Fingers clutched around a paper bag while the other hand dispensed the appropriate amount of coin in return. Pardons were passed in response as she was thanked for her patronage, and the elf carried on her business. In the bag was ingredients needed to practice her alchemy, as healing potions and other essentials were a much needed commodity for adventurers. Though that would be for another day, as the elf had finally planned on going into the dungeon.
[break][break]
A week passed since she received the gods blessing, yet she hesitated on entering the labyrinth below, unsure of what dangers would unfold. Advice from the guild had been to go as a party with another adventurer or even a supporter, but that would require having faith in another person to have your back.
[break][break]
With a meek expression, she stood in front of the entrance with staff in hand. Blue eyes flicked from person to person as she calculated asking a group to let her join. She was a novice, and not many would have the patience to bring on the baggage of a new adventurer. Cheeks burned in her frustration as she cowardly tried to address everyone that walked close. "Excuse me,--"
[break][break]
They all knew what she wanted, and each turned their backs as if they were all part of one large conspiracy. This was the problem she had with mortals.

[attr="class","post"] "nope," lazarus tosses whatever it is he's holding behind him, before continuing to rummage through the bag in his hands, "nope, and nope." another item is tossed with each word, and soon enough the bag comes up empty. lazarus sticks his head in to double-check, and when his guess is confirmed he casts away the bag with a sigh. just his luck, nothing of value. well, to him anyway. he notices the elf first because she's alone, then because of the bag she held. she looked like one of those fancy types, but maybe that was just an elf thing in general. still, lazarus sees an opportunity--she seems pretty focused on the crowd of adventurers in front of her--and, if appearances were anything to go by, a decent loot if things went his way. lazarus checks the floor for any puddles, a search that comes up fruitless. looks like he was going to have to go old-school. he could roll with that. it's with a practised ease he walks by the elf, seemingly nonchalant though his hands are at the ready. once he's close enough, he makes a grab for the bag without stopping, hoping he's got a secure enough grip to pull it with him.

Aspiration swiftly plummeted as the daily crowd began to thin, and her options appeared limited. Taking a step forward, she tried to physically stop a group, but instead they ran into her, bumping her aside and grimacing, "Go with your familia!" she heard as she recollected her bearing before noticing that something was off. [break][break] The paper bag she paid for earlier was no longer in her hand, and her gaze began to frantically search the immediate area. It was not on the ground, which meant that someone had picked it up. She had been the victim of many pickpockets, but none went out of their way to steal plants. [break][break] just great [break][break] The icing on the shitstorm cake that was her day. It began to feel as though coming to Orario was a large mistake. She still had the money to pay for more, but that was back in her room, and she didn't want to purchase more the next day. To be able to buy more in the evening, she had to earn the funding, which meant going into the dungeon even if she was by herself. [break][break] Turning towards the entrance, her eyes scanned for anyone that might have been alone, and ignoring any tell tale signs of malicious behavior she approached, running to swiftly close the distance between the two. "Hey you!" she let out, letting go of her well manner'd speech for something that would finally get someone's attention.

[attr="class","post"]lazarus looks around quickly, before taking a seat on the ground. he figured the crowds would make for decent cover. with the composure of someone who, well, hadn't just stolen something, he places the bag in front of him and peers in. his expression betrays his disappointment, but there's no one there to see it. seriously? plants? "you've got to be kidding me..."he's starting to really question his luck, for two successes in a row to end up unfruitful, even if it isn't the most unexpected outcome. the pitfalls of thievery, unfortunately. staring into the bag for a while longer, he contemplates what he's supposed to do with it now. he could just leave it, and if the elf found her bag eventually then good for her--he doubted someone else was going to pick up a bag with this contents. before he can make a decision, he's interrupted by a shout. looking up, he finds the elf herself narrowly avoiding what may have been an extremely embarassing (but hilarious for him) interaction. he hastily slides the bag behind him, though there's not enough time to check if his body's hiding it completely, and looks up with an easy grin. "what's the problem, miss?" he asks, "need help with something?"his thoughts can't help but wonder back to the bag as he waits for a response. what would she needs plants for? in a dungeon, at that. maybe they were rare. lazarus entertains the idea for a moment or so, more for sake of fantasy rather than actual reason. would have been nice, he thinks, if it'd turned out he'd snagged a fortune.

Stopping shy of the crimson haired man, the elf raised her hand to her forehead, irritation written clearly on her face. "Some jerk made off with the herbs I planned to make potions with to sell to adventurers. Not only that,--" she started, gesturing to herself and the crowd behind her as she began to slightly rant about her crappy day, "but I am out of options. I need enough money to buy more ingredients, and no one will take me with them into the Dungeon. I -" she stopped, recognizing how embarrassing it was to admit she needed help, "I cannot go alone as a caster..."
[break][break]
Her cheeks burned slightly as she looked away, noticing that she dumped emotionally on this bystander. However she was not the type to apologize and instead cut the awkward silence with her final question.
[break][break]
"I suppose, what I am asking, is if you would be willing to go in with me. We only have to kill enough monsters to make back the valis I lost and I will be out of your hair," she asked with a soft and clearly begging smile, "Please?"
[break][break]
This stranger didn't owe her anything, and he was allowed to say no, to which she would be defeated, but she hoped he was a compassionate person who could throw her a bone. But no one did anything for free, "--I could pay you!... Uh, I will pay you a portion of the valis earned. In equal to your contribution that is... I am sure you are capable of defeating lower level monsters by yourself, but it's still a hassle right?"

[attr="class","post"]lazarus averts his gaze as the elf goes on. he doesn't usually have a problem dealing with the people he targets, mostly because he doesn't stick around long enough to even spare them a second glance, but he can't deny that she's been having a bad day. his gaze falls on a group nearby, idly chatting among themselves, and the moment the elf looks away he's chucked the bag to be hidden within the small crowd. she wouldn't be finding it again any time soon, if ever. half-listening to the rest of her story, he starts wondering whether he should feel bad. they didn't seem like they were worth too much, at least, but value, he supposed, was often relative. lazarus rests a hand on his chin as he looks up at the other adventurer. leaving a moment's silence between them, he surprises even himself when he agrees to her terms. "ah you know what, why not?"alright, so maybe he felt a bit bad. resigned to his fate, lazarus stands up and stretches his arms. "name's lazarus, by the way. you can call me russ."besides, he'd been meaning to pay the dungeons a visit eventually. to do something other than stealing, for once. it was better doing it sooner rather than later, which would have inevitably been the case had he been left to his own devices.

Relief. [break][break]
Her expression shifted from depression to gratitude as she stifled her desire to leap for joy. "Thank you," she said giving a respectful bow to the man who she was now indebted to. Though their company would be brief, she felt comforted knowing that she could trust the man to have her back in the labyrinth below them.
[break][break]
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Russ.... I am Aura," she responded before tucking a stubborn strand of hair behind her ear.
[break][break]
Taking a moment she looked over his person to try and identify what kind of adventurer he was. It was hard to tell at a glance, as she didn't find any identifying weapons. Perhaps he was also a spell caster, or he solely worked with his hands. With pursed lips she found herself walking towards the entrance, hoping he would follow quickly. She would have to wait to see in the end.
[break][break]
It wouldn't take long before to two could descend into the dungeon. The stairs leveling out on the first floor for the two adventurers. In her mind, she saw him as an expert of the labyrinth and wouldn't mind leading her on her first expedition, --was she wrong?
