A Storm Moves Into Port

The mid-summer's heat glared down the residence of Hibiscus Village, many fanning themselves as they went about their daily activities. Despite the blistering heat, a young ivory haired woman seemed completely unaffected as she walked briskly from her dorm toward the guild hall where she was to meet up with her good friend. In her hands were a total of three objects, in her right hand she carried a small job flyer which detailed a dire situation in the town of Ceder, located on the opposite shore from Akane beach. In her other hand were two boxes wrapped in a red cloth which she had taken the liberty of wrapping around her hand a few times to ensure she wouldn't drop its contents.

She entered the guild hall to see not many people were there, many of them probably having made their way to the beach in hopes of escaping the heat. She quickly located Kalina sitting the table furthest from any windows as the shade was noticeably cooler than sitting directly in the sunlight. She sits the cloth containing the two boxes down on the table before moving to sit across from her, "I brought us some lunch, I'm not much of a cook so it's nothing special, grilled salmon with rice and steamed vegetables," Yukiko said with a bit of cheer in her voice as she took her seat, moving one of the boxes toward her and leaving the other for Kalina.

A warm smile was plastered on her face and aimed at the Chestnut haired woman in front of her, hoping dearly that she would like her cooking after the several burns on her fingers she'd endured to make it. Despite her nearly nonexistent ability to feel heat, she still felt the pain of burns, often making cooking very difficult as she relied heavily on thermometers to tell when things were done. "I looked at the job you told me about, the pirate one." She said as she sat the flyer down on the table, "I'm up for it if you are. I mean, They really seem like they need help and who better than The Raging Storms of Archer's Cross, right? The two of use are more than capable of putting a few pirates in their place." Yukiko said, punching the palm of her other hand.
