Baron prepared for the next mission ahead, he adjusted the suit the best he could to make himself comfortable and not before long he had already managed to ditch his tie as well as his jacket the only thing he was wearing now was little more than his pants, suspenders and under shirt as well as his new shoes. All in all the green bean stalk mission was a good excuse for him to ditch his clothing and get more comfortable. Still, having Alisa around made it difficult to properly strip himself as she was already so deep into the guild’s rules and regulations.

He rubbed his hands together and nodded to himself, his wrist were a bit sore but given that the girl had done most of the work in their last mission he shouldn’t have complained too much, no instead he followed along like the poor dog that he was. She was the leader and he would follow as needed so she wouldn’t get anymore irritated with him and his filthy ways.Still, every now and again he liked to think about other things, like the women he had once known, he wondered where the purple hair was, where akira was and where the little elf was. They were all gone to him and he may have never seen them again. If only they were around when he needed them, the road was lonely and being on his own for so long wasn’t good for him, it couldn’t have been.

Now, when Alisa mentioned their newest job he’d nod in agreement, though, it didn’t seem right for them to take so many jobs so close together. There was a certain thing about doing so much so soon that turned him off. He could have just been getting lazy, but regardless he would do his job and let things go on their way. He wasn’t belly aching in the forest, he wasn’t going to belly ache now. Still, it would have been nice to have a break or something for all of this hard work. She was going to work him ragged, even the strongest work horse needed a little break, but still he wouldn’t mention it he would only follow along as he should have. That and being the dog of the team had its benefits, she had taken him out to eat at a pizza place! And boy was it a good looking place. He had of course ordered a few slices for himself and sadly the triangle dish didn’t stand a chance as he devoured it as if he was an animal. He’d roll the slices up and suck them down, tore others apart and in the end he had managed to not get any pizza on his clothing. Perhaps it was a talent but as she spoke about continuing to work he’d nod in agreement as he finished his water.

Picking up a last slice as they left off he’d slide it into his mouth and follow her out of the door, “Hey Alisa, how come you ain’t ever marry?”

Baron whistled as he waited for Alisa’s reply. It seemed she was a bit steady on her answer but he was unsure what she could have said at this point. She seemed a good woman, he asked because of that. Sure, he suspected she liked the ladies but still, there was no reason someone like her wouldn’t be wed. She was beautiful after all, very beautiful even but he could have been wrong as to why she was single. She was beautiful and smart and strong, many women could have appreciated such a trait like he did. She was a good woman, very good.

He rubbed his hands together and took a breath into them as he prepared an answer, “I was just curious, it seems many in this realm can’t wait to get married heck, there are always new newly weds everyday it seemed I just thought you may have been one of those who wanted to wed but didn’t for some reason or another. Sorry if it was deeply personal. He’d follow her to their client, he’d let her do most of the talking while he stretched his arms and legs. She was a nice girl, maybe that was why he asked. He was unsure why he even made this a thing.

The back of his head began to ache, he shook it and sighed aloud as the man stopped speaking. They had to work with more vegetables it seemed still it was going to be a good mission.

Baron whistled to himself after Alisa spoke about not wanting a relationship, it was sort of odd to hear that. Her movements were always flirtatious and suggestive rather she knew it or not, he was a bit perplexed by the idea of her not being in a relationship. Then again, she was young, and women her age typically didn’t want to settle down with anyone until they were ready. He could respect that, she was a woman and she did her thing, that’s what most would want to do and when you had power who needed eye candy? Well him still, he always had lust on the mind.

When the tasks came into doing they would get it done as quickly as they did the others, he watched her do her thing as he did his own just trying to catch up to her pace and before they knew it they were already on their feet and leaving again. He gasped at the speed at which they got done and lowly chuckled to himself, “Well, that wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be.” he dusted off his pants and looked to his accomplice, had she gone her way he’d follow and if not he’d sit idle. He was her servant here and he only wanted to make her happy.

Why? He didn’t know, maybe because he wanted to be around them and do his best to earn their affections through whatever tasks was up. This was pretty good. more money after all.
