QUILL

"What do you want to do first?" he asked his now-sober partner. It was difficult not to tease the heck out of her over last night, but he would wait until later. He could see how embarrassed she was and didn't want to hurt her feelings.

She touched her chin in thought, then lit up with an idea. "Hmm. Oh! We should read that guide we bought. The more we learn, the better."

"The...guide we forgot in the guild last night."

"Oh." She blushed, looking cute. "Sorry."

He waved her apology off as unnecessary.

They rushed across the street and into the guild. Lucky for them, the staff had collected their lost book and, when asked, returned it. They exited the guild and returned to the bright morning sunshine. Finding a patch of grass under a tree, they sat down side-by-side, hips touching, to have a read.

Quill couldn't tell whether being this close to her and having their hips touch was more exciting or comfortable. Either way, it felt good. He pointed at a page on classes. "As she said yesterday, it looks like we gain stuff in stages: choosing class at level five, and major skills at ten, twenty, and so forth."

Jane ran her finger down the side of the table with the classes listed. "I'm really, really glad we got this before we chose our classes. There's a lot more info here than in the plaza."

"Yeah. Super lucky," he readily agreed. This became even more true once they saw that some of the classes were definitely unfinished.
