"I like the way you think Argos. As well as your spirit. You'll get far if not at least remain happy so long as you keep your head straight, and for that I admire you."

"Probably not, which is why they hire strong adventurers to fight for them. The pay can be very good too. Just a thought."

Patting her head.

"I prefer being independent myself."

"Hmm..."

"The stronger you are, the more rulers will wanna pay you to say that you'll back them up in a fight."

"Famous heroes typically have political power. Especially depending on their own power. Nations tend to recruit them as allies as a safety precaution to persuade other nations not to wage war against them."

"An entropic swordswoman..."

Rubbing his chin in deep reflection

"Now ain't that ringing bells."

"Valid reasons." He nods along

"Wealth and status are useful. I certainly wouldn't mind having a bit more political presence in this time period."

William followed her on her quest to the goblin cave.

"So why's a lovely lass like yourself doing work like this?"

"Agreed."

He bows his head and approaches her.

"My name is William, my arcane might is yours to command."

"I wish I could oblige you Captain, but this spear is precious to me, and I will not be parted from it."

"If you wish, I'll only utilize its function as a focus. Is that fair?"

"Hehehe...I appreciate the opportunity to prove my worth."

He produces a big spear and turns it upside down. If not for the large blade, it would unmistakably appear as a wizard staff due to the glowing adornment on the butt end.

"Don't think about it too much."

"I'll try not to disappoint you, Captain."

"So...what's our first mission?"

"Elemental and Space/Time."

"And please, call me William."

He puts a hand over his heart and nods his head.

"You lead, I'll follow."

"I know a magic trick or two." He smiles humbly.

Aside from his lack of armor, he doesn't appear to be a mage.

Scruffy man in the corner appears

To slowly revitalize this account, small post to get some lore and trivia about Argos. Will probably go through these slowly throughout the week

♡ = SFW fact

He sees no problem with this.

He's happy to be her big hunky suboordinate.

"Do I look like a vagrant?"

He pauses

"Don't answer that..."

"Bakery sounds nice. Please, lead the way. It'll be my treat."

He'd smile warmly in return.

"Well now I'm hungry...what's good to eat around here?"

"It's all a balancing act... Have a veggie burger here, a meatlover's pizza there. Buy bigger clothes if you have to. Lucky for you, comfy clothes are very roomy.

"I'm not saying you have to give up good food. Just eat in moderation. Reward yourself for hardwork, but don't splurge."

+cut back a little on the sweets. If you'd like, I can whip up some healthier alternatives to get you started.

Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with this bit of squish you got. I'd say it's a healthy amount and not worth fretting over."

"Ow..." he shakes his hand after pulling his finger away.

"Hey now, I meant no disrespect, and it's not the worst advice out there."

He thought to himself a moment on how to remedy the situation.

"What do you feel the problem is then? If you feel as if you're putting on a little too much, just+

"You're a determined young lady, I trust that you'll be able to put your mind to it."

"Besides, nothing a little polymorph spell can't fix."

He gives her a little boop on the nise. She's cute when she pouts.

"Nothing wrong with a healthy layer of fluff for the colder months."

He'd wink to her, giving her squishy bit a little pinch

Her study is time consuming.

But maybe you could distract?

"Evening. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

That is an appropriate response
