For some reason, Sage felt his heart tugging a little, tugging him to help the man. Not thinking of the consequences, Sage walked up to the man and began to ask if anything was alright. "Er, excuse me, but you don't look okay, is there something wrong?" he asked with a gentle tone. The man quickly grabbed Sage's shoulders. "Yes, yes. You look like an adventurer, do you take requests? Please you have to help me." the man said, panic in his voice. "Yes, I do take requests, what is it?" Sage replied. "Well there is this man, he- he is someone with power, I was supposed to pay my due to him but I didn't because it isn't his right to ask for money in the first place! So now, from what I heard, he would sent his men to rob my shop clean. Can you please defend this shop for me?" The man explained to Sage. Sage nodded his head, "Well I can see that you are clearly the victim here, so yes I will defend your shop, you don't need to worry about it." Sage agreed with a soft smile at the end of his sentences, providing reassurance to the man. "Thank you thank you!" The man exclaimed.
