Looking around, there was surprisingly a lot of people who seemed to be undertaking this dungeon run that had essentially been strung onto her out of nowhere by Aster and Talos. Of course she would go on it regardless since it beat sitting around in the guild's storage closet but that didn't mean she was feeling excited to be out here like some of the other adventurers were. At the very least, her status as a staff meant that she wouldn't have to worry about being caught up in any sort of trap or being subjected to an ambush she couldn't prepare for which was a plus. Not to mention the fact that she wouldn't even need to interact with anyone here too unless they really caught her eye, well that was until Aster exposed her identity to rest of the group which ruined all of her chances at remaining anonymous. [color=FFD700]'Really? was there a need for that? I'd rather not have anybody get their grubby hands all over me when it's impossible for me to clean myself in the first place!'[/color] As always, Taotie wasn't afraid to let her grievances be known even if only one person could actually hear them at the moment. Regardless they deserved to be said in spite of the fact that an inanimate object like her had no agency whatsoever. [color=FFD700]'Well what's done is done. At the very least if something happens to you, the people here will have second thoughts on simply burying me alongside you.'[/color]
