Mugi bowed low again and answered, "Er.. just a random adventurer." He felt bad using that kind of title when he just started. Adventurer was hardly a title for someone who walked less than a mile through a forest.
Mugi smiled at the rich-looking lady and adjusted his tunic.
"I'm just heading to, uh, Aelmoor. What is a sweet lady doing in the dirty forest?" Mugi almost said fancy and loaded, but that wouldn't really work when trying to flatter someone.

Ryu continued walking, she wanted to interact with someone soon, but how would she do that if she was always walking with her head down and her weapons in plain sight?
She thought maybe some people would like be scared of her or something, but maybe someone would approach her, she still hadn't mad it to Aelmoor...or whereever she was going.

"Old man," Ruko called, slamming the wooden door of her log cabin open with her heavy boot. "I'm home! What's to eat?"
An elderly man hunched over a large black cauldron, filled almost to the brim with a bubbling stew. Ruko sniffed the air, her mouth already starting to water, even if she had venison stew almost everyday, rewarmed.
"Same as always," the old man answered, not even batting an eyelash to Ruko's rude and raucous entrance. "What did you bring back?"
Ruko stared sheepishly at her feet. "Same as always."
"Meaning nothing." A sigh escaped the old man's wrinkled lips.
"Aw, shut up," Ruko mumbled, scowling. She pulled two bowls and two spoons from a cupboard and a loaf of bread from the breadbox that she had baked that morning. "It's not easy to find work when all the businesses have closed. Everyone's flocking to Aelmoor."
She placed the spoons and bread on the table before filling the bowls with the stew. The two of them sat down and clapped their hands twice.
"Thank you for the meal," they chorused curtly. Without further ado, they dug in, Ruko devouring eight bowls of stew and finishing off the loaf of bread before heading straight to bed, leaving the old man to do the cleaning.

Three bandits sneaked towards little girl. She was small, had short ebony hair, and carried a large bag filled with weapons of such. Perfect target. These three bandits were actually wanted for a large ransom. Another victim was going to be attacked. This girl, of course, was Ryu.
The leader of the trio walked up to Ryu, grinning. He held his sharp axe in his hand and played with the heavy weapon. He was large, muscular, and none too smart. He wore a brown, grimy headband and a dirty tunic with a brown cloak. His nose was something to be admired, it was pretty BIG.
"Hey there, little girl. Running errands?"
The leader's two cronies stood behind him. One was also pretty large, with a bald head and tons of tattoos. He didn't bother to wear a shirt and wore only breeches. He had a huge toothy grin on his face, if one could call it toothy--he was missing a lot of his teeth.
The other bandit was smaller and thinner, with a brown cloak covering most of his face. He had a dark brown and bristly beard and didn't smile. The only visible feature on his face was the lower half, of course.
The large bald man took a step towards Ryu. "Those are some nice edges you got there," he spoke, looking cocky. "Maybe you can share around..all of it?" He held a large sword in his hand, ready to threaten her.
The smaller man didn't smile, but he pulled out his dagger with speed. "You can either give all of your things to us and live," he added, "or die and let us take them anyway. Your choice."
The dirty leader laughed. "You look like a smart little girl. I think we'll know what you'd be choosing."
Indeed, the road to Aelmoor wasn't a safe one.
(I know what you're thinking, Ryu, and no, I'm not ruining your character. I'm giving a problem to make the story more interesting. Don't worry about it.)

Clara sat in the dim tavern, drinking a foaming cup of ale. She was usually busy with jobs, so it was nice to find time to relax and drink a pint or two.
Clara was a gorgeous creature, with dark, smooth skin and clean curves. She wore leather armor that covered her bosom and bottom, but left her belly button bare.
She didn't really need to protect too much when her opponents never saw her anyways. If they did, they were probably already on the ground with a cut in their throat. Besides, Clara liked showing what she had.
"Aaaah!" Clara gasped after slamming down her tin of ale. "That hit the spot!"
Her friends laughed and continued to drink their own cups.
"Careful," one of her hairy male friends spoke up, "A drunk girl isn't a safe one. I don't want you to get, you know.."
Clara just laughed and waved her hand dismissively. "Please. I can hold my liquor." She chugged down another drink. "Besides, even if I WAS stone drunk, I'd be kicking down any potential perverts." She punched an imaginary attacker to emphasize her point.
Clara's buddies all laughed and smiled, and the group continued their merry-making.

Ryu froze and turned to the three men with a glare, she didn't want to deal with this right now."Leave me alone, if you don't want to get hurt you should leave..."she said cooly with a sigh.
But just incase she put a hand on one of her swords in her pack. She knew these fools would try something, like really, who would listen to a small looking girl.

The leader of the bandits walked toward Ryu. He didn't find Ryu's glare or threat scary at all.
"You should think twice about your actions, little girl~"
But Ryu looked already convinced that she wasn't going to give her weapons. She even held one--not in a here-you-go manner, but in a one-step-and-you're-dead manner.
The leader sighed and shook his head. "What a waste. Kill her."
The bald man and cloaked man jumped at Ryu, their weapons poised for attack. The cloaked man was the first to strike, aiming straight at the girl's throat with his dagger.
The leader of the bandit trio smiled. "We gave you a chance, girl. Have fun in the after life."

