Help from Acquaintance

In the streets of the capital, Neera was strolling after a disappointing meeting with her acquaintance who, as she expected, refused to stand up for the Rose Guild. Her reason was she was too old for fighting and also she didn't want to take part in the conflict between guilds. 

In short, she was scared off from falling to the bad side of the other guilds. They have a huge influence everywhere so she doesn't want to take the brunt of it. Neera was disappointed as she strolled through lazily.

She was not in a hurry to go back because she knew what was waiting for her in the guild would be the scolding and rebukes from the Countess. And more frustration and guilt from taking up the challenge from them.
