"I will purchase... two of those... three of those... one of those... mmm... make it three."

The shopkeeper, his portly 5'0" intimidated by her lean 7'3", had carefully placed two croissants, three muffins, and three bagels inside of a large paper bag and handed it to Dhalma. Taking the bag, Dhalma began to walk around the second floor. Not for any reason in particular. After all, this was her first time being an explorer. She hadn't taken any missions yet, nor had she been trained in anything special. That test was, for all intents and purposes, a cake walk for her. Rather than test skills, they tested for raw attributes - strength, agility, anything of the sort - and Dhalma's strength easily let her complete the exam.

Her guild card, her gaze affixed on it, was the sign that she was an explorer. It was the sign that she would put her life in danger at every turn. It meant that she would help Eunia grow. But, for her, it was a way out of that damnable household. Politics be damned, Dhalma cared not for her extended family. Dhalma was incredibly lost in thought - so much so that the only reason why she didn't collide with anyone was of her large size.

She hadn't realized that, in a matter of minutes, she had already eaten everything she bought.

And she was still hungry.

Deciding to just get a full meal, Dhalma went back to search for someone who sold something hearty. However, that search was cut short by a strange little girl yelling about joining her. Obviously nervous, the girl proclaimed things about needing people to come with her. Perhaps out of impulse, perhaps out of pity for the stammering youth, Dhalma walked towards her.

"I'll accompany you." She told the small girl, her voice unwavering and direct.
