Wait and see
The next day, Rain showed up early, as usual, at the entrance of the guild and presented himself to Karla while he was carrying a small backpack. The mission was going to take a few days, so he had to be prepared.
"Wait here for a while. They should be finishing their preparations soon enough," Karla said.
Since the group was informed on the previous day, it made sense that they would need some extra time for the job. In any case, over the course of the week, Rain had the chance to see a bunch of kids around Branden's age working for the organization. There were around thirty of them, and all of them worked in groups. Rain was the only kid who worked solo; he was also the only one of the kids who chose the jobs that paid more instead of the most exciting ones that also would improve one's reputation.
"They are here. Come to introduce yourself," Karla said.
