Lily

"okay" Lily responded while stretching her arms. Kitty's answer had made her both happy and annoyed at the same time. She was happy because it meant that Lily probably didn't have to search for anything, but annoyed that Kitty only needed one item. In her own earning a living she had to search for multiple items in a basement filled with junk which was far from a nice experience. Luckily her friend Astropheric had helped her otherwise it would've taken ages. Lily had also helped him with his earning a living to become a tailor right after she finished, so this was going to be the second time that Lily was helping someone to become a tailor. She was quite happy that she had picked Performer as Tailor seemed to be a very popular proffession that was picked by quite some people. Lily completely ignored the rather childish skipping that Kitty was doing and just stared at the path when the female suddenly turned around and said they had to get away. The sudden change of Kitty's mood really confused Lily. She was thinking that it could probably be a prank but just to be sure Lily began to run and followed Kitty.

It slightly annoyed Lily that Kitty had been able to kill the spider in one turn. Even though they were working together Lily still felt jealous that she wasn't able to hit the spider at all and her friend easily hit it. Offcourse Lily didn't change her expression even the slightest making it almost impossible to see that she was in fact not that happy that Kitty hit the spider. Lily managed to calm herself down thinking about cute plushies and clothes that Kitty could make for her in the future. After gazing into the darkness for a bit her eyes fell back on the woman. "Are we done or do we need something else" She mumbled while pushing her sword back into its sheath. Lily quickly wiped some dust off of her outfit and brushed away some hair that was infront of her eyes.

Kitty: 20/20 HP [Energy: 3/5]

When the Cave finally entered her sight Lily puffed and tightened her grip around her sword. She already wasn't looking forward to go into a cave but now that she actually saw it the urge to stay out of it was even bigger. Lily nodded as a response to the woman saying to hurry and get out of the dark cave as soon as possible, she didn't want to stay in too long and was happy that she wasn't the only one. As the woman threw a rock into the darkness Lily stared into the cave, waiting for something or someone to come out. After a few seconds of silence a abnormally large spider suddenly appeared and came closer to the two females. It was half as big as Lily and its eyes were bright red which made Lily feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Lily immediatly ran towards the spider with a dead serious look. Her eyes were focused on the spider and she wasn't paying any attention to anything else. As soon as the spider realized the Little girl come closer it also started moving towards her. Lily pulled her sword back and lifted it up slightly as she came closer to the spider's left legs, activating her <<Slant>> Sword art. The spider noticed the attack immediatly and simply pulled up its left legs, making the girl miss and fall over, dropping her sword. The spider immediatly attempted a counterattack and tried to bite her in her legs, but Lily luckily could crawl away just in time. She quickly got up and quickly grabbed her sword from the ground. Lily took a few steps back and stared into the Spider's eyes.

On a sunny, quiet day "Lily's records" was finally done. It had taken a while for her to set up everything and it was somewhat stressful as not everything went as she planned. Lily had spent a day searching around on floor 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 for a suitable place to make her shop. After visiting the floors Lily had had the urge to put her shop on floor 3 as it was quite beautiful, but upon seeing Floor 6 she immediatly decided to start her shop there. She found a nice little spot just outside of Amazon Village where there was more than enough space to make a shop. It took a while to decide how she wanted it and even changed her ideas eventually as she realized that she didn't want to sell things to strangers. Lily had decided to tell those who she wanted to be able to enter her shop a certain combination of knocks. It was a fairly long combination so no one would be able to do it by accident.

Now that everything was finally done Lily walked into the recording area and grabbed her guitar. After a few seconds of thinking she decided to attempt to play a song from a game that she liked. It was originally a song on the Piano but Lily had managed to play it on guitar with the help of the maid/babysitter that had teached her how to play guitar. Lily didn't play League of Legends very often but did constantly listen to the music of it. Lily grabbed a recording crystal and started playing the song. She tried twice as even though her first try went well, It didn't have anything unique to it. Her 2nd try sadly wasn't better at all because she forgot how to play the start. Lily put the two recording crystals in the "Finished" shelf and went to the sofa to take a nap.

