The trip across the sea hadn’t been all that interesting and by the time that the ship had reached its destination, the crew were more than happy to see the back of their red headed passenger. There hadn’t been all that much to do and so Sienna had spent most of her time bothering most of the crew, asking them an almost endless list of questions that would probably drive anyone mad. Oh, she wasn’t malicious or anything, just curious beyond and belief, a trait that not everyone was able to handle. Still, the young mage had learned quite a lot about the lives of sailors and although it wasn’t the life for her. It had been fascinating to hear their tales nonetheless. Hopefully though, she wouldn’t have to board another ship for a while, as she had definitely had her fill of it for now.
Why had she come all the way to Tolgalen? Well, besides her natural desire to visit new places, she’d finally decided to hook up with a guild, after what felt like an age of debating and arguing with herself about it. It wasn’t as if she didn’t like the idea, just the fact that there were so many that interested her and she’d felt that she could have quite happily joined a number of them and done pretty well. However, there was one aspect of many guilds that just didn’t sit right with her and that was what had eventually been key. So many spoke about either being strictly light or dark and that was something that Sienna just didn’t believe. Everyone had light and dark inside them and to focus on just one half seemed kind of silly to her. Yet, the West Fiore Trading Company didn’t seem to even mention those ideals at all and that was what had caught the redhead’s attention.
After quietly asking one of the dock workers for directions, Sienna was soon on her way towards the headquarters, having to fight off the urge to make small talk with everyone she passed. She’d be there all day otherwise although she made a mental note to come back and introduce herself to the locals. They all seemed kind and friendly anyway, which was enough to bring a smile to the girl’s face. She’d been wandering for some time now and truly loved that life but having a place to call her own was a comforting thought for her. Somewhere she could always return to, when her travelling was done. She only hoped that the guild would be able to help her with that.
Eventually, she reached the largest building in the area and assuming that it was the HQ, Sienna would cheerfully enter and head towards the front desk. The foyer was beautifully decorated and it was hard for the for the redhead not to be in awe but after shaking her head for a moment or two, she managed to recompose herself and focus on her task at hand.
As she approached, a brunette haired woman looked up from her paperwork and smiled up at her, “Hello there, welcome to The West Fiore Trading Company. How may I help you?”
“I’d like to join the company, if I may,” Sienna answered without a second thought, her excitement levels building a little.
“A new recruit, huh?” The woman answered with a chuckle, “I see. You will need to talk to someone higher up for that. Please give me a few minutes and I will make a call.”
“Thanks,” Sienna answered with a grin, before wandering off and taking a seat, humming to herself as she waited.
