After he had stormed off, Fujiwara found himself aimlessly wandering the streets of Tolbana. Having to deal with that stupid thief once was enough, but the thought of him joining the group was... Aggravating, to say the least. He was perfectly fine with new people, just not ones with a criminal record on them. It baffled him to think that the others were trying to give him a chance; by that point, it was all but guaranteed to him that he would be a liability to the group in more ways than one. A level 3 at this point in the game would take massive amounts of damage and deal very little back, and the usage of a spear meant that even the damage he dealt would be slow and almost nonexistent. Sighing, he stared up at the sky and wondered how to deal with that stubborn fool if he decided to show his face again. Noticing the time on his interface, Fujiwara shook his head and sighed.
"I... Guess I'd better get there now." he said as he quickly made his way to the inn. There, he noticed the rest of the party waiting, along with a certain thief trying to hand Paka something.
"So much for 'no more pickpocketing', hm? Who'd you steal those off of, hm? Or is that simply something you 'happened' to come across in the short while that you were stalking the town? Who knows?" he said, glaring at the thief. "Bribery will get you nowhere; we're not that greedy. But of course a petty pickpocket like you wouldn't understand that."

Ayame stretched and smiled, wiping off the nonexistent sweat off of her forehead as she had just finished lunch for everyone. Smiling at her handiwork, she moved the food onto indivitual plates, which she then put onto platters to serve to everyone else. Taking the platters and moving to the main lobby of the inn, she noticed everyone had already gathered around or near the inn. Ayame moved to the table where Paka was sitting at and placed the platters down gently.
"Alright, let's see how my cooking turned out this time. Stew and salad should do nicely for lunch, wouldn't you say?" she asked before noticing Fujiwara come in. As she did, Ayame also noticed that Fujiwara was a great deal angrier than when she had last seen him. Noticing his gaze, she turned to the thief from earlier and, sighing, shook her head.
"Well, that killed the atmosphere. I'm sorry, but could I ask you to please leave? I would much prefer to not have any of my valuable stolen from me, thank you very much." she said, backing away from the table a bit. Noticing Ayame, Fujiwara glared at the thief.
"Can't you just go away already?" he asked, his expression changing from one of anger to one of pure irritation.
