Ellaria shook her head and turned down the street. Fey hurried after her. Flora waved her hand at Vivi and both the gnome and fox girl floated down the street after them.

Fey was suddenly very aware that she was no longer the attention magnet of the group as gasps and chatter and people began to quickly follow them, pointing and remarking at Flora and Vivi. It wasn't fair, she should be the one who- wait. Fey checked herself. Was she jealous? She bit her lip.

A group of Lupine kids began following their wake, round eyed and staring, and then as though to see what the reaction would be, they started throwing small stones at the bellies of the two girls. Flora flicked her finger and the stones were sent back the way they had come causing the kids to yelp and run away laughing.

Fey was happy that at least she wasn't being harassed by species in heat. Those who were were too distracted by Vivi and Flora and weren't near her for long enough to notice their attraction to her. Not having a giant throbbing boner helped too.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the guild. They had an entourage with them by this point, various townspeople who had decided that the band was to be the day's entertainment. In a town far from any city like this entertainment was hard to come by and valued highly.

Flora reached out a hand to rip down the wall of the guild but Ellaria slapped her belly before she could begin, a huge ripple sent over her smooth skin sending it jiggling and sloshing hypnotically.

"No Flora. Stay. Behave."

The gnome pouted and crossed her arms but remained where she was.

Fey and Ella entered the AG and quickly found the job board. The warning about thieves they had left was still there and when Fey got closer she saw someone had added a note to the paper. It read: thankyou.

"Hrmm. Well at least some good came of that whole disaster. Now what kind of job should we do?"

Fey looked over the board. Various papers we tacked to it with job descriptions and rewards.

"Ogres? No, too risky. Oh there's a pack of royal slimes haunting the forest. Oh, that reward is terrible though."

"What about this one?"

Fey picked out a job that had a crude picture of a goblin's face on it. Ellaria tried to peer at it and realised Fey was too tall up for her to see so she plucked it from her hands.

"Wow this reward... this could work. Why is it so much? Oh. damn it."

"What?"

"It's not just goblins, it's hobgoblins. Much more problematic."

"We can handle it though right?"

"I think so. We're bronze plate, but we're really more like silver plate in a fight, but you know, the AG expects so many hoops to be jumped through before being ranked up. Hmm."

She tapped the paper with her finger.

"You know this might be enough to push us over the edge to silver if I can swing a few things."

"That's good right?"

"Yup. More guild support and access to special private jobs they don't put up on the boards."

"We should definitely do that then, it will be like fluffing two tails with one comb."

Ellaria nodded her agreement and strode over to the main desk where the same stoney-faced clerk from last time was watching them.

"Hello. One job please," said Ellaria putting the paper down on the desk.

The clerk raised an eyebrow as she pulled the paper across and peered at it.

"Plate?"

Ellaria produced the bronze metal plate from her dimensional bag. It was engraved with the AG's symbol and various references to the Queen.

"Hmm. This is fine. This job is likely above your band's skill level but I'm not going to stop you."

"Our skill level is none of your concern clerk, register us as doing the damn job and be done with it."

A slightly annoyed look crossed the clerk's face and she opened her mouth to reply when something crashed into the entrance behind them.

Fey turned to see Vivi jammed halfway through the double door, stuck in place by her own cum filled stomach.

"Hey fuck you clerk! You want proof of our ability then I'll show you! Fight me, one on one me, right now!"

Fey looked back to see the clerk with her mouth open limp, a confused look on her face.

"Uhm. Wh-what is wrong with that vulpine?"

"Ignore her. She's not important."

The clerk turned to her and blinked. "She's the size of a cartload of hay!"

"Yes and that's not important. Register Magic Mog as doing the job." A spark flew from Ellaria's hair and snapped against the clerk's nose causing her to flinch.

The clerk seemed to realize that Ellaria was getting pretty irritated and that Ellaria was actually an elf and not to be crossed. She quickly scribbled something on the paper.

"Good."

Ellaria swept around and marched toward Vivi who was jammed in the door. The fox girl made scared eyes as the elf strode close and then lifted her boot into the air and booted the fox girl hard. Vivi yelped and went rolling backwards into the street.

The crowd gawped at the rolling fox girl, looking from between the elf stomping out of the guild and the white sphere. Fey hurried out behind her.

Ellaria stopped on the wooden decking and looked up at Flora who was lazily floating in the air.

The crowd held their breath and watched as the elf paused. What would this strange leader of the orbs do next? What drama would come next to their small town?

"We're going after a goblin tribe led by hobgoblins that's been targeting the locals."

The crowd cheered! This sounded good, great even!

Ellaria blinked at the crowd, what the hell were they cheering for?

She scowled at them and stepped from the decking and onto the street. Flora gestured at Vivi and she floated up into the air and followed after.