Ryu glared and ducked down and then blocked the dagger with her sword and kicked at the man's feet and then quickly turned to the other man and swung at him.

The cloaked man was flipped over, but managed to land in a crouched position with his hand touching the ground. This girl was better than he thought.
The bald man managed to block Ryu's swing with his large sword and grunted. "Huh. Not as useless as I thought."

'Sweet lady'? Seeu almost wanted to sigh in enchantment. "Why...I'm only on my way home to Aelmoor." It was obvious she was flattered by such a word towards her. "Why, if you're on your way there too, why don't you ride with me and perhaps we can come to know each other much more." She, without shame, immediately grabbed onto his arm and pulled her towards her carriage. Her page obviously wanted to tell him he didn't want to sit with the obnoxious and annoying princess, but he was too caught up in trying to get rid of his pimple without leaving a scar. If he got rid of the zit, it'd leave a scar! And if he didn't want to leave a scar...the zit would stay. He wanted to grumble to himself as the princess noisily beckoned, while pulling, the stranger towards her ride home. "Come, come! I absolutely cannot wait to know so much more about you~!"

Mugi did not feel scared at all. Even though he was faced with impending doom(okay, the writer was exaggerating), he was too busy thinking about a ride to Aelmoor
Sweet, he thought with joy, Free ride AND a rich lady! Mugi was obviously considered, "Greedy".
As Mugi walked/was dragged toward the carriage, he smiled to himself and nodded. An answer was unneeded as he was already being forced in, but just to be polite, Mugi added in, "Sure, I'd be glad to!"

The young archer slumped onto the ground, peering around. Of course, Aelmoor was definitely busy. He kept an eye out for a job opening of the sort. Or maybe somebody to drop their scrap of food.
His stomach lurched for hunger. Gurrrrr. Those noises couldn't be human! Perhaps he could steal something? No, that wasn't right. The boy sighed, and rested his head on his knees. Soon. S O O N.
[[...meh, sorry, busy week. ; u; i shall update with sheer crap.]]

After ushering in her guest, Seeu began climbing the steps back inside the carriage. "Please, just make yourself at home..." She paused for a moment as she stood at the door. "...well...it isn't exactly a home, but please be comfortable." She grinned and chuckled as she pulled herself in only to get stuck, having her crinoline get caught again. "C-coach man!" She looked back out, being stuck before looking at Mugi shyly before smiling and laughing out of embarrassment before looking down, wanting to blame someone for such a ridiculous scene in front of her...very...handsome guest. As soon as she was pushed in, she squeaked a bit as she fell to the floor of her ride and the many layers of her dress flew everywhere. "E-excuse me! I'm sorry!" Seeu pulled herself up to surface her layers and blew some of her her strands out of my face. She looked at Mugi and smile. "Shall we be on our way?"
"Next stop! Aelmoor!" The coachman shouted and grumbled beneath his breath. "Stop frimpling about your pimple and get on!" The coachman got up back in his seat, grabbing the reigns as Shigeru pulled himself onto his seat at the back of the carriage, waiting to return home to all the lovely maids in the castle...that is...when this hideous zit disappears.

Ryu glared at the men with a slight smirk. As she jumped back and then attacked them again. She was going to prove to them that she was NOT just another weak little girl, that she was something more.

((Len, please don't stop updating Adventure Guild! ;3; I'm even drawing you as an archer in this big picture thingy. You have an awesome bow. Even if I can't draw it. ;3;
..Which leads me to my next question. Would SeeU be considered important, or Shigeru? Or both or neither? If so, what weapons do/es she/he/they use? I imagine SeeU as a cleric or mage of some sort. w
Same with Ryu. What shall I draw her holding?
Oh, and same with Haku and Luka. Are they important and what shall they wield?))

The hooded man tried another dive towards Ryu, his knife aimed for a quick hit to her throat. The bald man didn't bother with anything like that and swung his sword down at the girl.
The leader of the bandits groaned.
"How long can you take to kill a stupid twerp?" He shook his head at his friends and hefted his axe up. "Let me do it."
While the hooded man tried to hold her down, the leader brought his axe down with frightening speed, the weapon dangerously aimed for Ryu's head.
___________________________________________________________________________
When the fluffy haired girl's huge dress got caught in the carriage, Mugi felt no surprise. In fact, he was wondering how the lady managed to even move with that huge thing.
He tried to be as polite as possible and made sure to help the rich missy onto her seat. Then he sat down and smiled at her words. Lots of smiles.
"Yes, lets! Thank you for the ride, by the way.."
The minute he got to Aelmoor, Mugi planned to find a good weapon, a nice job, and a great place to stay. Maybe he'd live in Aelmoor for the rest of his life. If it was a good city, of course.
(PPPPFT. IT'S AN ADVENTURE STORY, SILLY MUGI. YOU STAYING IN ONE PLACE FOR LONGER THAN A WEEK IS CONSIDERED A MIRACLE.)
