Melayne was getting closer to completing her quest.
Her quest required her to pay an exorbitant amount of opal stones to the Iron Hermit, all of which she had to earn herself. She had been working for months now.
Jax had been commissioning her for weapons and armor, which had been helping her gather the stones she needed. His orders alone had brought her nearly three hundred stones over the past few weeks. Other people had commissioned weapons too. Her reputation as a capable crafter was spreading through the village, and the steady work was paying off.
She decided she could afford to take time off and go fight in the forest.
She needed to acquaint herself with the two new people who had joined her party. She needed to understand them. Jax had spoken highly of both, but she preferred to judge for herself. Trust in combat couldn't be built through words alone.
"So you're a Sorcerer?" She asked Lucille when they met again.
"I am," Lucille replied simply.
