Despite all of her complaining, Taotie didn't exactly feel anything when she got passed around or in general really. That didn't mean that she didn't have her pride however as she mentally stared on towards Silas' barrage of questions. In any case she did put this upon herself so she wasn't entirely blameless in the grand scheme of things but it didn't prevent her from moping a little until she was finally ready to answer his questions.

'No need to barrage me with so many questions so quickly. Regardless I'm feeling a little kinder than usual so I'll answer a couple of your questions in turn but not for free of course. You seem to be a nut for random knowledge so what do you know about sentient weapons already? As for the questions you asked me, I somewhat remember being a human before but not all of the details and no I don't know how I became like this or who did so to me before you ask.' She responded sounding rather full of herself despite her diminutive figure.

It wouldn't take very long fortunately for the group to descend into the dungeon where both peril and treasure likely waited. While there was a good chance that most of said treasures wouldn't be useful for a literal staff like Taotie, she still held out some hope that the things here could end up being useful towards her attaining a proper body. If not then at the very least she hoped that whatever monsters lived here weren't strong enough to completely wipe out her 'bodyguards'.

'Well it would be a little inconvenient if they did...regardless stop talking about that kind of stuff unless you secretly wish to jinx us all to death!' Scattered as her memories be, her knowledge on tropes still remained mostly intact as she ranted over the Archer's choice of words. Her knowledge was mostly lacking on just what exactly the culture in this world was like but even they must know that speaking events into existence was a real thing that brought upon its own set of consequences.

Regardless, the group's path ahead seemed to splinter off into three separate paths which all likely contained their own separate set of challenges that they would have to face along the way. She was tempted to go with the centre path herself before she soon stopped her thoughts. It did look a little too...'clean' after all despite how straight forward it looked which irked her wrong way. Not to mention the fact that one of their allies wanted to get their grubby hands on her already which she likely would have rolled her eyes at if she could. 'Ugh, is he really that desperate to talk to me? Well...as long as I'm not doing so for free then I'm willing to answer a couple of his questions so that he won't constantly bother me about them. As for the paths, the centre looks way too simple so let's go with the right path instead since it obviously looks used by someone who's still living and breathing down there.'

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.

'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!' 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. '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.'

It always felt weird for Taotie to go to 'sleep' considering her current predicament. She didn't have a biological body by any means so she didn't need to rest the same way most other people had to outside of taking a break once in a while to avoid passing out from too much mental exertion. Even so she still retained her usual sleeping habits, both during the long stretches of time that she had spent alone and even now after getting taken in by her little adventuring group who seemed content enough to take her in despite her status. It was better than rotting in some storage cupboard anyways but it did mean that she was at the mercy of whatever hijinks they subjected her to and today seemed like one of those days.

'Ugh, why do I feel so much rocking...wait a minute this isn't the guild.' Taotie slowly pointed out as she came to and indeed she'd be correct in her assumption as gone were the familiar walls of the guild and what replaced them seemed to be a wide expanse of farm land that currently contained an oddly coloured bunch of people. Something much too grand for a simply picking the fields of whatever crops they had or taking care of whatever dirty animals the farm possessed which could only mean one thing. 'You're on another one of those quest things aren't you? And it looks like this time its the giant guy who's carrying me around, what use do you have for a staff anyways? You don't seem like the studious or thinking type.' She plainly stated seeing as she had the misfortune of missing out the entirety of whatever briefing they went through in her slumber.
