Valishin allowed a small smile to grace his lips at the endearing show of affection between the crimson-haired lad and his sister, Juno.  The teasing banter between the two reminded the sniper of the tapestries of a childhood long gone, just before their parents were taken away from him and his siblings.  Memories of fresh snow falling like drops of starlight upon an asphalt pavement with three children dancing and laughing hit the marksman like hammer against concrete-- he was dazed at a distant past, and it took a moment before Vali registered in his head that the lad had introduced himself.  Vali nodded in acknowledgement, smiling at the siblings before he introduced himself.

"I'm Vali, marksman at your service."  Valishin spoke in a calm tone, like how two strangers tried to bumble their way towards conversation.  "Nice to finally be acquainted with both of you, Argus and Juno.  Don't worry, I'll watch over him."  The sniper vowed as he chuckled with amusement at the sister's coddling of Argus.  However, his vow was not one just for show.  In the few times that Vali did work with a few members, he always swore to watch over them-- to keep them safe.  It was his own self-enforced penance for the thirty-two innocent lives he took, which gave birth to a promise never to take an innocent life nor to let one slip through his sights.  The quest they were going did not seem dangerous, but every guild member knew how quick the turn from easy to cursed.  One moment the mages would just be felling trees, and another moment, they would already be fighting a malevolent murder of spirits.  

The life of a mage never promised a ride back home, but if Valishin had anything to say about it, he would do his damned best to make sure that he brought home each ally he had in one piece.

His gaze turned to Sara, and at once, he recalled how she had ignored him for quite a long time.  These slight quirks and misdemeanors rarely evoked a response from Vali, but at this moment, he felt a slight heat coursing through his spine downwards to his legs, shooting out in tendrils, at the thought that this woman would blatantly ignore one of her own.  It was telling what kind of a person she embodied since Vali swore he would never treat one of his own like how she did so.  What did brotherhood and the guild mean to her?  Even now, he found no guild member yet who embodied the true attitude of one who treated each other like family.  Human nature dictated that they keep their friends close and their enemies at bay; Vali was no exception, he fully admitted that he had flaws especially when it came to treating Vega.

He had no reason to confront her, though, but Vali stored that memory at the recesses of his head for future reference.   

"I've still got a lot of ammunition in my satchel 'ere, but if ya'll decide to meet up later, I'm dandy with freshening up first."  Vali offered.  "I'm ready when ya'll are."
