After you took a much needed shower and changed clothes you came down the staircase. Then went up to the desk to say thank you to Atheme and be on your way.
"Hey-" you start but before you can finish Atheme cuts you off.
"Good your here, take these before you leave you'll need them." Atheme hands you a leather bag, some containers, a map, and a watch.
"Thanks but what's the watch for?"
"It has a timer see," he points at a hand counting down, "once it hits zero you need to head back here so your not late."
"Okay, well I should probably be on my way." You open the door to leave but then he calls out to you.
"I recommend going to dragon falls to get the scales first."
"Thanks Atheme"

You walk out of the shop and before you even get 10 feet you bump into someone.
"Sorry I-," you start before realizing who it was "oh nevermind its you." The orc from earlier was glaring down at you.
"Can you never watch where your going?"
"Can you?"
The orc sighs and says "Whatever. Why were you coming out of that shop?"
"Its none of your business"
"I just needed to see if he knew where to get dragon scales and a few other things but he just closed, so i thought you would know."
"Well, lucky for you he just told me where to get dragon scales."
"Okay well I guess I'm going with you to get them."
"Who said-" he yanks the map from you and grabs your hand dragging you somewhere.

"Woah wait you are not coming with me", You try pulling your hand away but his grip was too tight.
"We need two people to get in anyway so just shut up."
Before you can say anything back you arrive at the docks and he starts talking to what seems to be a sailor.
"We would like to rent a boat for about 3 days" the orc says in an awfully nice tone.
"That'll be 60 shillings"
"It says 10 per day on your sign"
"Well you two don't look like your even going to bring it back so, 60 shillings."
"Whatever" the orc pays him and you both get in a boat.

The orc starts getting everything ready and in about 3 minutes you guys start heading to dragon falls.
"So," you start "Do you think he made us pay extra because im a human or because you were holding my hand?"
"Oh shut up will you" he shot a glare back at you.
"Hey im just trying to make conversation so its not awkward"
"Well stop."
After waiting a few minutes you got bored and piped up again.
"Can i know your name?"
He huffs in annoyance before replying "Claude"
"I did not think that was gonna be your name it isn't very fitting"
"Tell me your name then shut. up."
"Damn okay then i see how its gonna be. My names y/n"
"Dumb name for a dumb guy."

You shoot him a glare not replying to his remark.
This is going to be a long ride.