When Matt came back Lily slowly got up and walked to the other door and walked inside. The room was luckily lit up so she could see but she then realized that she had no clue what they were looking for. Lily stared at the shelves that covered the walls with absolutely no clue what to search for. The shelves were filled with small boxes, unfinished plushies, piles of clothing and some other random things. Lily sighed and walked out of the room as there didn't seem to be anything that could be used to make something.

"Nothing"  she repeated, looking down at Matt's shoes and letting out a small sigh. She wasn't enjoying the search at all but forced herself to proceed as Matt had helped her too when she had to search for items in the basement of the music shop.

When suddenly a incredibely large man appeared behind the counter Lily started looking around as she didn't want to make eye contact with a giant. Lily has always had a feeling of anger and slight despise come up when someone over 6"4' enters her area, just like she has with Spiders and certain other bugs. It's not that she likes them she just once read a book where a race of giants murdered a town with really short people which made her constantly think about how a taller person could easily break her IRL. When Matt finally finished talking to the npc he took her to a door and walked downstairs for some reason. Lily hadn't paid a lot of attention to the coversation so didn't really know what to do. She soon realozed that she probably had to do something as Matt told her to hop off which she did as slow as she could. When a man suddenly walked into the room Lily stared at the door with a dead serious expression, not knowing what to do at all. When her friend came out after a short while and said that it was her turn Lily stared at him for 10 seconds without moving at all, thinking of what she would have to do. She then looked around the room, seeing multiple doors around which alog with what Matt said made her assume that they had to search for the materials right now just like they had done in her Earning a living. Upon understanding that it was now time for her to do something Lily walked to the closest door and slowly opened it, noticing that there was no light in the room when completely opening the door. Wuth a small sigh Lily walked into the room, looked left and right seeing absolutely nothing but black, and walked back out of the room. "Nothing." she mumbled as she sat down on the ground and adjusted her socks.

With a wave as a goodbye to the NPC Lily walked out of the shop, immediatly letting out a big sigh of relief. She was quite happy that she now officially was a performer. After spending far too long in the dirty basement she was happy to finally get some fresh air. With another sigh and leaned against the wall of the music shop, her eyes falling onto Matt after a few seconds of looking at the giant crowd of people. "Thanks" she mumbled, looking down at Matt's shoes. She was happy that Matt helped her with the quest as it would've taken even longer if she had to do it alone and it would've been too boring. Even though it wasn't the most enjoyable thing at first, Lily felt like she made the right choice to do the quest. It would've probably been shorter if she had found another performer shop but didn't really care anymore as she wasn't planning on repeating Earning a Living. With her eyes focused on the crowds of people that made the street almost impossible to see she walked to Matt and leaned her head against his back, waiting for him to go somewhere as she had absolutely no clue where to go now that she finished. 

Rewards:

Lily~ +200 Col, +2 SP

Astropheric~ +200 Col, +1 SP

She was happy that Matt came with her as she didn't trust the NPC that much. As they enetered some sort of recording area Lily looked around for a bit as the woman took the Recording crystal from her and put it on a iron rod with a small round platform ontop of it that allowed the woman to put it on. The woman motioned her to sit down as she put the Teal crystal in its place. When Lily sat down the NPC quickly closed the door and sat down on the chair next to Lily. "Alright, so first i'll tell ya what this thing does" she pointed at the recording crystal.  "The recording crystal obviously are needed to record your songs. Without these you won't be able to do anything. Now I assume that you know the basics of playing guitar so i'll show ya some useful "tricks" with a smile the woman walked towards the wall and grabbed another acoustic guitar to show Lily these useful tricks. She sat back down next to Lily who was already in the right position, ready to learn some things. As the woman started her long speech about how to make certain sounds Lily paid attention for once as she really wanted to do well. 

After about 40 minutes of talking and trying out the things that the woman told her about the Npc got up and put away her guitar. "Now it's time for ya to show me what you can do. Pick a song that ya like and blast me away." the woman laughed As she backed off slightly.

