Potion and I walked towards the Guild side-by-side.
I looked at my companion with an intrigued eye.
'Should I ask her? Would it be okay? It's okay, right?' I thought.
I nearly asked, but bit my lip.
'Maybe I shouldn't 'till she can trust me.'
Potion caught me staring at her and smiled.
I smiled awkwardly back at the female alchemist.
"Let's get going, Potion."
"You betcha!" she happily replied.
============================================================
Adventurer's Guild...
We zig-zagged through the line and made our way to the front desk.
There, we met a a Guild Staff member. She had wavy blonde hair. Gold eyes. And she wore the official Adventurer Guild Staff uniform.
"WELCOME TO THE ADVENTURER'S GUILD! I am Luna! Your go-to lady in these parts of the Guild. How may I help you?"

I tried to keep my eyes dead straight as I looked at this woman named Luna. I really didn't want Potion to get the wrong idea about me.
Potion was observing me after all.
"Hey, um...Miss?" I began anxiously.
"Please...no 'Miss'. Just call me Luna!" she said with glee. "No need for all the formality!"
"Okay, Luna. Can I become an adventurer? And if so, how?"
"You'll need to pay the entrance fee to the Guild first."
I patted myself down and check my bag (sack).
'Shoot! No money!'
I felt quite ashamed of having to tell Luna that I was poor. It was a good thing that...
"Here!" said Potion as she grabbed something from her pocket.
She put on the table what looked like...Eris cash? I guess that's the currency around here.
But I couldn't just accept this charity. I still had my pride y'know?
"Potion, you really don't have to..."
"It's fine!" she assured me. "I kind of want to join in this little thing too. I want to see how it turns out!"
"You want to become part of my party? Well...I...um..."
"Why you don't want me to?" wondered Potion with a surprised expression. "Is there a problem with me?"
"No, I....of course I want you to!" I admitted. "Please join me!"
