"Jesus!" Ben jumped. "Have you thought about wearing a bell dude?"
Jotou stuck her tongue out and gave a wink. Both of them stood at the centre of the guild, now glancing back up to the massive skeleton hanging from one side of the ceiling to the other. "It’s a dragon, right?"

"Where’s that?"

"You know I love my lore. But, Clyde talked about it once," Ben’s eyes closed halfway.
Jotou switched her gaze towards the armoured figure, "Hm. How’s that going?"
"Oh we were just talking before you jump scared me. I," he sheepishly looked at her. "Apologized for thinking he was an NPC... Then I had to explain what an NPC was. I said, I didn’t know this was all real.
