"You totally got that guy hooked on you."
I snickered as me and Aphmau made our way to go talk to the fighting lords of Meteli, since an official lord hasn't yet been decided. Their lord being dead, in an almost similar manner to Phoenix Drop's past one.. I didn't want to say there was a connection, but there's definitely something odd about that, and I could tell the old lord was close to the head guard; Laurance.
I didn't expect him to be so passionate about her, but.. I couldn't deny, it was.. refreshing.
We finally made it to the first home, Hayden was his name, and he seemed to have a nice set up. Originally, I had planned to do the talking.. but, this whole mini mission is Aphmau's, and he had a gorgeous collection of swords I wanted to look into. I bumped my hand into Aph's and nodded my head to the swords with a wink, and she rolled her eyes and nodded, making her way to Hayden. One of his guard's gave me a small smile and a nod, a way of saying hello, and I nodded to her as well as I looked at his swords.
"Are you a collector? No.. you're a swordswoman, I see." The female guard made conversation with me, and I looked to her.
"Yes, I'm a mercenary on a break, exploring with my friend right now." I nodded over to Aphmau, who was wrapping up her conversation with Hayden.
"You wield a katana, I can't say I've ever seen anyone with that form of weapon before.." She eyed my sheath, and I unclipped it from my side in order to show her the sheath, which was equally as fancy as the katana within it. It was a black sheath with a golden dragon painted on it, the sheath had a few cuts on it, but it was still a sight to behold. It had a spell on it from a witch who was kind enough to do a small spell, making it seem like the dragon was moving.. and sometimes, it did move around on the sheath. In a way, I guess you could say I'm a collector.
"Y/N, ready?" Aphmau walked over, smiling at the guard and saying goodbye to Hayden's guard along with me as we walked out and in the direction of the other lords home of operations.
"You never let me see your moving dragon, so cool.." Aphmau whispered in awe, admiring my sheath that I decided to show off again, always one to be prideful for the things I've earned through hard work.. or some nice connections.

"I can't believe you took the sword." I teased Aphmau, who laughed and poked me with the hilt of it from her bed. We both decided to take residence in a.. hopefully, abandoned cabin. We did have my ship, which was anchored on the docks of Meteli, but I left some shadow ravens there to warn us of any potential thieves. The boat rocked too much too, we learned our lesson from when we slept over at the cat ladies island..
