4 Silver Rank (1/2)
”Okay, master,” She got out of bed, she had removed her shirt, Gold blushed beneath his mask and turned his eyes away from her nearly naked body, ”Let me get dress, please,” She got dressed quickly and put on her collar and gave him the chain. He grabbed it and walked out of the room. He waved at the owner of the inn and they walked out. The streets were empty. He walked with her next to him, on all fours, towards the Guild building. The door was open and he entered. The receptionist bowed her head when she saw him.
”Good morning, how can I help you?”
”I wanted to see if there was a quest for a party of two,” Gold said as he walked to the counter with the chain in his hand, ”Maybe something with guarding or similar.”
”Let me see,” She noticed the bronze plate on Gold's robe, ”Well, before I do anything,” She reached in one of the drawers, ”Here, two silver plates, I will take those bronze ones back.”
”But, what did we do to deserve these?” He said trying to act humble, ”I only did one quest, and nothing else.”
”You save Lady Liz, you save our village and you ask for nothing from us,” She said, ”We decided to give you these, since you have to be recommended, you received a town's recommendation.”
”Thank you,” He said as he replaced his plate, ”Miia, stand up,” Miia rose to her feet and he replaced the plate on her shirt and handed both back to the receptionist, Miia sat down once again, ”Now, is there a quest for a silver party of two?”
”So let me see,” She turned around and looked at a bulletin board that was covered with papers, ”Let's see here,” She pulled one down, ”There is a quest that was submitted recently, to help deal with a vampire problem in a town not far from here, but no one was in measures of taking on the quest, so maybe you two could take it?”
”Yes, gladly, how much does it pay?” Gold asked, ”And where is this town?”
”It would be 50 silver coins and for the location, I think,” She turned around and searched through a bunch of maps, ”I think I have a map, here you go,” She unrolled it, ”The town is there so about a day's worth of walking.”
”Can I borrow the map?” He said as she rolled the map, ”I don't have one.”
”Of course, of course, here you go,” She handed him the rolled map, ”So I assume you accept, here, you will need this,” She handed them a small letter with the message from the town, ”Show it to them and they should let you in and tell you about the problem.”
”Thank you,” He said as he walked to the door with Miia walking by his side, ”Have a good day.”
”Bye!” The streets were still empty. Gold lead the path and began walking towards the northern exit of the town. The path was a simple dirt path that climbed a small hill and then descended into a valley. Gold knelt down and removed Miia's collar. She smiled at him and began talking.
”Master, do you like me?”
”Like you? In what way? As a follower or do I like as in love?”
”Whatever you think, master,” She sighed. He stopped walking and lowered himself and gently lifted her head with his hand. She blushed and had wide eyes as he looked at her, ”M-master?”
”Then I like you, yeah, I like you,” He said nodding his head, ”You know that you can walk like humans, you don't have to be on all fours,” He laughed and began walking again, ”You aren't a dog.”
”O-okay master,” She stammered as she got up and ran to catch up, ”What are we going to do in the town, master?”
”Kill some vampires I assume, maybe I can let you have some fun,” She looked at him cheerfully, ”As in killing vampires,” She sighed. He shook his head and they continued to walk. ”Tell me how long you were here before I came?”
”Um, I think 12 winters, master,” She said as they walked, ”I missed you so much, I am sorry for not staying with you, I am sorry I left you, I am sorry, I am sorry, master, I missed you,” He placed his hand on her head and rubbed it, ”I love it when you do that, master.”
