(Lol, that's perfectly alright! Eden does look younger than she actually is, so she would most likely get mistaken for a kid fairly often haha)

Eden's look of excitement at the thought of adventure soon turned to one of slight hurt at what the other person she had approached said. A bit quietly, she responded "Sorry... just forget I said anything then... I just wanted to see if I could have a chance to travel the world and help people like my mom used to do... I didn't even mind the risk coming with it..." Her voice was sincere and she started to walk away, her spirit much lower now. Despite being snappy and a bit mischievous, she did get discouraged when it seemed someone was trying to push her away from her dream. That didn't stop her from trying to find other ways to fulfill it, however. Her brother walked with her. They could tell when they were just bothering a person. They didn't want to seem like a burden.
It had been quite some time since I had been delivered the letter and rudely interrupted, so there should be at least one other person who got the letter in the city by now. So, I pack up my things and leave them hidden under a bush, so no one takes them, and I don't have to carry anything around. I then walk into the city, this time exploring not for vantage points to watch a target, but for interesting shops, or somewhere to get food on my way to the palace. "If I'm here, I might as well enjoy myself."
Efrier sighed heavily. How did this girl get so upset from simply being told to be polite? She felt like she was being guilt tripped with all this "Wah I just wanted to help why would you send me away" nonsense. Guilt tripping under the guise of innocence was something she hated even more than an overexcitable child. She hoped the stranger she'd shared a meal with would be better company.
The elf finished her food and drink, taking up her things and stuffing the letter into her cloak before she started walking toward the castle, presumably with Frederica. She walked on the side of the street, but didn't miss some guy strutting down the middle of the road as if he owned the whole city. Nudging the other female, she muttered, "Look at that idiot just walking out in the middle of the street," snickering and shaking her head at his antics.

The large stone structure loomed before her as they made progress toward it. Janella, cool and collected as she was, began to feel some anxiety in her stomach that didn't mix well with all the food. She brought her apprehension under control, however, not about to toss chunks or back off an opportunity like this.
Frederica stood, and followed Janella, when the remark was made she snickered, scoffed, then muttered, "Idiota," under her breath. She continued to walk, silently staring at the castle, but in her mind (With albeit translated thoughts) she was totally oblivious to the things that were contained in that castle. She wasn't into politics that much.

The girl did however wonder why they chose her. Maybe the letter was sent to the wrong person? Couriers aren't usually a good way of getting mesages around, but neither was any other form of communication except word of mouth. She was obviously too young to undertake a mission like this, let alone work with a team of adult. Then again if they did choose her it would be for a good reason, Maybe I'm underestimating myself a bit too much, she told herself.
Just as Nerys called out his greeting to the group at the table, a gaggle of rowdy, drunk and very loud men passed between him and them. Huffing irritably, he maneuvered around them to find that it appeared the table group hadn't heard him, or perhaps didn't realize he was speaking to them. He pulled his contract out and sauntered over to the table.
"Hello! I think we may be on the same job--I overheard you speaking just now. Are you heading to Camor? My name is Nerys, by the way." He offered a hand to the red-headed human and winked at the bald elf.
