Abasdarhon's Castle

- I am strong, agile, and have good stamina. My eyesight is good, and my willpower is slightly weaker. I'm not particularly intelligent. I'm wearing a legion uniform. I have a rifle, ammunition for it, a one-handed sword, two cookies, a notebook, a pencil, 200 axots, and I live in the Deadheads camp. I'm just an ordinary rank-and-file shooter; I don't have any secret information or connections.

When the tattooed legionnaire saw that Dargin was leading Maylin into the city, he addressed him.

As soon as the guy described everything about himself, Maylin realized that he wasn't very useful, as he didn't even have a place to live. Perhaps she could use him as a temporary bodyguard, but she wasn't entirely sure how effective he would be. So, the girl took 150 axots from him for "showing affection," deciding that it would be cruel to leave the guy without any means of support, and also took one cookie, which the guy, who had fallen in love with her, readily shared, considering it a kind of gift.
Of course, if the girl had been greedier, she could have taken everything he had and sold it for a pittance. It would have been a useful lesson for such an attitude towards women. In fact, that's exactly what the voice of her caring mentor advised her to do.
But Maylin still had some remnants of conscience, so she not only didn't force Dargin to do anything humiliating, which would have permanently lowered him in the eyes of his comrades, but she also decided to play on his infatuation. Let the shooter believe that he is sincerely in love with her and will be ready to stand up for her if necessary.

Having convinced Dargin that they were now both connected, and that the guy should protect her in everything, Maylin headed to the city with him. And if the remaining legionnaires no longer had any questions for her personally, her new companion was called out by his tattooed comrade, who was surprised to see his colleague shirking his duties.
"She could have convinced him to run around the area with his pants down and shout obscenities so that he would never be hired anywhere again," Cassmetra's voice sounded reproachfully in Maylin's head.
The girl realized that she had missed an important detail, as her new servant was supposed to be on duty. And it didn't matter that he had been released to do unpleasant things some time ago...
In any case, she didn't want to argue with the comrades of her new "friend," so she mentally ordered Dargin to apologize to his friends for leaving his post so abruptly and explain that the guy just wanted to accompany the girl not only to the gates but also to the city, to show her the way to the magic shops and the guild. After all, in that short time, they had become so friendly that Dargin didn't want the beautiful girl to get lost.
