Um, did Savlian imply that Sera has criminal connections?
“And now Champion of Cyrodiil, as well,” Sera added. “I do hope you are not expecting any form of reverence from me, Sir Marcellius. I have little trust for celebrities and noblemen.” 
Now I’m thinking that Sera is either a highly capable fighter of some variety, or that somehow she knows that the Campion of Cyrodiil didn’t actually save the world. Or maybe she means that she’s not going to engage in bowing and hand-kissing for the benefit of curious bystanders.
Trailing after missing supplies does seem a little below their pay grade, but you’ve told us that squads of soldiers have tried and failed, so it must be something serious.
I’m looking forward to more.
