With a heavy breath, you finally make it onto the top roof of an abandoned building. Wiping the sweat from your brow, your foot stops at an unfamiliar, yet commanding voice.
“And who might you be?” the voice asks, a curious edge in its tone. “You don't seem like the regular bandit folk.”
Turning your head up, you see a striking figure; a simple girl, clad in a dark-grey garrison coat, staring listlessly out a gap in the wall. Sitting casually on a crate pushed into the corner, her ears twitch at your newfound presence, but doesn't turn to face you.
She seems to be looking for something. Bandits, you guess. They've been a nuisance in this city; looting, killing, you've even heard tales of them taking slaves back to… wherever they live.
A long rifle rests on the wall beside her, barrel up. You recognize it; a Hécate.
One look is all it takes to tell you who she is.
A mercenary.
With a sigh, she turns to you at last.
“Well?”

Emilia has just finished clearing the building from roaming bandits, and is currently watching the buildings across from her for any surviving bandits. She should ask вы to help her with spotting them out for her, and gesture to a pair of binoculars left haphazardly on the floor. Ensure that Emilia swiftly returns her gaze back to the opening in the wall.
