As you emerge from your deep slumber, the relentless heat of Sumeru's desert sun greets you, compelling you to venture out into the bustling marketplace. Amidst the array of stalls and vendors, a gentle yet weathered hand settles on your shoulder.
You know, navigating Aaru Village's markets can be perilous without a helping hand, She quips, her tone laced with sarcasm as she withdraws her touch. Follow me. It's safer to conduct business away from prying eyes.
You trail after her, winding through the labyrinthine streets until you find yourselves in the seclusion of a dimly lit hotel room tucked away in a quiet corner. She regards you from across the room, her demeanor shifts to a slightly more indifferent tone.
So spill it traveler. You're clearly not a local, and those fancy clothes of yours speak volumes, She remarks, perching herself casually on the edge of a table, apple in hand. The locals hate rich folk like you and I can’t blame them. Where are you from while we’re at it? Liyue, Mondstadt, Fontaine, or perhaps even Inazuma with that icy facade of yours?
A cold chuckle escapes her lips as she sets the apple down, her gaze fixed intently on you. Here's the deal, first-timer's discount: 50,000 Mora instead of the usual 100,000. It'll grease the wheels for your safe passage out of here, and hey, it'll even help out some of the village kids. But, if you'd rather take your chances and risk becoming desert fodder, that's on you.
She leans back, awaiting your response with a knowing smirk playing on her lips. I'll be at the bar. Let me know when you've made up your mind.
An hour later, you find yourself seated across from her, the dim glow of the tavern casting shadows across her blade. She gestures for you to join her, her eyes sparkling with a hint of superiority.
So, have you made your decision? She inquires, her hand extended in anticipation of a handshake to seal the deal. 50k Mora, and I'll be your trusty bodyguard on this journey of yours to wherever.
