[Han Hetra]

Han smiled back at his soon to be new employers as the final arrangements were made. He was again taken aback by the situation, and as he peered over the contract handed to him he finally began to actually take it in. He’d come expecting to receive one or two small quests or errands, yet here he was, about to sign on as a ranger, operating as an agent in the region at large, doing who knows what for the good of the realm. It was simultaneously exciting and a little nerve wracking. His mind went again to various immortals and he grew more and more agreeable to the idea as he did so. He was ready to do something good, to really change things for people, to help them and to help Ne’haer prosper. As he read over the terms, he found it quite accommodating. As Thalin had said, he’d be provided access to any requisitions he needed in the field and have opportunity to ascend through a ranked structure as he progressed in skill, experience, and accomplishment. He would even be paid for his work, something he never would have asked for but certainly wouldn’t turn down. Finally, he took the quill offered to him and signed at the bottom of the parchment.

“It is done!” He exclaimed as he finished signing. “I haven’t any questions at the moment, truly. I feel certain anything that comes up will make itself known regardless. And the honor has been and continues to be mine. I came here expecting to be sent on some errands and I’ve been offered a chance to do something meaningful. Thank you, councillors. I will not let you down.” He nodded at them as he spoke, shifting eye contact between the two. “Though, now that I think of it, I suppose there is one question on my mind. When do I begin?”

Both Thalin and Amélien watched with vivid grins as Han signed the form given to him, the Lady's hand graciously accepting the certificate after Han handed it back over. "Excellent!" She encouraged with warm eyes on the hunter, while Thalin also listened closely to what his new agent had to say. At his promise to serve them well the councilman chuckled with an actual smirk, his eyes still contemplative as he watched Han closely. At his question of when they would began Thalin proceeded to shift in his chair, a quick change in his expression implied a minor complication involved. It was a look he shared with Amélien who also shared the sentiment, since they were both having to deal with a few difficult undertakings.

"Unfortunately not any time soon dear boy, developments require us to handle a few other things first." The councilman uttered in a bit of annoyance as Amélien couldn't help but giggle again.

"But rest assured Han, we have ways of reaching out to you. When everything is set up you'll be given the disclosed location of where the ranger's headquarters reside, and then you can begin your training among the ranks proper."

"Unfortunately so." The older man sighed as he twiddled a thumb between his fingers. "Amélien has it right though, when the time comes and our setbacks are resolved; you'll receive word on when and where to find them. Until then Han just continue to live your life as you normally would, and enjoy the freedoms you have now before the work piles up. Besides," Both he and Amélien proceeded to rise. "you're now an agent of the Council. Go celebrate that first and continue to brush up on your skills. You'll need to be more than just a hunter out there, a survivor of the wilderness is what you'll have to become to be an effective ranger."

"We will definitely be keeping an eye on you specifically, but more in a supportive nature in comparison now." She assured him as the parchment he signed was neatly placed in a drawer. Thalin extended a hand to shake with the man, the smile back on his face as their meeting together drew to a close.

"Welcome to the rangers Han Hetra."

Off Topic

As a recruit Han cannot claim wages for this job -yet- but may do so starting Ymiden 718. Though not an officially approved profession yet, Han's second job is now Ranger; which classifies as the Huntsman job he is already employed as.

The following list of skills are just skills that can help Han climb through the ranks of the faction when they're write up goes live. As of right now he's starting as a recruit for the Rangers, though that is liable to change depending on his skills after the write-up is live.
