Sacrimony

PANEL 1: Yunika turns to look at a well dressed gentleman behind her. He has sandy blonde hair, light skin and elegant green and blue clothing. "Hwaaa!?" Yunika asks. The gentleman looks amused. "I saw what those guards did to you. It's a damn good thing they did, too." "Excuse me!?" replies Yunika

PANEL 2: The gentleman puts an arm around Yunika's shoulders. "Oh come on, I didn't mean it like that. Lucy, is it? You can give this young woman whatever she wants. On me, of course." Yunika looks angry and uncomfortable.

PANEL 3: Yunika holds up two fingers. "Two mutton stews, please. QUICKLY." The gentleman continues talking. "What I meant is that your kind of talent is a complete waste on the streets."

PANEL 4: Yunika pulls away from the gentleman, crossing her arms. "Well it's a good thing my talent is safe and I'll be homeless in about a week. Really looking forward to that." The gentleman looks excited. "It doesn't have to be that way."

PANEL 5: The gentleman grabs Yunika's hand enthusiastically. Yunika leans away from him in disgust. "Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Johas Bokkin, the playwright and owner of the Laumerie performer's guild! What's your name, darling?" "It's Yunika" says Yunika. "Ahh Yameeka! An exotic name for an exotic face! I came here to ask if you would be interested in being part of my guild."
