"You're really so lucky," Sammy tsked. "Having an upperclassmen willing to help you sort out your gear situation? Give advice? Especially in the same role?"
"It's a big ask, I know," Natalie said. "But consider this ... I'll pay you back?"
"I will take you up on that, frosh. I'll put that mouth to work."
"Tonight?"
"I could be convinced," Sammy said, grinning. "So. I can spare an hour. And did you know Tenet logs 'mentoring' as community work? So I'm not being wholly selfless."
"How does that work?"
"Just gotta have you confirm it. It's easy."
"How much?"
"Oh, I don't know. One and a half thousand an hour, or something like that."
"Thousand?!"
"That's not much, frosh. Not for a third-year. A single second-tier monster core and change."
Second-tier. Natalie had half-way forgotten that Sammy was a mid-ranker. By the standards of the typical delver, she was blazing through her progression. Most delvers, by a large majority, never made it to the upper ranks; their career ended in mid-rank. One way or another—often times the violent one.
Her quick advancement was expected from a woman with two years experience in one of the most prestigious academies on the planet. She obviously made faster pace than 'the average delver'. She approached what most people's careers would peak at in a tenth the time. Years instead of decades.
"Well," Natalie said. "I'm glad you can turn a profit off me, then."
"Thanks. But don't think that'll get you out of tonight. Like I said, I'm putting that mouth to work."
"Like I said," Natalie returned, "I'd be upset if you didn't."
Sammy laughed. "Okay. Break it down for me, then. What do you have, what's your situation in your party, and any important details to your class."
"Personal questions, don't you think?"
Sammy poked Natalie's shoulder. "Can hardly advise you on how to gear up without them. Besides," she said, smirking, "we've done a lot more personal, haven't we?"
"You have ravished me and stolen my innocence," Natalie said thoughtfully.
"The other way around!"
"So I guess I can trust you. What I have. Let's see..."
