Arthur didn't want the other players to see him and Val together, and associate him with the idea of being a player.
'Though they'll soon learn that they can also party up with NPCs in some cases.' Arthur thought to himself.
Thankfully it was getting darker and most players were going to log out soon enough. Their numbers were already low since this was the first batch and it would take time for more of them to arrive here.
"This way," Upon entering the guild, Arthur dragged Val to another area.
"Where are we going? The desk is on the right." Val was confused. "Are we not submitting the job?" she asked.
"We are, just not to the desk." Arthur said. "Follow me." He ordered.
Val decided to go along and soon they were standing at the back of the guild. Two large doors blocked their way and looked a bit imposing.
"Isn't this…" Val recognized them and knew who stayed behind them.