Lily closed her eyes for a few seconds to focus on picking a song. It didn't take long for her to come up with a very pretty song that she loved, safe and sound. Lily grabbed the teal crystal and squeezed it carefully, making it activate. She quickly put the crystal back down on its place as it began to glow, meaning that it started recording. She slowly breathed in and out once more to calm herself and started to strum carefully. After a few seconds she began to sing in a very calm and gentle tone. Lily's voice usually lacked emotion but when singing it never did. After singing for about a minute a smile appeared on Lily's face as she absolutely adored the song.

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go"

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

 

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

 

Don't you dare look out your window darling

Everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby

Even when the music's gone

Gone

 

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

 

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La 

La La 

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La 

 

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe and sound...

 

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh

 

As she finished the song the woman stopped the recording with a giant smile that freaked lily out. "That was really good, i'll be listening to this one for the rest of the month." The woman laughed as she grabbed the recording crystal and pushed it into her pocket. Lily got up and put the guitar on her back. "Thank you, Miss." Lily said, looking up at the NPC. "It was a pleasure to help a fellow musician. Oh and Congratulations" she responded as a notification with "Quest completed!" On it popped up infront of Lily.

As Matt pulled the last item out of the list out of the piles of rubbish Lily was happy that the spectacular search was finally over. She was about to thank him for helping her when he suddenly said that he had already found it 10 minutes ago. A confused look appeared on Lily's face as she had absolutely no clue why he didn't tell her before. Lily carefully grabbed the recording crystal and did a 180 degree spin, making her hair fly against Matt. She made her way to the guitar and book through the giant area that was filled with rubbish. She grabbed the guitar first that had a leather strap allowing Lily to wear it on her back. As she pulled the strap over her shoulder she quickly grabbed the book and looked at Matt. "Are you coming?" she mumbled while walking towards the stairs. Lily slowly made her way up, constantly looking back to see if Matt was behind her. 

With a gentle kick the door back to the shop flew open. Lily was slightly blinded by the much brighter light than the light they had downstairs as she walked towards the counter where the Female npc was sitting, drumming on the counter with a pencil while humming something that Lily didn't recognize. Lily realized that the woman had some sort of hearing problem as she didn't even notice Lily that had made enough noise untill she put the book and recording crystal down on the counter. "~hmm! You're already done? I thought it'd take longer to find something in that mess." the woman chuckled but lily couldn't help but have the urge to just slap her right now. Thanks to the basement trip Lily was quite annoyed and really hoped that she was close to finishing the quest. "Anywayss~ pick up all ya items and follow me."  The woman began to walk towards another door close to the entrance. The woman opened the door and looked at Lily with a smile, probably waiting for her to go in. She was far from comfortable with going in alone as she didn't know the NPC at all so walked towards Matt and grabbed his arm, looking up at him with puppy eyes. "Please come with me." she mumbled, her eyes falling back on the waiting NPC.

The search for the book wasn't the most enjoyable thing. She had gone through about 30 books now that all had nothing to do with music at all. With a sigh she proceeded to go through thre books, constantly checking the first few pages to see what it was about. Finally after another 10 books or so Lily found the book that she had to find, atleast she thought so. The book seemed to be some sort of guide on how to play certain instruments which was quote interesting unlike the other books. Lily sat down on the crate she stood on before and quickly looked at all the pages before closing it. "I found the book." she said as she made her way to the guitar. She put the book right next to the acoustic guitar and looked around at the giant mess that they had made. It was incredible how they made an already disgusting looking room look even worse. 

Lily walked over to Matt and stared at the giant pile not too far away from him. "Come on Matt I already found 2 things." she said to tease him while pinching his back. She wasn't planning on looking around anymore as she would was too lazy so decided to look at Matt. Lily found it quite fair that she could stop searching as she had found 2/3 items needed and Matt none, even though it was her quest she didn't care at all.

Lily quickly went back to searching when Matt got up and began to search too. She noticed that he was going to look through some rubbish so Lily decided to search for the book that they needed to find. She made her way to the dusty bookshelf and sighed as she realized how many books there were. About 80% were green which made Lily want to give up for a few seconds. Lily grabbed a book from the top shelf and opened it, quickly looked through it to see if it was the book that she needed and placed it back on the shelf as it wasn't the book that she had to collect for the quest. Lily shook her head as a response to the man's question and proceeded her oh so epic search. 

