Kerubi: I can't believe I accepted this...

Robert: Cheer up lass, it won't be so bad!

The two were walking through town, making their way to the center where a large tavern sat. As they passed by, Kerubi noticed a few things.

Kerubi: Why is everyone so short?

Robert: They aren't short, you an' I are just tall

Kerubi: Really? How tall are you?

Robert: 203 centimeters

Kerubi: He's that tall?! And i'm just 5 centimeters shorter than him!...Wait, they use centimeters too, so that makes my life easier

She looked around, watching all of the happy faces as they passed by.

Kerubi: However, i'm a giant amongst women

Kerubi: Another question

Robert: Yes?

Kerubi: Where are we headed?

Robert: To the Guild hall of course!

...

Kerubi: The what?

Robert: You know, adventurers? Quests? Beer?

Kerubi: I get that, just...I didn't expect that response

Kerubi: A guild hall? I can't remember myself from the other world, but I remember everything I did. This will probably be a place full of fighters and warriors that take requests and missions to deal with problems and assist the people

Kerubi smiled, her razor sharp teeth went unnoticed by everybody.

Kerubi: This'll be fun~

Robert: Alright, we're here!

The two stood in front of the moderately sized door, which was about twice the size of them.

Robert: Now then, when we get inside, you can relax while I go talk to the Princess

He opened the door, but looked back to Kerubi.

Robert: Try to be friendly, ok Lass?

Kerubi:*smiles* Of course, why wouldn't I be?

Robert: Haha! Just makin sure

She stepped in after him, as the chatter of the hall filled her ears, almost to an uncomfortable level.

Robert: Ok, I'll be back to bring you to the Princess, you socialize down her got it?

Kerubi: Uhh...loud and clear sir

Robert: Ahh stop with the sir, as your new master, I demand you just call me by name!

Kerubi:...Ok then Robert

Robert:*smiles* Welp, I'm off!

He walked off to another room, leaving Kerubi alone in the massive room, where many people were staring at her.

...

Kerubi: I can tell I was introverted in my past life

Kerubi: Umm, hello?

A few seconds after that, the many patrons smiled and responded in kind.

?: Pleasure to have you here missy!

?2: You buddyn' with sir Darrows huh?

Kerubi: I am...I'm apparently his new apprentice

?2: Apprentice?! You're one lucky gal to be working with him!
