The magical quill tapped softly on the table as Vali stacked the last of the handwritten notes on the growing pile before he stood up.  Flavi still soundly slept, prompting the marksman to turn around to look at her one more time as he headed for the door.  He couldn't help but let a smile curve his lips, finally realizing that this was the brotherhood that he should have aspired for a decade ago.  A true family didn't ask for their own to murder another just to save their own skin.  A true family didn't leave their weakest to the slaughter as those in the higher echelons watched on in apathy.  He nodded his head at this realization, and soon he tightened the sling of his rifle before he left the library with steps as quiet as the calm before a storm.

As he arrived at the staircase, he noted that the guild had calmed down from its previous disarray.  A good number of the members already stripped most of the job postings from the board, and Vali assumed that whatever he got would just be the runt of the litter in terms of requirements and reward.  He dodged the roaming members who still busied themselves around the guild hall, and as he headed for the remaining postings, he heard a voice that piqued his interest:  poor people, medicine, and near proximity.  Those were three strikes that immediately alerted the repentant bandit as he turned his sights in the direction of the guild's resident Celestial Mage, Sara.  She was one of the kinder members of Dragon Heart, and her kind, hazel eyes reflected the gentleness of her soul as she looked at anyone with equal respect.  Unlike some others he could name, Sarah opted for the non-violent way to end her conflicts-- something that Vali admired greatly about the woman.  In fact, he wasn't surprised to discover that she was the one suggesting the job posting to Damian and another girl by the name of Trixie.

When Vali saw the smaller, red-haired woman, a disappointed sigh escaped his lips.  Trixie was definitely the opposite to Sara, and Vali could already sense that he would clash with this girl without a second thought.  Her reputation for being rash, boisterous, and impulsive was known throughout the guild, and given enough power, she may have a chance at dethroning Vega.  Seeing Sara offer the job to Trixie was almost enough to make the marksman walk away.

But, he had rent to pay, bullets to hoard, and a cuckoo clock to fix.  Beggars couldn't be choosers.

"Hey, Sara,"  Vali called out as he sauntered over to the triad.  "I heard that you're going for a job with sick, marginalized individuals."  The sniper reached the trio before looking at the other two.  "Sir Damian,"  Vali nodded to the A-ranked mage before doing the same with Trixie.  "Trixie."  Valishin turned his sight back to Sara before smiling at her.  "I've always wanted to try developing my healing bullets, and I think I can help in trying to alleviate their sickness if I can improve my Guns Magic with them."

He had never worked with these people before, preferring to work alone since snipers could not afford too much companions since it would give their locations away.  However, if this was just something as simple as helping afflicted peasants, then, he could make some leeway.

"I'd be happy to join you all in this quest.  I've lived with the poor all my life, and I find it hard to resist their cries."  Vali addressed the three.  "I want to make their lives better."