After doing the same with about 10 books Lily tripped while putting back one of the books and landed against the bookshelf making it fall over  backwards. She was luckily able to prevent herself from falling along with the bookshelf and quickly backed off to see the damage that she had done. "oops" Lily said, not changing her serious expression and tone. She was annoyed by the basement and didn't see why she needed to find a stupid book with apparently something important in it. Lily was surprised that the NPC didn't come down to see what was going on after the noise that Lily had made. With a sigh Lily sat down and checked the books one by one, constantly throwing them away a bit as they weren't the ones that she was looking for. The random subjects that the books were about annoyed lily even more as it didn't make any sense why a book about cleaning would be in a disgusting basement like this and why a book about some sailor was needed in a shop.

Lily closed her eyes and tried to distract herself as Matt began to walk through a crowd of NPC's. Lily hated crowds and was really happy that Matt had offered to carry her otherwise she had definitely lost Matt right now. They weren't in a party and Lily didn't even have Matt on her Friends list yet so if they lost each other it wouldn't be very useful. Lily groaned as the noise became worse and did her best to distract herself but could only think about how she could make the noisy people shut up.

After quite some time they finally walked towards a decent looking building which gave Lily hope that it wasn't going to be so noisy inside. Sadly her hope was soon ruined upon actually entering the building as the noise from outside could still be heard along with loud music. The noise was really annoying Lily and really wanted to get away from the noise, but she couldn't just go away to a quiet location and leave Matt behind as he had helped her too. Still being on Matt's back even though they had entered the building was quite a surprise for Lily as it was probably not the most "manly" thing to be seen with a little girl on your back however she wasn't going to make any fuss about it as she would happily stay on for a while.

It didn't take long untill a basic acoustic guitar was spotted by Lily in a pile of rubbish. The room was an absolute mess which was quite annoying but probably was meant to be like that to make the quest a little harder. Lily let out a puff as she jumped off the Wooden crate and walked rowards the pile of broken instruments and piles of blank paper. She decided to take care of the paper first so began to pick up the piles and put them on the wooden crate she was standing on before. After a few minutes she got rid of most of the paper and began to push the broken instruments away. Lily crossed her fingers as she pulled away some sort of xylophone, hoping that the guitar was still in a good condition. Once she got rid of the Xylophone Lily sighed in relief as she couldn't see any problems with the guitar. She carefully grabbed it and walked towards Matt. Lily put the guitar down on the ground next to him and looked up at Matt. "Can you help me, please" she mumbled while looking back at the guitar. It was probably not a smart idea for Lily to search alone as it was probably going to take ages. She hadn't seen anything except for the guitar and a large bookshelf filled with green books which meant that they were going to spend quite some time in the dusty basement.

Offcourse Lily followed Matt while looking around for a Tailor. She didn't know if Matt had any idea where to go so thought that it would be smart to look around just in case. Lily's eyes fell back on the man as he suddenly said something that she thought he would never dare to say. "Want a ride" may not be the most spectacular thing to say however it baffled Lily. She had made so much drama back at the inn to get a ride and now he just allowed her to jump onto his back. A real smile appeared on Lily's face as she nodded, still surprised by the fact that he just offered her a ride. She was not sure if it was a trap or not but was definitely willing to take the risk. 

The girl carefully got onto Matt's back and put her head on his shoulder. "Thank you" she mumbled in his ear. It was a mystery for most people she knew IRL how to make her smile and they would probably rip their hairs out if they knew that it was a simple piggyback ride that put a smile on her face. Lily giggled as the desperate actions of trying to make her smile by a few maids flew through her mind. Because Lily usually has a emotionless/serious expression most people thought that she was never happy, which was far from true. Lily just didn't like to smile. She always felt more comfortable when other people didn't know her emotions, so she often puts up her serious expression. Lily only took off that "mask" for her parents as they were the only ones that she felt that she could trust.

