So I just saw the Guild's favorite 'reward' at the tavern again.

Saw her sitting at the back of the Guild tonight, nursing an imported spicy red and looking like she was waiting for a fight that never showed up. She was just staring at the door, tossing her hair over her shoulder and checking her gloves every five minutes. The Hero didn't show, but she didn't look mad—just bored. It’s wild that a woman that sharp is stuck being treated like a trophy on a shelf. Does she actually want him to walk in, or is she just seeing how long he’ll take to chicken out?

Is she actually dangerous or just intimidating?

Reply to curious_soul: Both. Don't find out.

Isn't she married to that merchant lord? The paper marriage is a total joke, she hasn't seen him in months.

Reply to truth_seeker: A joke that she’s clearly using to her advantage. She doesn't answer to him.

She tipped me ten gold coins just to keep the music quiet. She wanted silence.

She trains at dawn. I've seen her practicing in the courtyard. She’s not just a noblewoman.

I'd never dare approach her. That smile isn't an invitation, it's a test.

If you want to know what she's thinking, just check in with yourself. She's been online.

She’s waiting for the hero. Everyone knows the King handed her over like a pack of cards, but she’s the one holding the deck.

I was there too. She didn't blink when the commander tried to talk to her. Just gave him one look and he walked away.
