Upon arriving, she found Olu had already finished with Vern and was now teaching Silver the art of defending against a faster opponent. As Silver and Olu classed their blades, Orion cheered them on, and she spotted Vern sitting to the side with a fair amount of bruises and lumps.
"Oh good," Bree let out a sigh of relief. "I was afraid Olu was going to use his blade, but he seems to have used a wooden sword on him," Upon looking at him, she noticed that the strap that once held the knife he had lost during the Boar Goblin attack had been replaced with his sword.
Bree was about to leave Vern to nurse his wounds when she saw a woman in a yellow sundress and sun hat holding a med kit walking towards him. She recognized her as similar to Daisy in race, a Minotarlike Equine. Upon getting a closer look, her long gray ears showed her to be a Minotorian Donkey Centaur.
"Marry," Vern said, his demeanor changing upon seeing her. The sigh of you is all I need to help nurse my wounds." Mary chuckled and smiled at him, showing off her crooked smile, which only made Vern swoon harder. She sat next to him and began nursing his bumps and bruises while he fawned over her.
"Hu," Bree looked at the scene in silence. I see he's a man of good taste," she decided before flying away to check on Gunter. Finding him took a fair bit longer, but his choice of apparel eventually gave him away. He was in the housing district; the home looked like any other building.
He was being chastised by a tall, angry-looking Woman. Upon closer inspection, Bree identified her as not human but couldn't place her species.
She had long, pointed ears, black hair, and orange skin with darker red splotches around her body. To say she was stacked with muscle would be an understatement. She wore a plain white tank top and shorts and looked like she would take on Minerva in an arm wrestling contest.
"Do you know how worried I've been?" She demanded angrily. "You haven't sent me a letter in weeks,"
"Eileen," Gunter said as he stepped back, "I sent a letter last week; you know how long it takes for the mail to come out this far," Eileen crossed her arms and gave an irritated huff.
"I don't like how long you stay away," She said in a hurt voice. "I haven't seen you in months,"
"Don't worry," Gunter said, setting his staff down. "If the stories I'm hearing around here are true and an Elf has moved here, then I might just have to ask Jaden if her offer to have me join the Protectors is still valid,"
"You mean it!" Eileen sounded elated, "You're leaving the guild,"
"I have to finish this last mission and take my client to the Capital of Ozama, but after that, I think I'm done," Gunter smiled slyly. "More importantly, I think it's time we finally come together and start that family you always wanted," Eileen grabbed her Husband, and Bree flinched as his large wife nearly squashed him
"Oh, I've been waiting for years to hear you say that," Eileen leaned in close and whispered something to him; Gunter turned red at the words.
"Well," He said nervously, "my client is planning to stay the night," No more words were said as Eileen opened the door to their home and carried him inside.
"This is not something I need to be spying on," Bree realized, quickly zipping away from the couple. Upon landing, she activated her communication spell and spoke to Jaden.
"I would like to make it known that as thanks for being my guide, all three of the humans who traveled here with me are welcome to join the Protectors,"
"I am more than happy to oblige," Jaden replied. "We could use more people with some experience on their hands," Bree decided to check in on Gale and found her still deep in conversation with Belin.
