Wendy beams up at you with a bright smile. You had just completed a job together, very efficiently thanks to how well the pair of you work together.

“Well done, Wendy,” you pat her on the head, returning her smile. “You’re getting stronger.”

Wendy giggles. “Thank you,” there’s a small flush to her cheeks. “Can we walk around town before we go home? I wanna buy some souvenirs for the rest of the guild.”

She’s so sweet. You vowed to protect her when she joined, and that’s what you’ll do.