Lily was taken out of her thoughts by a young boy that was about a head shorter than her bump into Matt from the left side. He didn't seem to have noticed though and just walked away without saying a single word. Lily glared at the boy untill he went out of her sight. "Weird" she mumbled while looking around for a Tailor.

Lily nodded happily as the girl said the word plushies. When Kitty finished answering her question she threw one right back at her. After a few seconds of thinking Lily responded. "I like singing and making music. It makes me happy I guess." Lily looked around the forest to make sure that they wouldn't get ambushed by a mob. When she suddenly heard a twig break and saw some sort of bird take off Lily jumped back slightly. She was quite uncomfortable out of the safe zone so even a harmless bird could scare her.  The woman told her a rather odd plan that Lily didn't find so.. good. They had to find and collect spider web and the spiders were most likely located on or around their webs, so the chance that they would become hostile when the two would do an attempt to steal their web was quite big, especially if it was a big spider. "Maybe we won't be able to avoid the spiders." she said to show her concern. Not only was it probably hard to avoid fighting, Lily also had a weird thing that she got quite angry when she saw ugly bugs. She was worried that upon seeing a spider she may be flooded with rage and attack it. 

Lily followed Kitty as she began to walk towards the place that they had to go. She wasn't that comfortable with leaving the starting city but being with someone else atleast made it a little harder to die. Lily really hoped that they didn't have to fight a lot as she wasn't that high of a level so would most likely struggle with even killing a single boar. Not only was she low leveled Lily barely had any experience with her sword, So fighting was just something that would be smart to avoid. Sadly she had already accepted helping Kitty before even knowing the details of what they had to do. Lily started to walk a little faster so that she could walk right next to the woman. "Why do you want to become a tailor?" she asked while looking at the woman. She honestly didn't really care that much about why she had picked to become a Tailor but she thought that the woman would probably appreciate to not have akward silences.

Lily looked over the information and frowned as she read where they had to go. She wasn't really a big fan of spiders and the spiders in SAO were most likely not going to be the little ones that you could easily get rid of. Lily isn't really scared of bugs but simply felt really disgusting when seeing one. Everytime she would have to face one of the disgusting creatures a major urge of killing them would take over Lily's mind. In the past she would usually throw anything that she could get her hands on to a spider or another bug. She eventually gave herself the title "Master Insect hunter" as she sometimes spent hours hunting bugs in the backyard.

The short girl clicked the quest information away and looked back at Kitty as she told her the location of the spider nest. Lily nodded as a response and quickly opened her inventory, equipping her basic short sword. "Ready." she said as she pushed the sword into its sheath. 

Liy didn't bother talking more than needed so just smiled slightly for a second as a response. As the woman hugged her again Lily's expression went back to her usual serious one and she wiped away a large lock of hair that was once again blocking her sight. Lily carefully backed off again and sat down on the ground infront of Kitty. She was preparing herself for walking a lot so she was trying to sit down as much as she could. Lily looked up as the woman began to talk and nodded as a response. "Good, I'll help you" she said, looking at the woman's hair. She really liked that her friend was going for Tailor as she then had someone to go to for plushies and cute things. Lily had struggled with picking either Performer or Tailor as proffession but eventually ended up with performer.  "Where do we need to go?" Lily mumbled, looking around at the Npc's around them. She was hoping that their destination was like a few meters away but that was most likely not going to be true. Lily puffed and got up again, quickly pulling her sleeves over her hands as they were cold.

Lily made her way out of the restaurant pulling the taller and stronger man after her. She squeezed his arm slightly as they walked out of the cafe into the crowded streets of the first floor. The girl found it weird that there were so many people still walking around on the first floor while floor 11 was already discovered. She wasn't really the one that could whine about others staying on floor 1 for so long as she did exactly the same but she was really looking forward to finding a quiet place where she could relax.

After looking around for a bit Lily turned left and walked right into the alley next to the cafe. She kept pulling the man after her as she made her way through the maze of alleys. Because she turned left and right almost every 15 seconds or so it may look like she had no destination, however she definitely did. Quite a while ago Lily had found a rather busy street with a lot of shops, she hadn't really looked at all of them so wasn't sure if there were any Performers around in the street but it's definitely worth to look.

