Didn't I have a borrowed book I finished last night and need to return today? Better do that.

I think I have some minor errand to run for father, the sort of thing he forgets about on his own. What was it? Oh, right, I have to go pay the rent.

There was also my chores here in the restaurant. I can't forget those, dad needs the help.

Mentally go over your skills and profession.

get dressed and get breakfast. food is an important first step.

Better not forget my routine boob check.

> How will you spend this morning?
Doing nothing. Let's hope that nothing happens.

5 more minutes... make it 50.

Inspect your home for signs that he had a 'good idea' that's going to just ruin your day.

Get up, eat, [strike]go to the millennial fair[/strike], finish waking up, see if anything interesting is going on.

You mentally went over today's schedule and your current skillset:

Basic combat and sword skills
Basic life skills
Basic communication skills

You are, however, a bit of an envious jerk when it comes to both your father's and sister's cooking skills.

Food sounds good right now.

Your hallway seems pretty clear, your father is not completely incompetent. Just aging. And no sign of him downstairs.

"Morning, Ainle."

"Kiley. Where's dad?"

"He got a letter from the guild and had to go right away."

So it looks like you're planning to be a warrior. That's pretty cool, how is the sexism in this society?

Let's go chop some wood with a sowrd or something, actually, let's just go kill something and get your father/sister to go and cook it. You've just help support your family for the first time, definitely something to be proud about. Nothing to be jealous about. You just helped THEM cook by fetching them food...

Well first, ask if it's okay to go out and get dinner for them. I mean they might have some delicious meal already planned. Then we'll just go out and hunt for sport.

>>417201
jumped the gun a little there sport.

put like 1/2 2/2 in the subject so people know it's a multi-post update

sigh and get some food. ask what she was planning to do today.

What guild does she mean? Thieves' Guild? Adventurer's Guild? Mage's Guild?

You sighed and sat down to eat, considering on asking what she was going to do for her day. But you hold it off.

>"Which guild, mage, adventurer, thief~?"

"Knights, smartass."

You chuckled with your mouth full of bacon while she gives you a nasty look. Well it's not nasty, just dirty. In between dusty and dirty.

"He wouldn't tell me why he had to go so soon, but I assume it's important. And NO, don't meddle, little brother! You've got both of us in trouble the last time."

>"Aww, come on-"

"No!"

now INCEST!


kidding, jeez.
now ask her if anything is going on today.

No. I don't care about what happened last time, I don't want to know more about your family. Finish your breakfast and go to the Cooks' Guild.

Take your time eating, consider getting a haircut, see what your friends are up to?

You're eighteen. You've got stuff to do. Any pretty girls you're not related to you can show off for?

OP do you run a web comic or something? your art style seems very familiar to me

You consider NOT cutting your hair, keeping your braid. You also consider growing a manly beard and braid that as well.

AINLE, THE BRAID KNIGHT

Sounds pretty cool. You should probably get going.

No, I don't do a webcomic.

go to PLACE. flirt with all the girls.

Or do that hunting thing

You'd answer the door, but your sister already has it occupied. Instead, you go through the back to reach to PLACE.

Any PLACE in Brosna with girls.

Could be the grocer, tailor, alchemist, or the market in general.

However, do NOT go to the Library. Brenda has a hard time shutting up. Ever.

could it possibly be she talks to because she likes you but can't say it so she says everything else?

Chicks are always at the tailor.
But the ones who talk a lot know how to make boys shut up and NOT just through talking a lot if you know what I am saying.

Is she just a babbler or is she smart? Smart and talks a lot is worth listening to, especially if she's hot. On the other hand, the alchemist may be worth checking out. Fair fights are for suckers. Plus, if the alchemist or the apprentice is a girl... Smart, useful to know, and will know how to not get pregnant. All good qualities.

Alchemist's sounds like an interesting place to kill time. Might have some new crazy thing in stock. Or some kind of beard growing rub. Get that double braid look on.

"What can I help you with, Ainle?"

"Just sort of browsing. Anything new in stock?"

Well, you're pretty sure you're going to be sent to the knights guild, and you wondered if it was possible for you to learn how to make a few tricks to help you survive and thrive?.. For instance, you're gonna get a LOT of aches bruises, if not worse.

sneak up on him and then yell hello into his ear.

Leprechauns... They used to tell us stories about them when we were kids. I guess it was supposed to teach us something about keeping out rooms cleaned and organized. Or was it something else..? I can't remember, it's been a long time.

Our parents told us that Leprechauns always snuck into homes of any kind, and simply steal away anything made of gold and gem, hiding it in their caves. Dad told me and Kiley that at the end of each rainbow; It wasn't a pot of gold. It was a cave of gold: The leprechaun cave, which is connected to an even bigger cave.

Shima kept telling us that he see's leprechauns alot. Sometimes he nearly catches them or kills them.
I'm not too worried about them.

Ask the girl for some cabbage, cookies, crumpets, donuts, and honey. Maybe pick up a little trim.
