Aayla slowly stirred from her sleep, drawing the blankets closer to her face as she move, blocking out the sun that was creeping in from behind closed curtains. She gave a soft grumble at the light as she curled into the comfort of her pillow. It had been so long since she had slept in a real bed, with a real blanket, a real pillow and a private space of her own. She slowly opened up her eyes, taking one gentle breath after another as she looked around the very plain room. There was nothing but a single dresser and the double bed she was currently sleeping on. Apparently this was a room available to members of the guild who desired to stay close to the guild, and not rent out an apartment of their own on the ground.
Slowly, she pushed herself up to a seating position, then pushed herself out of bed, stretching her arms wide above her head and wincing as she heard the light cracks and pops. For all the rest she had gotten... she was still sore. Her feet were still cut up, even though they were covered in little scabs. Otherwise, she had been cleaned up very well, leaving only light marks and the old scars that were already littering her body. She looked down at her attire and sighed lightly. She did like this dress, even though she stole it. It fit her well, let her move with ease and wasn't in the way. Now it was cut up and looked as though she might of taken it out of a trash bin. She sighed and reached up to rent her right hand on the necklace around her neck.
"Mom...Dad... I made it out of there... I hope Sabertooth really is what you said it was dad...I want to be safe here...I want to get stronger... like you..."
She whispered softly, almost as if she was praying to the jewel. Finally she shook her head and took a deep breath.
"If I'm going to be a Sabertooth Wizard... I have to get stronger! but first I think I need clothes... and... I have no money..."
Another groan escaped her lips as determination started to set into her mind. This was it! She was going to have to take an easy job and make money for new clothes! Her dad mentionned they had a board with plenty of jobs!
"Right... Come on Zinny."
She stated as she went over to the dresser and peered into one of the open drawers. There lay a pale blue snake, resting in a cup of salty water she had set up for her the night before. Zenny was the small snake...ish thing she had made friends with at the beach. She had some strange features on her that gave her the impression she was a bit more than a snake, but she would figure that out another time. She reached in and picked the snake up gently out of the drawer and let the creature slither her way around her arm, it's small head resting on Aayla's shoulder.
With that, she took one more deep breath to fuel her sudden found confidence and walked out of the room. REady to head straight to the job board and pick up something that would help her make money.
However, as she approached the main hall her confidence started to slide away, her stride slowing down as she began to bite her lower lip nervously. Maybe she could make it to the job board without being seen...
