He might have laughed at that first part if she didn't seem to be so honest about it "That's...helpful." She seemed liked she was proud of her answer. 'Licking it' didn't seem that helpful but luckily the rest of her information was normal. It meant that there was no one that would come to help them except for passing adventurers, but not all of them can be trusted not to just steal your stuff and run.

The questions turned back on him. He was about to mention he was not a human but he didn't care too much about that "It's this or nothing for me. I've put my heart and soul into training for the past four years. Being an adventurer is all I got." He answered plainly, little emotion flowing into his voice. It was not the whole reason. He wanted to better. Stronger. Wiser. Wealthier. Everything he didn't have yet.

Voltaire let her take the lead, following with a intense look in his eyes. His grip on the dagger grew tighter as they moved into the dungeon, as did the tension is his shoulders. It would be a lie to say he wasn't at least a little nervous "Right." He responded quickly, adjusting his footing.

He was busy taking in the sight of the dungeon, his head turning towards Koph "What do you do if you get hurt?" That was not all, Koph said she had some questions for him too "Ask your questions and I will answer them if I want to." He thought that was fair, his past he didn't care about talking about.

Voltaire was struggling with one of the straps as Koph ran off "W-wait Koph-san!" Desperately he tried to keep up and finish putting the chest-plate on. Mily called out to them as they left the Guild Hall, raising their hand to their mouth "Keep safe, meow!" The voice trailing quickly off.

It wasn't until they hit the morning traffic of Orario that they finally managed to slow down some and he was able to finish equipping his beginner's armor. He was going to say something to Koph but instead he looked around in awe. This was the morning march to the dungeon that he'd watch every morning. Adventurers of all skill levels moving en-masse to the dungeon...and now he was a part of that. This was it, the moment he had been dreaming of for so long.

The tower seemed so much taller as they came into the grand plaza, his chest feeling lighter than a feather. It was only Koph's voice that snapped him back into reality. He took the dagger out from the leather sheathe, that he had strapped to his left arm, and looked it over before putting it back "It will have to do. I mean, gotta start somewhere right?" He was so excited he missed Koph calling him the wrong name. He walked passed her on the way to the dungeon's entrance, looking back "I got you watching my back. A dagger will be plenty." He smiled gently.

Voltaire would earn his first weapon himself, it was a simple matter of his pride as adventurer and a man. A picture of his dream weapon already floated in his mind. A sword that can shift into a long range whip, while wearing a claw-gauntlet on his other hand. It would be an expensive weapon to order, but it was a dream he could work towards. As he stood on top of the elevator-platform alongside Koph, He declared that his days of squalor were over. Today, everything would change for the better.

Voltaire looked at Koph's with an envious look in his eyes. It was so well-crafted and its design complimented Koph well. He on the other hand had nothing so he would have to accept the guild's free hand-out that they gave to new adventurers, a basic armor chest-plate and a iron dagger.

He was ready to follow Koph out of the house when their goddess called them back, offering them wise words...that he took to heart. Voltaire found extra strength in knowing he was not only fighting for himself, but for the honor of his goddess. A hesitant look filled his features as Koph hugged Amaterasu....did he have to do that? He wasn't really the hugging type.

Voltaire walked back to his goddess with a determined grin "And will a bag full of Valis!" He exclaimed proudly. Amaterasu smiled softly as her arms reached out around his neck and pulled him close in a motherly embrace "I'm sure you will. I'll be waiting to hear all about your first trip into the dungeon, Voltaire-kun." A slight redness rose in his cheeks before he managed to escape and the duo headed out the door.

After a short walk, passing many other adventurers on the way, Koph and Voltaire arrived at the Guild Hall where many others were either trading in monster stones or speaking with the several Guild Advisors on staff. The moment they walked in, Koph's assigned adivsor, Mily Kot, waved to them with a bright smile on their face as they called out them "Oh it's mew, Koph-san!"

They were almost bouncing with energy, the blue-pink hetero-chromia giving a very distinct quality to their gaze "Mew is this? A mew adventurer-nya?" They leaned over the counter somewhat, a small grin on their lips while their eyes squinted suggestively.

This girl is a guild employee? Voltaire wondered as they stood at Mily's booth "U-uh yes. I'm a new member of the Amaterasu familia. My name is Voltaire Belemont." He stated, it was surprisingly intimidating to be talking to a cute girl.

Mily jumped back and bent down to retrieve something from underneath the counter, smiling brightly as they did so "Okay-nya. Mew need to sign these papers-nyah. I shall go get mew a set of the basic gear-nya." They said happily, placing small stack of papers onto the counter with a fancy pen. Mily then practically skipped father behind the counter-top to a back-room and disappeared. Voltaire tediously filled out the papers and by the time Mily came back, they were done "Here mew go!" A front breast-plate and an iron dagger were given to Voltaire as Mily took the papers "Looks like I will be taking care of both of mew!"

