[color=DDDCE1]"Nice to meet you...[i]yawn[/i] Ariel. Welcome to the guild...."[/color] She wasn't sure why the woman started patting her on the head, but Akemi didn't seem to mind much. Either that or she was wholly distracted by the tail she had found herself enamored by, one of the two.

[color=DDDCE1]"Hourly check-ins? I can do that."[/color] As if only just catching that comment by Jenna, Akemi belatedly agreed even though she wasn't sure why they needed to do that. Everyone here could look after themselves, but suppose Zen had told her similar before so maybe it was to keep an eye on her health? Quite possibly a factor, but she did finally notice Amelia as well. Oh. They were bringing a child with them? Of course, such an ironic thought was lost on Akemi, but she supposed she had better be on the lookout for the girl as well.

[color=DDDCE1]"....pixie?[/color]" She wasn't exactly sure what Dangelo was talking about, but he seemed like a nice guy so she just gave him a wave as he made his way out. Still not sure what the Pixie comment was all about but she was more occupied with the tails than much else so didn't give it much thought otherwise. But supposed that meant it was her, Ky, her new friend Ariel, this D'angelo fellow, and uh...Akemi wasn't entirely too sure who this girl was but she also seemed nice and friendly!

She would be able to tell Zen she was able to make some new friends when he got back!

[color=DDDCE1]"Mhmm. I'm Akemi, and you?"[/color] Without really straying far from Ariel's tail, she extended a hand out to Amelia in greeting. Of course, she had still yet to tidy up her look, so her hair and clothes were still a mess so this might in turn extend a poor first impression onto Amelia, but Akemi also seemed half asleep as she spoke so there was that.

After an exchange of pleasantries and some more little small talk, Akemi glanced back over the flier to see where exactly it was they were heading. Didn't really state a job location but she assumed they would either have to head to area of the town where nobles resided, or to the train station. Once she got it clarified from Jenna which one they were to head to, unless someone had something else to say or do, suppose they would be off.

....though she still didn't stray far from that tail.

Ok, so capturing the beast was fine. Or rather, whatever it took to get the job done and everyone back safely in one piece. Adelyn hoped that satisfied whatever it was that was compelling Mark to be so focused on that point and now began to think to the job ahead. She wasn't sure why this guard...Sergeant was it? Eh, his rank didn't mean much to her, but she just wasn't entirely sure why he seemed so concerned about this job. It was a simple monster beating request wasn't it?

Of course, Adelyn had never done one before, as her father had...well suppose it was best to say she hadn't been allowed to do any with much combat or public awareness in general. Always left in the background, never in the foreground. 'Retrieve this book', 'fill out this paperwork'. Tch. She shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that right now, she had a job to focus on. But her brothers had always spoke of it as something so easy, even she could do it despite her lack of talent. 

So then why...why was all this talk of the beast making her feel uncomfortable all of a sudden?

[color=BFB4B0]"Suppose that's settled then. Capture it seems to be the preferred first option, but kill it if we have to. Seems like decent enough groundwork with flexibility to plan around, but to even make a plan in the first place we need to find the creature and see what we're up against. Lead the way Sergant Monreu."[/color] There wasn't really much else to be said on the matter after all, not anything that they couldn't be filled in on the way to the forest anyway. And then once there, it was a simple matter of drawing the beast out and making a plan around what it may entail.

Everything always did sound much simpler said rather than done, didn't it...
