[X] Pretend like nothing happened and carry on paying for the cheaper healing.
You let the silence drag out for a few moments as you ponder on what to do, some part of you tempted to use the situation to press for extra benefits. However, you decide that it is a rather poor move to put pressure on her for the event, it's highly likely the entire exchange was unintentional after all. You shakily move a hand down and pull a coin-purse from your waist before sorting forty coppers onto to the table.
"This should be enough for the basic treatment, correct? I'll be going with that for the time being, please don't delay since I do have a request to report for today."
Valencia carefully moves a hand to wipe the traces of blood from her face before nodding, her form rigidly standing up as she moves to gather the needed supplies. It doesn't take long for her to finish the work, a couple of ointments being applied with proper bandaging being the extent of it after all. You give her a short nod and stand up to leave after thanking the Elf for her help, but she remains silent until you've actually stepped out the door.
"Please come again tomorrow, Sir. Do not forget the need to monitor your condition."
Immediately after, the door shuts soundlessly behind you and you decide to throw the situation there to the back of your mind. At least until you actually finish the job today. With that in mind you make your way out of the Guild and immediately head for the Lord's Hall, it is from there that all the town's administration is carried out after all. As you walk you begin to notice your hunger, if only because you can feel the ravenous sensation coming from your cannibalistic companion.
You manage to pick up a meal from a street vendor, two skewers with roasted sausages on them and a hunk of bread, for a total of five coppers. Quickly polishing that off you begin to pass the time you spend walking by throwing pieces of the butchered rabbit meat down to your rabbit. Impressively the vicious little fur-ball manages to snap up every bit without fail, it is truly impressive how agile the creature and its species appear to be.
When you finely arrive at the Lord's Hall you find a flood of people trafficking the area, some moving into the Hall and others leaving while just as many seem to flit around in the plaza laid out before it. A quick order for the rabbit to stay close to you is issued and then you head inside to report for your temporary posting.
The inside of the Hall is a rather large oddly enough, desks lined up to either side of the open air garden at it's heart. A quick glance up reveals two floors above with railings setup along the edge for those with the time to gaze at the garden, or sky.
"Quite an impressive display of wealth, makes you wonder what buildings look like in actual cities or province capitals..."
You spend a moment looking around, but quickly find all the desks occupied with lines that almost reach out the doors though you do manage to spot a stairwell off behind the desks with a guard leaning on the wall next to it. Waiting in the line would definitely end with you knowing where you are to report to, but given the time required... Perhaps it's worth asking the guard instead?
' "Report to the Lord's Hall", what a damned helpful addressing. It's quite annoying that they didn't provide a better description of where to go and I doubt the Guild asked or cared. They really take the entire standing on your own merits bit a tad too far sometimes.'
What do you do?
[] Get in line for one of the reception desks. Guaranteed to get you where you need to go, but it'll be time consuming.
[] Head over and ask the Guard, show your Guild Card and the request. Maybe they know and it would be far faster anyway.
[] Write-in.

Currently it is weak and only grants you the power of Domination, but if you grow stronger and perform in a way that meshes with this Boon then perhaps its strength can grow.
Heroes can be Thieves Right? - In the name of Heroism you stole classified information from the Church of War without being caught. Now no innocent souls shall be ended with this dangerous knife, but ... yours might be if you mess up? Slightly increased chance of learning stealth and thievery related skills until discovered, lost if the Sealed Scroll is destroyed.
Ethical Scholar - A scholar's duty is that of facts, numbers, honesty, and boundaries. You have a devotion to the work of the written word that few would follow in the face of potential benefits.