A concerned look that could be confused with a pout crossed their face "Are mew going together?" She asked in a rhetorical question "It's usually a good idea to do mew first day alone-nya." They closed their eyes and almost comically held their pointer finger up in the air next to their head "It is important that first-time adventurers understand the dangers of the dungeon-nya." Even this action, was done with an absurd about of enthusiasm.

I gotta say you got me pretty interested. I love world-building and Sci-fi and fantasy are my two favorite genres.

Voltaire turned his attention immediately towards Solome, after all he was the one who brought Voltaire into this familia "Yes I did. Thank you for the bed." He spoke with gratitude and Solomesimply nodded in response, a wizened grin on his face.

There was hardly time for Voltaire to begin eating as Koph started to throw information at him. It came so quickly he barely caught any of it "Huh?" His mouth partly full with food. Thankfully Solome explained at a pace that wasn't mad. It was soothing to know that this breakfast was a sort of custom, and that Solome was willing to support him. Koph seemed like great company so far but it was a relief to have someone with their head on tighter.

Silver-blue eyes blinked as Koph eagerly demanded he speed through his breakfast, and it worked. He scarfed down what he had left, coughing a little on the last bite. "Alright, alright. I'm done." A single hand was used to wipe away a bit of food that got caught on the corner of his mouth.

Cleaning the kitchen was often a chore he had at the orphanage, so this little amount of work was nothing. The name however he wouldn't so easily accept "Its 'Voltaire', not 'Voltar'." He corrected as he rose from his seat and collected the dishes from the table "And I'll get the dishes." His name was only possession give to him by his birth family, so he tended to cherish it.

He quickly got the impression that Koph was kind of touchy. Personal space in the orphanage has been a luxury so it did not bother him, though he had his limits. A part of him was disappointed that he would not be be going alone into the dungeon. He had something to prove after all. Still, he would not object.

His eyes followed her hands, which he noticed to be constantly tapping. Was she that full of energy or was it a nervous habit? When her fingersstopped, her hips took their place and her attitude made him lean towards the former "Yeah dying is definitely not good." He lightly laughed.

He softly sighed "Its Vol-" he barely managed to say before Koph darted out of the bedroom "Ah nevermind." He lamented as he chased after her, leading finally to the kitchen which seemed a bit cramped. There Amaterasu-sama awaited them "Good morning Voltaire. I hope you are hungry." She stated with a pleased look in her eyes.

His eyes looked suspiciously at the food laid out on the table, not used to having some make food with him in mind "Yes, I'm starving in fact." A glad smile creased his lips as he sat down. He heard that familia were often like families, so this must be part of that.

Voltaire managed to relax as he swung his legs off the side of the bed and stood up. Now that they stood side by side, he found he was barely an inch higher maybe even less. He had pretty much fallen asleep in his normal clohtes, a light blue-gray t-shirt and black trousers but her outfit was far more exotic. He stared down at her hand after hearing her give her name and in turn ask for his. Not as edible? Squid poor grow? What a weird amazon she was. Silver-blue eyes met Koph's as sent out his own hand and gripped her forearm, well as least she wasn't that bad to look at "Voltaire Belemont, And it's 'Quid pro quo' I think." A half-smile curved on his lips, his voice near maturity but not quite there.

The half-smile soon faded as the part he bypassed came back to mind "Wait, partners?" Confusion gripped his expression. That was not something he expected to be told right out of the gate.

The moment that Voltaire had received his blessing he wanted to march into the dungeon right there and then. Amaterasu was pretty quick to remind him that he had neither a weapon or a guild advisor, both were fairly important to have before venturing into the dungeon. Besides the two facts, She expressed concern for his health and insisted that he rest for the night.

"Here. You can have Solome's bed. Make sure you get plenty of rest." The smile on the goddess's face was one he could not argue with, her voice filled with kindness "Alright, but tomorrow I can go to the dungeon?" He asked while lowering his body onto the bed "One step at a time my child. I'll see you once you wake up. There might even be another member of our familia waiting to greet you." With that said, she left him alone with a smile. Voltaire laid his head on the pillow, looking up at the ceiling. Now that the excitement had died down, he discovered that he far more tired than he thought. Within moments, the young adventurer was out cold in a heavy slumber.

His exhaustion had been so great that no dreams passed through his mind while he slept. Voltaire was so deeply in this sleep that he could not feel his body being examined and prodded nor the shift in the bed. It had honestly been the best sleep he had in a long time. Soon though, it was time to awake. His arms were the first indication he was waking up as they stretched up above his head. They soon returned as he rubbed the sleep from his silver-blue eyes so that he could open them fully. The sight of Koph looming over him caused him to nearly jump out of the bed. A shock running through his body as sat up in the bed now, his heart racing and chest tightening. Everything calmed down a little as he saw that it was girl, well an Amazon actually.

Fingers ran up his face and into his mess of hair, before looking over at the silent watcher "What a wake-up call..." Voltaire mumbled, the last thing he expected to wake up to was another person looking over him. Was this that other familia member Amaterasu-sama mentioned before? "Would you mind telling me who you are?" He asked plainly, she had certainly jump-started his body's wake up sequence.
