"Rosalind, I want you to come along with me." you tell her.

"Really? So you've become an adventurer, is that right?" she asked.

"Yes; we should also meet our fellow allies, as well." you replied, taking her hand.

Rosalind blushed faintly as she felt her hand touching yours, but managed to compose herself and nod as she said, "Very well then."

After she got her equipment, she then followed your lead, and with the guardsman following you both, you made your way to Pearly Fountain tavern. However, Rosalind shuddered and said, "I don't want to go to a tavern; I hate drinking ****!"

"Don't worry, we're not getting any drinks; we're just here to find the second of our companions." you reassure her.

She sighed and rolled her eyes, and as the three of you enter the tavern, you investigated the surroundings until you noticed a beautiful green-haired woman dancing on a large stage. You were amazed at not only her moves and the garish clothes she donned, but also her incredible, curvaceous physique.

You waited until she was finished, with the crowd applauding her and even having her give some gold out to some of the customers, as she was on her way to the bartender to order a drink, you gently stop her and said, "My name's Jacob, prince of the Water Kingdom. Are you Katherine, the dancer?"

Katherine noticed and heard your inquiry, and laughed as she said, "Why, yes, I am. It's a pleasure to meet you."

After shaking your hand, she was able to do the same to Rosalind, and the scholar replied, "I'm Rosalind, a scholar. Jacob, on the other hand, just happens to be a white mage."

"It's good to meet you both. Care to have a drink with me?" Katherine asked.

"Uh...no, not really." Rosalind said, shaking her head 'no'.

"I could use a glass of ale." you replied.

"So do I." the guardsman added.

Katherine was then able to order two glasses of ale for you and the guardsman, and a glass of red wine for herself. As you drank your ale, you couldn't help but set your gaze towards the abundant cleavage she was sporting thanks to her top: she was gorgeous, yes, but you knew you were still focused on finding Jasmine.

However, the guardsman nudged you on the shoulder and asked, "Shouldn't we be finding the last of your companions?"

You rubbed the back of your neck, the decision already up to you.
