Managing Expectations

( Cervantez, Luke, and Amanda's POV )

Cervantez felt a mix of delight and concern at Amanda's sudden arrival at the DarkSky Camp in Silverpine Barony. While he was happy to have her there, her unexpected arrival ahead of schedule posed a unique challenge for him.

According to Cervantez's plans, Amanda was supposed to absorb as much knowledge as possible from the old Granny before moving to the guild. However, with Granny kicking her out ahead of schedule, Cervantez was left with no choice but to take Amanda in ahead of the expected date.

"Look, of course, the DarkSky guild is your home, and we did intend for you to come here eventually. However, at this moment, the guild doesn't have a forging room ready for you yet. So, while you're welcome to stay here, you will have to be patient for your own Smithy," Cervantez explained, trying to manage Amanda's expectations.
