While they spoke, Khaine was deep in thought, thinking about the path that lay ahead of them both. Even going for his item first it wasn't going to be an easy one, the game was made to be difficult and to take a while to level, there were many dungeons they would need to do for gear and funds to run their quest on, many areas they would need to explore and lands they would need to cross, mostly on foot. There was a lot to consider, the towns they would visit and stay in, NPC allies they would likely have to make and skills they would need to learn, not just for the classes they were playing but universal skills too. Tracking, cartography, alchemy and herbalism. That reminded him, in order to more easily make money they would need to get professions too, and they were limited in their choices. Each player could only have 2 artisanal professions, and with a wide variety of them they would need to choose the right ones to not only make money on the open market but to service their own gear and needs. Judging from the food they were eating, chef wouldn't be one of the ones they really needed...but would be very appealing anyway, so it might just be worth one of them looking into it. Echo would need to be proficient with cloth materials to make her own gear, and he would need to become a blacksmith in order to craft his own armour and weapons for the both of them. That left them one profession each. Jeweller stood out as one that would get them a lot of work, as did alchemist...so with that in mind, who would become the chef? Things like this were at the forefront of his mind, as well as the route they would take, which dungeons they would likely face and which areas they should visit along the way in order to find the best places to farm materials and funds.
Looking up from his food as she spoke, he smiled warmly at her. At the very least his journey would be a pleasant one with Echo alongside him. Either it was how she reminded him of Makayla or maybe her own playful, even slightly flirty way of speaking to him but his fondness for her was only growing and seeing her vulnerable like she had been the previous night only endeared her to him more. He'd felt protective in a way only his little sister had really had the chance to enjoy in the past, and he had enjoyed holding her in bed. Thinking to how he had woken up though...it was a miracle she hadn't noticed his hardness pressed up against her or his hand on her breast, if they continued to sleep like that it was only a matter of time and while Khaine himself didn't mind, he had to believe that she wasn't quite into him in that way. Not just that, because that was something that could very easily change...but she trusted him. For all his silly comments and flirtations she had decided he was worth putting that trust in and he didn't want to betray that, he refused to do it willingly...but controlling his body while he slept was another matter entirely. "I'm glad you enjoyed it...but..." There was really only one way to deal with it, and that was to come clean, wasn't it? If he told her what had happened it could only go two ways, either she would be angry and that would be that, or more likely, she would surely respect his honesty. "I have a confession to make. Umm...a little later." Looking back down to his food, he had chickened out at the last moment. "Yeah, probably, but I imagine they have like a baseline taste? That's how I'd do it, but who knows? It is amazing how they put this all together though." Nodding along with her assessment of everything that had happened, he found he couldn't agree more. "Yeah, Drealm couldn't really anticipate this, I mean how are you meant to predict a hacking event on this level? It's unprecedented, but they will get hell for it anyway. I hope it doesn't ruin them...oh, you're welcome. I didn't want you to wake up and not know where I was."
Grinning as he finished his meal, he was laughing as she left to go shower. "Yeah, that is too bad...I'll just have to turn around and stare at your breasts instead." While she showered, he gathered his things together, made sure he was stocked up on all the potions and he had levelled all his latest skills since yesterday so he would be ready once she returned, and when she did he was waiting by the door. "So...how much is it going to cost me then?" He paused, knowing damn well he hadn't actually given her a hint as to what he was talking about. "To be your sugar daddy I mean. I'm gonna need a figure here." Leading her out of the room and down to the main lobby, he spoke to the concierge and confirmed the room would be held in their name, Echo's in particular, though they would have to pay for every single night even if they didn't plan to use it. Rolling his eyes, he opened trade and transferred 20,000 of his remaining Crescents to her. "Just pay some in advance, it will be better than worrying about it. See...I knew you were gonna cost me from the moment we met, just like any good sugar baby except without the nudes." Smirking, he led her out of the Onsen and towards the NPC where they would have to turn in their quests from the previous day. The streets themselves seemed a lot less chaotic as people had either left to get their items as quickly as possible, were out in the field levelling or were in bed, only a few players were out at this early hour in the streets and as they approached the NPC, he looked down at her sheepishly. "So...I know you threatened to take back the good friend request and I don't really want you to...but...when I woke up this morning..." He sighed...this was harder to get out than he thought it would be, and in the end he just decided to deal with it, rip the band-aid off. "My hand was on your breast...and...well. I was excited, from our position I think." He didn't even look at her as he turned in his quest and the experience rushed into him, levelling him up again in the process. "I really didn't do it on purpose I swear, I wasn't trying to grope you or anything and you were still asleep, I just...I don't wanna start off without telling you that it happened...and that I'm sorry." After all the blushing she had done, it was his turn, just slightly. He wasn't ashamed of touching her, or even of enjoying it, it was more the admission, like he was some naughty schoolboy admitting he had cheated on his test. "This way...if we are going to the mirrored desert we should head to Calibaster first, it's to the south at the foot of the mountains. Small village, very ninja themed, though we should maybe pick up our professions first. Any idea what you're going for? I was thinking blacksmith and jeweller myself." He was already leading her towards the artisan hub, one of which would be found in every major city. "That, and I should probably take up mining to get the ore and raw materials I'm gonna need."
