First Job

The afternoon glow soaked the city of ….. The warm orange doing nothing to elevate the heat for locals and travellers alike. a traveling stock cart had just pulled into its destination, ending its 3 week journey from the north. three passengers disembarked and as the cart traveler headed to meet the stock manager a female Goliath and make dwarf begun unloading the crates.
No special cargo, food and wine, ores and wood. as normal as you could get.
“Where did you find this one?!” The stock manager seemed quite interested in the Goliath employee under the travellers watch.
“I found her on the path from Oxtrad's borders heading south towards …… she stopped me asking for money to buy a place to stay” he laughed “ Well its been a while i had beggars so bold, instead i offered her a job, Goliaths are rare this far from the mountains and i was down two men”

Raishin continued unloading the carts as if she could int hear the humans talking about her, but her focus was right on them.

It had been a few weeks since Raishin finished her training and set off to Reton, not knowing much about the entique of the world when she was offered a job she felt like this was a great opportunity. At first the traveler was a bit belittling and rude to her but after making her presence known they have had a much more equal understanding of each other.
she didn't talk much but she did listen closely, the one other worker was a lone dwarf who was good friedns with the traveler, apparent a favour had been asked and thats why he was on this trip.

The warm climate of Corvania was less than comfortable to most but Raishin didn't seem to notice it much, she felt like it was all her training over mind and body.
the sun was setting to this day, last task of the day before supper then bed.
“Can she at least speak?” the Stores manage spoke up quickly shut down by the traveler.
“Whoa whoa, i would ask you to mind your manors with my workers, They have been a major help and honestly without them your goods would have never made it.”
The Stores manager looked over Raishin and she met his gaze back with a glare, causing him to be visible caught up in a strike of fear. “cough cough, well if thats the case i am grateful. may you join me inside so we can finish the paper work?” The manager and Traveler disappeared into the store leaving Raishin alone with the dwarf.

Raishin had agreed to payment of meals and accomodation for the work she did, it was more than the Traveler had bargained for due to the amount Raishin ate but for the service she supplied it was more than worth it.

they were attacked by bandits in the first few days of travel, Raishin single handed protected the cart and scared off the attackers, the horse was injured and had to be put down Raishin was there to pull the two carts of supplies herself. least to say her physical prowess was astounding.
