Stirring up the mess

'Now, that's what you call a fantasy world,' Tom thought, making his way through the crowded insides of the guild. 

This was the first place when the aura of another world could be felt. In contrast to the city's streets, populated mainly by humans, the guild was filled with people from all sorts of races. Just by looking around, Tom could see a variety of elves, dwarves, and even folks that could only be described as demon folk. 

'I better steer clear from calling out anyone on their race,' Tom thought as he marched towards the counter conveniently placed at the building's side opposite to the main doors. 'Who knows who would take what names for insults,' he added in his thoughts only to stop right at the counter. 

"Hello," a young man sitting behind the table said while slowly raising his eyes to Tom's face. "How can I help you?" he asked. 

'How about you pay me your full attention first?' Tom thought, his lips slightly twisting.