3 minutes Later the two were now located in the busy street with shops absolutely everywhere. The closest shops seemed to be only Blacksmiths and Tailors however in the corner of her eye she noticed a rather deserted looking shop. As she walked closer she could see a wooden board infront of the shop with "Mayumi's Magical Melodies". The rather cringy title didn't give her the best impression of the shop however it was the only Performer shop that she could see around so it didn't seem that she had the choice to go in or not. Lily looked at Matt for a few seconds to see how he was doing and then slowly walked towards the entrance of the shop. The exterior of the building was quite boring. It had the usual white walls with an orange peeked roof. There were several large dark gray stained windows that were rather hard to look through.

As she pushed open the door Lily was greeted by a soothing female voice humming a melody that she didn't recognize coming from the right. Lily walked further into the shop seeing a skinny woman with long flowing black hair sitting on a dark wooden counter. When Lily began to walk closer the woman looked up with a smile and jumped off the counter. "Why hello there! How can I help you?" she said as she walked closer towards Lily. The short girl noticed that the woman was about the same height as Matt which made her frown. Being with one tall person was already annoying and hurt her neck because she usually had to look up but now there was another one.. "I want to become a performer." Lily said while her eyes fell on the busy interior of the shop. Flutes, Lutes, Acoustic guitars, drums and all sorts of other instruments were hanging on the walls, the floor was a mix of different types of wood and there was a giant dark green carpet infront of the counter that the woman was sitting on before. "Ah, Well what do you do? Sing, play an instrument?" the woman asked her as she leaned against the wall and looked down at Lily. "hm. I'd like to play acoustic guitar and sing." Lily said, making a big smile appear on the woman's face. "Alright then, Why don't we get started! Follow me." The woman walked back towards the counter and jumped over it, opening several cabinets and putting random items on the counter. Lily walked towards the counter and stared at the boxes and junk that she placed on the table. After a few seconds the woman lifted a Silver key and gave it to Lily. "That's the key to the door over there" The woman pointed towards a wooden door a few meters away. "It'll lead to the basement. You'll need to look for a guitar that suits you, a large green book with songs in it and 1 recording crystal. If ya found them then come back to me alright?" As the woman finished her sentence a screen popped up infront of Lily with "EARNING A LIVING" as title. The items that she had said to look for were listed on the screen below the title. Lily quickly accepted and responded with a nod.

Lily walked towards the door and opened the door with the key that had been given to her by the woman. She slowly opened the door, hoping that there wasn't a scary dark area behind it. Luckily everything was lit up, the only thing that made her a little uncomfortable was the long wooden stairs that she had to walk down. With a sigh she made her way down and walked into the rather large basement. The room was filled with giant wooden crates and piles of junk which made it almost impossible to see anything that she needed to find. "Let's start searching" she mumbled, walking towards one of the crates and climbing ontop of it to get a better view of the room.

"I'm so bored" Lily groaned as she walked out of the cafe that she had been in for several hours. She had been doing absolutely nothing for the past few days as there was simply nothing interesting. Going out of the safe zone was something that she didn't want to do alone so fighting some boars and wolves to kill some time wasn't an option. Other than visiting shops and cafés there wasn't anything in the starting city that Lily liked to do, which caused her to spend her days on wooden benches where all she did was sleeping and listening at coversations of people that were close to her. As she once again made her way to her best friend, the wooden bench, Lily stopped as a letter icon with a 1 on it popped up infront of her. The girl pressed the button, making the message of a female that she had met not too long ago appear. A weak smile appeared on her face for a few seconds as she read the message. She usually didn't like helping people that much as she was quite lazy but right now she would rather help a friend than to Die of being too bored. With a little hop Lily turned around and began to walk towards the center of the town.

After about four minutes of walking Lily arrived at the spot that she had been told to go to. Lily's eyes went from person to person, trying to find the woman that she was looking for. It only took 30 seconds to spot the girl with the cat ears and the beautiful blonde hair. With her usual serious expression Lily walked towards her and quickly hugged the woman as it was the first thing that she could come up with to greet Kitty. "Hi" the short girl said as she backed off slightly. 

