"I don't mean money." She looked at him, showing her pitch black eyes. "I need to find a place where I can be alone. Alone is the only place I can be myself safely." She said. She was young, but extremely mature.

Kuno raised an eyebrow, "someone more interested in self-expression than wealth. Now you are fascinating, my friend. I think we can help each other, although I am most interested in your skillset if you believe that it's good enough to warrant such a valuable reward."

Me: Uh... *Quickly goes and looks at the character sheet I created*

"I can survive almost anywhere, with very little in terms of supplies. Actually, depending on the location, I wouldn't even need supplies. I can also fight, and can solve almost any puzzle." She sighed.

"Such a fascinating skillset my friend. I believe we can use your services and afford your price, so long as your skills match the description that you've just given me." Kuno held out his hand towards the newcomer despite the distance separating them, "it's a pleasure to meet you, what is your name?"

"Tanda." She made no attempt to shake his hand.

Upon seeing that she wouldn't take his hand, he simply brushed it on his shirt. "It's a pleasure to meet you Tanda, these are my companions." He gestured to the people around him, "they are also new friends of mine, but they are all wonderful people." Kuno paused for a moment, "such wonderful eyes my friend, Tanda, you would do good to not hide them so much. Eyes are much like names in many ways."

She made no move to uncover her eyes, and nodded to the man's companions. "Nice to meet you." Sheesh. So many people.

Kuno gestured for Tanda to come closer, but spoke regardless of her reaction. "I have a task that should be easy for a person of the skillset that you've described Tanda. How effective are you at tracking people?"

"It depends. I'd need some sort of trail to follow."

Kuno smiled, "then you would be a perfect fit by your own description. The target is an amal, and I want her alive. Can you accomplish that?"

Kuno chuckled, "a sense of humor? Not enough of that going around these days if you ask me, my friend. I think that this mission will have to move into action fast, so I believe the best choice would be to send my current companions with you, including Catorphia. Don't you all agree?" As Kuno stated that last name, the woman in desert garb looked slightly panicked at this statement, although she didn't say anything as she stood protectively near Kuno.

I wasn't joking... "I can leave whenever."

Mira looks between the new person and her... employer? I guess... “you want me to go with? On a kidnapping mission?” Mira shrugs, “if that’s what you want me to do I guess I can go”

"'Kidnapping' is such a strange term, I think that 'retrieval' fits this situation far better."

"Excellent, simply give my companions a few moments to discuss how long it will take them to be prepared to leave."

"Okay." She moaned internally. Well, if it will get me closer to my goal, it's worth it.

"I'm sure it will only take a brief moment, no worries my friend!"

Kuno turned to Fie and 'Jane,' and spoke in a far more hushed voice. "You two want to be helpful with no small amount of excitement? Then this is what I need to be done right now. I wasn't considering sending you out on this mission at first because of a few limitations, but I feel that you'll mostly be keeping on eye on this one." He subtly nodded his head towards Tanda. "But to keep an eye on you, I intend to send Catorphia, my personal bodyguard. She comes off as a little tough, but you'll warm up to her. Now, do you two want to do this task?"

Kuno nodded, "excellent. I will share details with you two that you may keep to yourself, or you may share with this 'Tanda' individual, I will leave that choice to you. In all truth, you are after two individuals; however, my sources tell me that they are staying together at this moment, so if you find one of them, you'll find the other. She'll be tracking down an amal named 'Concerto,' he was the leader of our enemy, but he was recently ousted. The reason I'm sending you after him is because of the information that he holds is valuable to me. His companion is his own sister, it is vital that you retrieve both for me, alive. Do you understand?"

Mira frowns but matches the hushed tone, “your sending us to watch this person cause you don’t trust them, but you also don’t trust us so your sending her?” She shrugs, “feels convoluted but sure. I can go.”
