They beamed under the recognition. That's right! They had joined the guild! They had completed the tasks the guild master had set for them and they were now officially a Loreseeker. They wore their pin proudly every single day, making sure it was visible to everyone at all times.
"I love the work," they asserted, even if most of it had been copying texts so far. It was the truth. Just being in the guild hall made them puff up their chest with pride. Being allowed to pass through those doors, to have access to the gathered information within... they didn't think anything in the world could have made them happier! And for someone else - a fellow Grounder! - to recognize them as a Loreseeker?! This day was getting better and better!!!
Buuuuuuuuut then... then she had to ask about Provost Silversmith. Which only reminded them that they no, actually, they hadn't cleared this little trip with him first. I'm not disobeying, I'm not disobeying...
They cleared their throat again (am I doing that too much? better stop) and smiled. "It is my first time to Torchline, yes," they agreed. Don't press me on the rest, don't press me on the rest...
"It sounds like you're pretty used to how things go around here?" they asked, hoping to distract her from the subject of the guild master. "Any recommendations? Tips and tricks from a seasoned pro, that sort of thing? Hearing about a place is nothing like actually being here - THERE," they corrected quickly. Big smile. BIG BIG TOTALLY INNOCENT SMILE.