Lily sat down next to the male that had helped her with the quest. After spending quite a while on getting her Proffession Lily was planning on getting some rest, however that plan was soon ruined as Matt asked her to help him with the quest that she had just finished. She wanted to say no as she was quite tired, but the man had helped her so that would be very rude. Lily looked up at Matt and gave a nod as a response, accepting his cry for help. The girl got up again and jumped to make herself feel a bit more energetic. "Lead the way" Lily said as she glared at the people that walked past her.

Even though she wasn't looking forward to walking and doing stuff, she was happy that she actually had made a good friend. Matt was a unique person with a rather odd personality which made Lily like him. When she got stuck in the game Lily was bothered by the fact that she wasn't strong enough to do everything on her own. Because she barely left the house in real life Lily expected to have a very hard time with things like talking to Npc's and other players, but right now it didn't seem like she had any problems at all. It was a big surprise for her to see how people actually tried to talk to her and how she managed to react to them without scaring them off.

The girl knew that she wasn't going to be able to choose, even visiting both proffessions. She could already see herself pick Tailor or Performer simply because the shop employee was nicer than the other one. Lily scanned the area for a way to decide what she was going to choose. To the left of Matt and Lily there was a young adult couple sitting next to each other, both with a white cup infront of them. She suddenly thought of a plan that gave her no control over picking a proffession which was what she wanted. Lily shook her head as a response to Matt and stared at the couple. "If the girl takes a sip of her drink first then I'll pick Performer, if the boy drinks of his drink first then I'll go for Tailor." Lily mumbled, focusing on the cups.

After 10 minutes of staring at the couple, neither of them had even touched their cup. She was about to think of something else when the girl suddenly grabbed the cup and took a slight sip. Lily let out a sigh of relief and immediatly got up. She walked towards Matt and grabbed his arm carefully while she looked at his hair. "Let's look for a performer." she said while slightly pulling his arm towards her. Lily was happy that the choice was made. She avoided thinking about the other proffession as it could probably make her doubt her decision again. She focused on where she could possibly find a performer's shop.

Lily put her chin down on the table as he told her to pick one. "I don't know" she mumbled, trying to think of what would fit her the best. It was probably smart not to pick cook as she didn't have a lot of experience with cooking. She usually had a hard time with easy dishes and never really enjoyed cooking that much. The only reason that she would pick the Proffession was so that she could make anything that she wanted for herself. She decided to scrap cook of her list, leaving her with Tailor and Performer. Both proffessions were things that she would like to do. Making cute clothes and Plushies for herself was something that Lily would really like to do, but Music was also something that had been around for her whole life.

The girl banged her head against the table and groaned. "Tailor or performer" she said in a slightly annoyed tone. A few npc's in the building glared at her as she pushed her head against the table again. "I can't choose" she mumbled as she stared at the table. Lily knew that Matt wasn't going to help her with her choice as he had said so, which meant that they were probably going to be in the cafe for a while. She let out another sigh as she lifted her head and sat back up.

"Because," Once again the tempation to make up a lie to make him come with her however he was most likely not going to believe her. The truth was that she didn't want to do it alone as she didn't have a lot of information. She usually liked doing things alone in the real world as she capable of doing things by herself, but in SAO she still felt quite weak. Lily only knew that she had to go to a shop of the proffession she wanted to become, but that was everything she knew. She didn't know if she had to possibly fight something or just had to prove herself of being good enough.

After about 5 seconds of silence Lily proceeded talking. "I don't want to do it alone." she mumbled, somewhat embarrassed by the fact that she now probably sounded like she was scared. "I heard people talk about proffessions before, Blacksmith, Fisherman, Tailor, Performer and cook are the ones that I heard about. I think i'm going with Tailor, Performer or cook.." Lily looked down at her hands as she finished talking. All three proffessions were quite interesting as they all allowed her to make or do things that she liked. Tailor gave her the ability to make plushies, Performer had something to do with music and with Cook as proffession she could make food for herself. Lily wasn't really good at making decisions so picking one of them was hard.
