"If you don't mind, you wanna join me?" you ask Adriana.

The dark knight raised an eyebrow and asked, "For what?"

"I need to gather my entire party, and I want you to come along with me." you replied.

"Is that so? This should be fun; it's been a while since I last went on an adventure!" she exclaimed after paying the bartender.

After taking one last slug of hard iced tea, Adriana eagerly exited the bar, with you and the guardsman following her lead. You were able to escort her to the training grounds outside the castle, and she couldn't help but notice the soldiers working hard.

"Hey, you're that girl that used to be with the Vices!" a voice called out.

You turned and noticed the voice belonged to Vivian, the pint-sized powerhouse of a warrior, standing there with a broad smirk. "Yes, that's her, allright. Her name's Adriana; you're Vivian, right?" you tell her.

"Yes, I am." the gold-haired woman replied, before looking at Adriana and saying to her, "By the way, nice to meet you." and offered her hand for a handshake greeting.

"Uh...hello, Vivian. I believe we've never met before, so I guess it's a pleasure to meet you." Adriana said, letting out a small chuckle.

"At least you're on our side, and not on Superbia's; that egomaniac preferred to stare into his reflection all day instead of praising your skills." Vivian said with a grin.

The red-haired dark knight laughed, and playfully slapped the warrior on the shoulder. "You got a pretty good sense of humor." she said.

"Anyway, I just finished up with a sparring match, and I need to take a much needed bath. The Volcano bathhouse is not too far from here; do you wanna come along?" Vivian asked.
