Meanwhile, at the main lobby of the guild, Oriana sat down at an empty table and watched its members enter and exit the building. She said nothing as the people passed by. There were some states toward her, but that didn't stop Oriana from people watching. She kept getting stares from others, though. "Is something wrong with me?" Oriana asked.
John Liew smirked. "Well, we are outsiders in this place. You, a paladin who doesn't know magic and me, a soldier who can't swordfight. We're weird to the rest of them and that's totally understandable. Give it time, I'm sure we'll acclimate to this world and they'll adjust to us."
"That is true," Oriana replied thoughtfully. "You're right. Giving them time to adjust to us seems reasonable enough." She looked around and signaled for John L to sit with her. "Still, it is a nice place. Wish they had something like there where I'm from," she said with a sigh.
John L sat down next to Oriana and started to relax. It had been a stressful day for him and his R n R had been postponed when he suddenly wound up here right after booking out from camp.
"W-well...no one is powerful enough to attack Alfrueta's headquarter guild, e-especially at its peak hour" Arisa said, "Though...I'm worry about those two's carefree personalities."
"Well for living here for several years, I don't think Alfrueta's population will adjust easily to heroes, especially when you are wearing modern military uniform." Alisa said to John L and Oriana from behind them. She had black cat-panther ears on her head that twitched, and her black tail swaying back and forth before straightening up. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Her clothes were quite high level gears and fitted both her magic and combat skills. One decorated magic sword on each side of her waist. She was a bit young and immature of around 20ish. Young face.

John turned around at the mention of modern military uniforms. "Well, I don't have a change of time-appropriate clothes..." he said slowly.
Oriana jumped. "GAH!" she shrieked. "You scared me!" She took a few deep breaths and turned to the woman. "Well, that makes me feel a bit better, despite the fact that I'm not that modern." She sighed a bit, though. "If they are apprehensive about us, then why are we even here? We are here for a reason, are we not? I understand that they may not like us at first, but it would be nice to...you know, get to know everyone a bit and get a feel of what's going on," Oriana stated with patience yet anger in her voice. She sort of knew that it wasn't going to be easy. All she wanted was respect and appreciation.
"..They didn't explain them to you huh?" Alisa said as she took a sigh, "You see. There was a war with the demi-humans and the humans decades ago. Mast is a human nation who once used heroes against the Alfrueta. So there are still some feelings left from that war. The recent batch of heroes are already dead or no longer heroes. ...And I'm one of them."
Oriana's jaw dropped at what she just heard. "Wait...a war? Wha...?" She could not process what she heard from Alisa. "What you're saying is that...um, there was a war, and that's why people are staring at us?" Oriana sighed. "I guess that makes sense." She then tilted her head in confusion. "How are you no longer a hero? Surely your skills can still make you a hero."
John took a deep breath.
"Alright then. Il go find them. When I do il return here and we can teleport out if here."
He looked at Angelo and nodded
He left the group without second thought and started combing through the guild.
He cleared the top floor first before moving downstairs. When he got down he saw Alisa speaking with them. John felt at ease.
"They're ok." He thought to himself.
John started getting cold looks from those around him. He realised his Royal broach was still on from when he left the palace.
(A special Royal broach worn on the breastplate of the kings royal guard. It's a gold circle with the kings crest in the middle)
John quickly took it off and held it in his hand so nobody could see it or I.D. him as someone who is close to the royal family that caused a war between humans and demi human's.
He walked down the to the main entrance of the guild and started talking with John L, Orianna and Alisa.
"Don't mean to interrupt but it's rather important if you two follow me back to the confidence room we were just in. Il explain when we are back there."

Oriana turned around and saw John H approaching them. She nodded and sighed. "All right. It'll give me a clear explanation as to what's happening," she responded. She glared at him for not explaining what was going on, but her glare softened as he started talking. Oriana was not someone to left out in the dark in situations like that. "Show us the way," she told John H as she sighed for a second time that day.
Kris had wandered off, likely to see what other kinds of quests they might get into, do some kinds of chores, see if anyone needed healing anywhere nearby or just talking someone's ear off.
The elf waved to the new members, and Alisa and John. "Learned anything?" she asked Oriana, her tone as polite and cheerful as ever. Hearing John Liew say he didn't have a change of clothes, she said, "You might be able to earn or borrow money from the guild, if you feel your attire isn't appropriate for the climate or place."
"Taking them somewhere to teach them something?" the cleric asked of John Halthorn, "let me know if you need help with anything!" she told them. "If I can't figure it out . . . I'll bother someone else until they do."

OOC
Sorry that took so long :x
Oriana nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I learned a bit. It makes me feel a bit better. Thank you," she responded politely. She felt a bit relieved at the fact that there was more to the story than she originally heard, but Oriana wished she had known about this when she first arrived. "I am glad that I can learn all that I can," Oriana told Kris.
John glanced at Kris.
"I need you to come with me too. I need everyone back in the conference room right away."
"It'd be best if we all sat and talked in Angelos guild. Not this one. Guilds may have good people. However even good people keep grudges."
He looked at Kris, John L and Orianna.
"Let's go?" He asked.

"Then, I can take us there. It is best if I come along since I have business at the guild" Alisa said
Kris walked along with them to the conference room, a little confused and concerned when John Halthorn spoke of how even good people kept grudges. Was he worried that someone was listening in on them? The elf decided to bring it up whenever they were assured of their privacy.
Wondering just what had happened, she followed them. Replying to Oriana, "That's a very good attitude to have. I'm sure it's been a terrible shock for you, it takes inner strength to handle something like this."

Oriana nodded. "Indeed, it was a shock, but I'll be okay. I've handled worse," she responded to Kris. She would rather not talk about what had happened in her past, but it didn't deter her from any other tasks or hobbies she had. Oriana smiled, though, knowing that everything would be okay in the end. She just had to breathe for a bit and relax.
