( Idol / Cloaked )
The edge of a sword held ready near her abdomen and the first words out of his mouth was criticism for trusting a random player? Ria’s smile did not change or falter, and neither did her body or her stance. She was still ready to jump away from him if necessary, but it would be pointless to respond to such a comment. She would simply let the suggestion fade away. This stranger was right about a possible stalker being more dangerous than him. Perhaps he was even right about the risks of walking up to a stranger. It didn’t really matter now though. I mean, with an introductory sentence like that, Ria seriously doubted he was actually going to be a threat to her. It was more likely for someone dangerous to not say something that might put Ria on guard. Not that Ria suddenly trusted this stranger. Not at all. If Ria had even the slightest suspicion about this man, she would be gone without a shred of hesitation.
Seeing the man put his weapon away and sigh did help ease her mind, but her outward appearance would not reflect this. She would just appear to be casual and happy, not physically appearing to have been worried at all. Sure she thought she was being followed just now, but finding someone else would theoretically make her relax, and this stranger really didn’t do anything threatening, so why would her idol mask feel threatened? The feeling of being scolded would actually make “idol Ria” feel more at home.
"450 Col, paid up front. That will get you an escort back to town. Otherwise you're on your own."
Ria’s smile immediately turned into a mouth gaping open with an expression like someone had just said something offensive and almost painful. She almost lashed the proposal straight to the ground, knowing very well that was overpriced for someone of her level to afford, but she visibly caught herself from speaking and held that grumpy expression for a moment while thinking. Honestly, how would he know she’s only level 2 anyhow? And Even though Ria was acting shocked, it was normal for people to start at a higher price than usual if they thought they had an advantage on the situation. It’s just good business. Ria would do it too if she was trying to sell information to people she thought desperately wanted it.
Another playful smirk took over Ria’s expression, “I have a fun idea that I bet you’ll like a lot more, since it would mean giving you even more money than that just in the next half hour.” She paused for a moment just to smile at him then continued with her explanation, “The town is actually pretty close. It would not take us very long to walk there. Let’s pretend for a moment that there is no one following me, and there are no monsters on the way to the town. I will pay you right this second, 200 Col just for simply walking me to the town. Just walking. It would be the easiest 200 Col you’ve probably ever made in this game. Now there is of course the risk that someone could be following me. And I’ll be honest, I might have just been seeing things. I’m just skittish like that. Just the fact that you are walking with me would likely keep away any killers or thieves. Easier to just wait till I’m alone again or change targets. Now, if we do get attacked by a player, ambushed by a player, or a player tries to steal something from us, then if I live through the event with nothing getting stolen from me, then I will give you every last coin I have. That would be a total of 472 Col in your pocket. That’s even more than what you are asking for. If no other player disturbs our short trip, it will still be the easiest 200 Col you’ve ever made. Now here’s the really fun part that I think you will like. You know as well as I that between here and the town, there will be nothing but level 1 mobs that both of us should be able to kill in a single swipe since they get easier and easier to kill as you get closer to the town. You wouldn’t even have to lift a finger while walking me back, I could take care of all the monsters for you. But where’s the fun in that right? Heh. So what I propose is after I give you the 200 Col right now for walking payment, we then have a little competition. I may not be as strong as you I’m sure, but I’m pretty fast. And I bet you that I can kill those little mobs faster than you since they will all be one hit. I will use my wakizashi, and you may use your sword or a similar close ranged weapon. We will head straight for the town with no detours, and for each monster that pops into our path or tries to attack us, I will have a mini race with you to be the first one to kill the mob. When we reach the town I will give you 10 Col for every low level mob we naturally stumble across that you can killed before me, until I run out of money that is. So basically you get 200 Col for walking a short distance, we can have fun competing to kill low level mobs on the way back to town, and I will give you every coin I have if you do end being my knight in shining armor.” Ria leaned even closer to him while still playfully smirking at him, “Now doesn’t that sound like a lot of fun? You do find easy money fun right?”
