"Hey! Are you two planning on getting a room or a adventurer's plate?"
A gruff, gravelly voice barked from behind them.
"This isn't a tavern for flirting! Move it!"
Maddy jumped slightly, snapping out of the awkward encounter. To her surprise, she realized she had been so focused on hiding her presence and dealing with the "charming" stranger that she hadn't noticed the massive line she was standing in. People were packed in front of her and behind her; she had accidentally wandered into the Lane of Applicants for the Guild.
"Oh, uh... sorry!"
Maddy muttered, quickly trying to regain her 'invisible traveler' persona. She stepped to the side and gestured for the young man to go ahead of her.
"You were here first, clearly. Please, go ahead. I'm in no rush."
The young man didn't move. Instead, he bowed deeply, sweeping his hand toward the counter.
