Detailing the Ranks (1)

Third Person's POV

The dark elf adjusted her glasses once more and her sharp demeanor returned the instant business was mentioned.

"Judging by the absence of rank tags, you must be new. May I have your names and affiliations?" she asked with a composed tone of a professional.

She smoothly withdrew a sheet of aged goatskin parchment along with a fine-tipped quill, poised to take notes.

"Eryndor Sangrial," Ethan replied smoothly and flashed a faint smile as his red eyes glowed faintly.

She paused slightly on hearing Ethan's fake surname though the thought of 'as expected' crossed into her mind.

"And these are my companions, Virese and Velcy. And as you noted, we are currently unaffiliated."
