Having been caught off guard by the sudden carriage, Vară jumped in surprise - quickly adopting a defensive stance and preparing a fire spell. Upon closer inspection however, she soon wore an expression of cute shock when it was revealed that Neil and Talia were the ones on board. [color=ed1c24]“Wha…*ahem* I mean, I didn’t expect to see you two here. You really shouldn’t try to surprise me like that, I could’ve charred you both to cinders! Honestly…”[/color] She gently flicked her bangs away from her face, then placed a hand on her hip whilst looking up at her new company. [color=ed1c24]“Well, I suppose I can’t argue with Neil’s logic, I will allow you the honor of escorting me to my destination.”[/color] She promptly hopped aboard the carriage, hiding the fact that her feet were tired and sore from the walk. 

Vară could do little to hide the blush covering her face when Neil announced that he will be joining her on this quest; Talia would leave them to their devices while buying supplies for the Guild. She looked away for a moment, cheeks still rosy. Her arms were folded in her lap, eyes darting back and forth, and she had a nervous fidget. [color=ed1c24]“Uh...I...I see.. That...sounds good.”[/color] She nervously peeped. She was snapped out of her stupor, however, when Neil starts trailing on about his insecurities. 

[color=ed1c24]“You shouldn’t say things like that! Everyone has their value, the other members have special advantages and experience yes, but you can be every bit as useful! Have you forgotten that you saved my life once? I honestly think you should have more confidence in yourself, everyone starts somewhere after all. You should have more pride in yourself, Neil.”[/color] She ended her sentence with a warm smile. 

Finally catching herself, Vară turned to the side, scratching her cheek with an awkward expression. She surprised herself, not even she knew where all that came from. I really hope none of that sounded corny, she thought to herself. She tried to change the subject in order to break the awkwardness. 

[color=ed1c24]“So, this Ian North person, how much do you know about him? Does he seem like someone we would want to work with?”[/color]

Nagare saw Freyr, Haley, and Sir Reed walk up and greeted them with a bow. She listened intently as Sir Reed sharply warned them about the dangers of taking on warrior mamono; not only were they really strong, but apparently they are wooed by the combat prowess of strong male fighters. She quickly looked to Dtizy to reiterate the weight of Sir Reed’s words, but she just as quickly saw that this seemed to spur him on even more. She could only sigh at her comrade, she at this point but all too familiar with his ways. She then turned to Freyr, who she wasn’t aware was in a relationship with Haley. 

[color=00aeef]“Goodness Freyr-san, I had no idea about you and Miss Haley~ I’m so happy for the both of you!”[/color] She daintily clasped her hands together and tilted her head to the side. She then gasped when she thought about how the implications of the quest might affect their relationship. That was until Haley revealed that she might be okay with it if it came down to it. 

[color=00aeef]“Oh my… I believe those would be one of those ‘harems’ I’ve heard some speak of before.”[/color] Still worried about Ditzy, even though by his people’s standards was considered an adult, turned to Ada. [color=00aeef]“Perhaps we should help kind an eye on the boys, things have become quite complicated it seems.”[/color] Ditzy was already making his way out the door, and unless there was anything else to go over Nagare would soon follow.
