"Do you still think my job is fancy?" Rose asked, chuckling lightly despite everything. This was, broadly speaking, a normal day for her. She didn't always get into back ally fights, and there were days--weeks, even--where she didn't battle anyone at all, but if you were to look at her year, and calculate what an 'average' day looked like, it was something like this. It was the nature of her work--she would be sent into old ruins taken over by bandit clans, or she would be sent into a coven of witches. Not the cool 'love the earth, reject societal norms' kind of witches, the kind who actually did have malicious intent, or she would be sent off into some other catastrophe.
She took a sip of water, not bothering to wipe off the mouth piece--disease couldn't pass from humans to elves anyway--and followed him to the mage's door. It was simple and unadorned, and not one she would have thought to knock on. Not because of the area, or because it seemed simple, but because there was nothing indicating the inhabitant knew anything about the arcane (although, to be fair, there was nothing suggesting they didn't, either), so if she came to this place at all, without being directed, it would be a simple coincidence.
After confirming they were outside the right place, Rose knocked on the door and waited for a few moments. When nobody answered, she knocked and waited again. After the third time, she turned the door handle, and pushed open the door with a low, quiet creak.
