The two girls led me to the alley behind the inn where there was no one around.
Err… Is this really an extortion or something? I was only joking earlier…
They stopped when we reached the deepest part of the alley and turned back around to face me.
Ok… The fact that the exit to the alley is behind me and they aren't blocking the way out meant this wasn't a shakedown at least.
How do I know? Let's just say it's from personal experience.
"So… Can I help you with anything?" I asked, trying to sound innocent.
The two girls looked at each other for a moment before nodding and turning back to me.
I was expecting them to do a number of things, even actually trying to shake me down, but I certainly wasn't prepared to see them suddenly fall on the ground to prostrate themselves to me.
"Aster!! Please teach us!!"
"Teach us Iatromancy, please!!"
…
What the heck?
