It all began shortly after she was enjoying a pleasant breakfast in the inn where she and Alisa had been staying at. It was quite a simple breakfast really, just some toasts with cheese and a goblet of cold milk, she was quite in a good mood at the time, perhaps since the meal was being pretty good, but it was at that time that the first signs of troubles started to show themselves. She should have expected it really, after the recent events with Dex Miller it wouldn't be unexpected for her to run into more troubles, and indeed as she was quite occupied with enjoying her toast a armored knight walked into the area. A glimpse at his breastplate and the badge clearly shown he was a Rune Knight, she couldn't mistake that pendant for anything else even if she wanted to.
However, curiously enough the knight seemed to be looking for something, or someone and when he spotted her and that smile emerged on his lips Esperia knew how late it was: that man was there for her. With a confident stride the man approached her table and addressed her. "Good morning Esperia, having a nice breakfast?" The purple-haired lass did her best to muster a charming smile as she gestured toward the chair at the other side of the table. "I am~ How about you Jelias? Are you here on business, or do you prefer to join me for a meal?"
She knew the man well enough, after all during her stay in Orchidia it was difficult for one not to know the name of the head guard of the noble family that ruled over Orchidia. Luckily she also knew that Jelias was a bit of a simple schemer, as became evident when he took a seat. "I'd love to do both, have you heard the stories about the recent misdeeds of the outlaw known as Keith?"
Esperia raised a hand to her cheek, tapping it lightly as she took a short break from eating her food to ponder about the question. "I heard some stories before, isn't he some sort of bandit that has been terrorizing travelers in the nearby forest?"
Jelias nodded his head curtly in response. "Indeed, originally Keith was from Orchidia, but he was banished after committing several crimes, but he still continues to lurk around the forest. He is quite a nuisance to say the least."
Of course, Jelias must had a reason to bring up this subject now, didn't he? He would had been a fool if he had only been trying to talk about rumors and gossip...
