It didn’t take long for his requests to be answered, but it was rather sudden. DD was rigid as the curtains of magic washed over him, changing his appearance to that of a human male with unremarkable amber eyes and dark brown hair. The sting of magic made his hand twitchy, so he decided to fiddle with the leather wrappings on the scabbard of his sword instead, feigning disinterest. However, the tight set of his jaw betrayed him. His temper was turning out to be quite a bother. He blamed the lack of coffee and pretzels for breakfast. 

 [color=orange]“Ah, just what I need. Thank you, Silva.”[/color]- He nodded to the angel, grinning with his now blunt human teeth.-[color=orange]“And Donut or DD is fine, no need to get all formal.”[/color]

 Fortunately, most didn’t pay much attention to his outburst. Or even if they did, they were polite enough to not dwell on the matter. Except LP’s little pet dragon of course, which was quite vocal on the matter. He turned to LP and her dragon, mouthing a silent apologize just as she was voicing her intend of going out to the town to collect some information. Hopefully she wouldn’t hold it a grudge against him later. Maybe after a bribe or two, he still had plenty of candy corn hidden away.  

 The meeting proceeded nicely, with most voicing their own concerns for the guild safety and finding their own way to contribute. He found himself watching the NPCs intendedly, still amazed by their newly gained sentience. It both fascinated and scared him. Just like Furiko, they basically worshipped him and his fellow guildmates. While it was rather flattering, he still couldn’t banish the nagging fear at the back of his mind. What if eventually, they found him unworthy of that reverence? They had thoughts and feelings now, and those were easily changed. He didn’t like the thought of shattering the illusion of grandeur these NPCs (people, now?) had for them. 

 (shut up. what do you care? you don’t care)

 As soon as Toasty made the final announcement, and dealt with his little drama as well, DD took it as a dismissal and stood up. He gave Toasty a hard stare, but then relented with a sigh and said:

 [color=orange]“Alright then. It’s your call, after all. Take care, Breakfast, don’t worry about me. And you too, Nostromo.”[/color] –With that said, he glanced over to Shammura, his gaze sharpened. But since DD wasn’t one for empty threats, he simply grunted.-[color=orange]“Behave.”[/color]

 Just as he stood up to leave, DD noticed Furiko right beside his seat. He paused for a moment, simply stared at her like an idiot, before speaking up.

 [color=orange]“So, you wanna come with?” [/color]

 Furiko looked to her lord. She hadn't reacted to any of the loud noises he made. In fact, his anger filled like berserker tone didn't phase her at all. This was because she was rather used to it, and she never really had a problem with it. Her role, as it was, was pretty simple, support, and deal with anything he needed help over. The mere thought of anything else didn't really come to her mind. Though, watching the npc's their reactions to the others. It drove her to ponder more on the subject itself, even Shammura with her own ways of showing love was...different to say the least. They all showed this truthfully amazing loyalty, with both emotion and passion to their leader. But was she like them? Did she fall into the same group as they were? She often pondered would she have really felt any different with her lord gone? It wasn't right to think of this...probably, but she couldn't help but think over how it would have felt to not have her lord here..with the way she feels now, would it really be anything? Was there something wrong with her?

Her black and gold eyes looked back to him once more, after looking over the others who had spoken. Just as he stared back at her. Asking her a question she didn't really need to ponder on. “[color=lightslategray] Of course milord. I will go with you wherever you need of me.[/color]” She stated without any form of hesitation. She was more than certain he wouldn't enjoy the type of love Shammura showed. But maybe he would have rather a more emotional response? To say the least, she knew she wasn't that emotional...even in this response alone, it came off rather mono-toned, with disinterest. But maybe she need to make efforts to take a better stance? Hmm....then again did this all matter? So long as she did her job, was it not better this way? The questions crept into her mind one after the other. But she still had to process what she could while keeping her gaze fixed on both her lord, and those around him. It was always easier that way. To watch in silence, from shadows or far away.

 [color=orange]“Lovely.”[/color]- He said, pausing slightly as he searched for words.-[color=orange]“Uh. Thanks.” [/color]

 While most his guildmates had established personalities for their NPCs, DD didn’t, and he wasn’t sure how he felt about that. He was just thankful that he didn’t write anything silly, like Toasty did. But he understood the guildmaster’s sentiment. The NPCs were indeed their creations and he certainly felt an obligation of sort to them. And he wasn’t going to treat them like servants. 

 [color=orange]“You guys can all come along if you want to.”[/color]- He glanced over at the remaining people in the room, grinning, before walking out with Furiko. –[color=orange]“Could use the help.”[/color]

 However, just as soon as he was out of the Copper Throne, his confident stride faltered. He was no better than any of them when it came to knowledge to this new world. In fact, all he knew came from what he could gather through his crows. Which was not very much, as they couldn’t really fly very far from him. He did notice a forest not far from here, so it might be a good starting point. With luck, he might manage to find something and return by lunchtime.
