It wasn't as though she felt grateful for the opportunity to do a job for the guild, in fact that was really how she did feel about being able to go out to do this. There were a couple of issues which normally she didn't think about. It hadn't been the fact of the travel or what she had to do in order to complete the job, but instead it came down to the location of the job and what would happen when she arrived. The stories told to the young brunette was nothing short of uncomfortable for someone who was unreliable with her magic. Not to mention the weapon she carried with her, however that was something that she could use to her advantage so long as she didn't reveal the fiery properties that lied within it. That shouldn't be too hard as Lehanna had not used the weapon for those reasons anyway. Still, the history and even warnings as she left for this trip to Pergrande was nothing to sneeze at. An entire country whom was so opposed to magic that they'd kill the mages within its walls and most likely prevent the entry of outsiders in fear of whatever set them into this iron fist of hatred they felt against mages.
None of this helped her much that she let Kitalpha pick out her outfit again. Granted, this is what she got for taking out a couple of things from that closet of hers after their trip of the Urban Nights... but man was that woman committed to something. Whether that actually be the motherhood issue that she proclaimed when they were getting prepped to go before or not, it wasn't so much her business. It was just nice to rely on someone else after so long even if it was for something seemingly minute. Even then, she can't say that there was much in the way of relying either. Part of it was just enjoying company of someone despite her seeming to be a little less on par to the teen. No matter, it was already done and frankly so long as she had her documentation, it didn't matter to her what she was dressed in or how her hair was done. Paperwork was all that mattered in the long run and the same went for the research that she had been bringing back to them within the messenger bag on the seat beside her. Along with it had been a couple of text books and notebooks for her own entertainment.
Yes, that's right. A bookworm brought school work to entertain herself. As this task had come up, she had to get an excuse from her school in order to fully attend and volunteered to take the weeks worth of workload on the road with her to do. After all, it would take a while to get up and back, so time was something she had an abundance of. A day and a half up and back each left her four days to get the work delivered and frankly, with her coming from a guild of mages, they may make her have an escort to and from her destination to avoid confrontations. A lot of possibilities came with this and that was the concerning part to her. Still, to have them do the work to begin with had meant they were most likely desperate and if she were that kind of person, maybe she would take advantage of that, but leverage should she get into a rather tight squeeze is always something to keep in mind as well.
