@Victoria Sheridan
It had been a crazy few weeks since the most recent job that Sarah and Victoria had pulled together. In that time, Sarah had mostly been busy solving "problems", which mostly consisted of citizens who were upset with their neighbors for borrowing tools and not giving them back in a timely manner. This was not what Sarah had signed up for when she decided to follow the path of a mage. But then, there was a lot more than fighting involved with her line of work. Just recently she'd had to talk two toddlers out of a tiresome tantrum, with the help of Victoria.
If she could survive that, she felt she could survive just about anything. As she walked into the Red Dragon Inn, she could see the X ranked mage tending bar. She didn't want to bother her right away, though, so instead she decided to open up her iLac, and see what popped up on her news feed. What greeted her was something appalling. A rash of murders had occurred in Era, and the Rune Knights hadn't been able to do anything about it due to there forces being elsewhere at the time.
This needed to be solved quickly, and Sarah had a good idea as to who she could rely on to help her do it. She sauntered up to the bar, seeming like she had a question on her mind. Normally she would have ordered a particularly strong drink, considering the week that she was having, but in this case, she didn't think that was such a good idea. "Hey, Vic, nice outfit today. Really, you look great. I was just wondering if you might be bored enough to help me take care of a problem in Era. Apparently someone's been going around killing people, and they haven't been stopped yet. Just seemed like something that might be worth looking into, if you're up for it."
Sarah had recently received her A rank certification, after a fair deal of training, and had wanted to test out her newfound strength firsthand. She didn't quite know her strength at this point, and was anxious to find out just how much stronger she had become. She was getting ever closer to her goal of being one of the top mages in Fiore, but she still had a long way to go before she reached that point. At this point, she could only hope to not disappoint her fellow guild members. "I mean, it's not like you have to go, but I don't think I could handle it on my own, and to be honest, you're one of the few people I've actually spent any measurable amount of time with in this guild."
Sarah didn't mean any offense with anything she said, but she also had a way of accidentally saying too much. "I mean....well, I thought it might be nice to spend more time together." Her voice seemed to get quieter with each word of this sentence, before she sat down at the bar, and looked away in embarrassment. She wasn't sure why she still got so nervous around Victoria. The woman had literally seen her at her worst, as well as seen her in the form of a disfigured toy. Sarah just couldn't shake the feeling that she might say the wrong things around her, and that caused her to act in a manner that could be considered odd.
"So....would you be okay with doing this job with me? I know I'm not as strong as you are, but I really feel like I could be useful if I tried, and I really need your help. All we have to do is go to Era, arrest someone, or someones, and bring them in alive. Seems simple enough to me, but at the same time, Era usually has at least a few Rune Knights at their disposal. If they're having trouble, just one A rank mage might not be enough." She was doing her best to praise Victoria while asking for her assistance on this job.
The two seemed to get along well enough, but Sarah sometimes felt like a compliment here and there might not hurt things between them. "So, you in?" While she'd been asking for Victoria's help with the job, Sarah had been re-wrapping her hand wraps, to ensure that they did not come loose in the time that it would take to get this job done. She looked a bit frazzled from the previous few weeks, but otherwise, she was in peak condition. After waiting for a response, Sarah walked outside and flagged down a coach, which appeared to be empty.
She generally preferred to walk, when able, but she felt as though this job was urgent enough to warrant a bit of motion sickness. She would be more than willing to help Victoria in before getting inside of it herself, and sitting across from her. "Hey...so...I know I've been acting a bit funny since the mall incident, and I'm sorry about that. It's just...how do I say this....I feel safer around you, if that makes any sense. You're the only one that's seen me like that. You're the only one who's really seen me. The rest only seem to see what I show them, but you seem to really understand me, at least, at times. That's why I like to spend time with you so much. So...when we get back from this, I was wondering, do you think you might want to go do something fun with me, like going to a park or something?"
Sarah was rarely vulnerable around anyone else, but she felt like it was okay around Victoria, because she had been there for Sarah at her weakest moment. It was something that the redhead would never forget, the way that Victoria had gone out of her way to search for her in the middle of a rather tricky situation, and found her covered in little more than a shopping bag.
