"Oh, well, I wouldn't say being a Loreseeker is a profession. It's...," and their voice verged on reverence, "a calling." After that it returned to normal. "And it's not my place to say who can and can't join the guild. It really is up to the provost, so I'm afraid I can't help you there."
They were, honestly, a little confused at the idea of being a Loreseeker as a profession. They supposed it could be considered such. Maybe. If you squinted. Hoping it would help Miss Petra, they added, "Being a Loreseeker doesn't really get you much in the way of material goods anyway."
They did grin a little at her stumbling over 'VlamVloed'. At least, they assumed she'd stumbled over it. "VlamVloed," they said again, just a tad slower. "It's Korofian - from the world Mr. Sunjata's from. Apparently it means 'Fire and Flood'; it has personal meaning to him." It wasn't all that personal, but it also wasn't really their story to share. "Anyway, it's a public house, bar, tavern, inn... whichever word you prefer for it. It's a meeting place. With alcohol." They smiled. "Mr. Sunjata rents rooms there, and I worked for him to cover my stay. Just basic stuff: sweeping and mopping, cleaning tables, that sort of thing. It's easy, but sometimes it gets really busy in there, and then it gets hard to keep up!"
