Fen rolled his eyes and took Ori's hand. "Well, we're in luck. There's a high ranked guild in town and they've got some pretty high paying quests. Difficult, of course, but bag a lot if you come back alive."

Ori gave him a sunny smile in return, lacing their fingers together and pulling Fen down to sit. "Well that sounds fun, why don't we go check them out after we eat?"

"That is if they'll listen to us." Fen huffed. "Yeah, a lot of people like to laugh us right out of a guild meeting because they think we're under quafi- under quani- Fen, what's the word?" "Under qualified. They think we're too low level for it despite doing this for years. But with you around, maybe they'll finally take us seriously."

"I don't know how much credibility I add sweetheart, but hopefully it'll be enough for us to do something worthwhile. Any idea what we'll be squaring up against, or are we going in blind?"

"It's not the credibility, it's the appearance. At least now we look more official." Fen huffed. "As for what we'll be facing, I'm not sure. Looks like we're going in blind."

Ori sighed, but it wasn't like the answer was unexpected. "You're going to be on high alert the whole time then, aren't you? The only time they don't tell is when it's something hard to kill."

"I don't have much of a choice. I'll try to find our more but I don't know how much they'll want to divulge."

"I know, it's not you're fault they're a bunch of secretive bastards." He sighed again, leaning against Fen's side. "I just wish they weren't so hard to work with, that's all."

"That's the unfortunate part of working with high level adventurers. They're prideful and hate sharing the spotlight."

"Not to mention secretive." Ori huffed quietly. "For a guild looking to hire out some extra help, they sure do suck at giving us the details we'll need."

"That's what happens when you get to be high level. Honestly, it's why I've never fully been able to get into adventuring like others. I don't want to become that."

Ori wrinkled up his nose at the thought. "God, yeah. I'd hate to turn into one of those bastards, even if they do give us help from time to time. The higher position isn't worth being so insufferable."

"Right, well, the best way to prove them wrong is to do their quest so let's go." Fen flashed a smile and stood.

Ori pushed himself up at well, lingering by the side of the table so he could take Archer's hand before they followed Fen out the door. "How much will we be getting for it, exactly? Usually they at least let you know about rewards."

"1000 gold with 500 silver." "What?! Are you trying to get us killed?!" "Not in the slightest, Archer. But that's what they've got."

"You people are ridiculous, we could buy a house with all that." He looped his free arm through Fen's, tugging both his boyfriends out the door. "I say it's well worth the risk."

"If you can convince Archer to stay still for more than ten minutes, we can consider getting a house." Fen rolled his eyes with a smile.

Ori laughed. "It was a hypothetical, Fen! I'm just saying that much gold is nothing to turn your nose up at, especially since we're looking to fill up our coffers again."

"I'm not saying it is! But I am saying that the bounty wouldn't be so high unless there was something really dangerous to get it."

Ori deflated a little at that. "Yeah. It's probably gonna be a pain in the ass to kill whatever it is. Let alone dragging some kind of proof back to the guild hall."

"Well, nothing to do but go and find out what we're up against." Fen sighed, glancing up at the guild hall in the distance.

"Sounds good to me." Ori gave him a cheery smile, trudging towards the distant guild hall. "Did Dilena tell us who to to talk to about accepting everything?"

"Yes, yes she did. We're looking for a woman by the name of Xachia. Which makes me a little nervous because Xachia is a known demon hunter and we don't do demons."
