"I'm baaack!"
No one in the messengers' guild was surprised to hear that all too familiar declaration so soon, even if only twenty minutes had passed since Lakelis had left on her assignment. With her abilities that was more than enough time for the young girl to travel to Essyrn from the guild's headquarters in Ketra to make her delivery. It was those abilities that put her among its most expensive messengers to use.
However as with all things they were a double edged sword. In Lakelis' case her abilities often kept her from getting a lot of assignments since the guild master saw it as a 'waste' to send her out on just any delivery. Sure she usually got the high paying jobs, making deliveries for high level officials and nobilities that needed their packages delivered asap, but aside from those she almost never received assignments. On top of that she was often sent home early because there was nothing for her to do, and she had a bad habit of getting in trouble when she had nothing constructive to do.
Today would be no different.
After receiving her payment from the guild master the man dismissed for her for the day, and as she always did Lakelis gave the man a broad smile before walking out of his office. Once outside she wasted very little time before making preparations for travel. She closed her eyes, and tried her best to picture the streets of her home town La'marri before completely disappearing from where she stood. There was no fancy display, no portals, no nothing.
She was just standing there one second and gone the next.
Her reappearance in La'marri was equally as quick and abrupt, only instead of seeing the streets or the houses the moment she opened her eyes she found herself peering directly into the brown eyes of a little kid. Usually she was good at avoiding people when she teleported, but she had been careless and well... this happened.
Of course her first reaction was to yelp in surprise, losing her balance and falling backwards onto her bum. She quickly rose back to her feet after realizing her mistake though, and bowed her head to the boy to give him a frantic apology.
"I'm so so sorry! I...I wasn't looking where I was um... going. Yeah going! That's it!"
