*Arthur continues to nap, until he felt a forceful tugging at his right ear this time. Coupled by the odious and plain rotten smell of the corpse baking in the broad daylight, he snapped up to a sitting position and woke up. As he rose, he instantly recognized Mevis, the macen who helped him with his quest, and also saw a tall, Air Macen in front of him whom he did not recognize. However, he was faintly certain that he saw her before, and was trying to figure out who she was when he caught a whiff of the rotten body sleeping before him. Why did he choose to take a nap next to it, he suddenly did not know. Taking his left hand, he set it aflame, and then set fire to the corpse until it burned to ashes and he couldn't smell it any longer.*
"Now that that's taken care of..." Arthur began. "Why are you here, Mevis?"
Jeffrey
Mevis curses his luck, he didn't want to be seen, but now it's too late. He shifts the oni skull mask to cover his face so that Arthur can't see his embarrassed face. "Me? Oh, well, I couldn't help but overhear that you were heading towards this guild that helps fight criminals. I was interested in it and was hoping we could go together? If not, I understand. Being associated with a weakling like me might hurt your chances in getting in..."

Mai hangs back a bit, seemingly nodding in agreement to what Mevis just said. She looks over to the ashes then back to Arthur "Mind me asking why you had a dead body?"
Luis
*Arthur begins to open his mouth, but quickly closes it. He wonders; what WAS he doing with the dead body? Then he remembered that he had salvaged a soemwhat valuable piece of armor from the cultist it had come from, and Arthur opted to keep this information a secret since he planned on selling said armor later, with a couple of other salvaged items.*
"Er.. Don't ask any strange questions, and don't receive strange answers...?" Arthur says questioningly. Then, ironically, he asked Mai a question. "What are you doing here, exactly?"
Jeffrey
Mai shrugs "Saw this fella following you so I figured to follow him. Anyhow, you ok with us joining you?"
Mevis meekly looks up at you, hoping you say yes.
Luis
*Arthur stares at the two, then looks down. For one, he didn't feel like giving up his bread to two nigh-complete strangers he didn't want following him, but on the other hand, he figured that it gets lonely while youre traveling alone on the road. Reluctantly raising his head, he looks at the pair.*
"Fine, I guess you two could come." Arthur says, with difficulty, slightly red in the cheeks. "I'm planning on hitting the road soon, but first, are you two hungry? I've still got a good amount of bread that I couldn't finish by myself."
Hazel
*Hey, look who it is! A pretty small figure, with a fox tail and ears, and a naginata strapped over his right shoulder, and an engraved, ornate katana on his side. The man had covered his face with his mask, but Arthur will probably recognise him through the weapons and clothes alone. That, and the man's accent, which obviously wasn't Salvainian. He waves at Arthur, that being the only person in the group he recognises.*

"Hey! Who are these people?" *As Arthur has been reminded many times, Hitoshi isn't great at Archidanese, only having known it three months. He says every word with a robotic intonation, and is generally obviously still having trouble with a language so fundamentally different to his own. He points at Mevis and Mai.*
Luis
*Arthur turns and sees a familiar face walking towards him. A fox tail and ears, with a naginata strapped on his back, katana at his side. The man covered his face, but Arthur instantly recognized him. It was Hitoshi, which did puzzle Arthur. Why did he decide to abandon an offer at his job and hit the road? Perhaps he became bored like Arthur, and set off. Waving back at Hitoshi, and as he drew closer he heard him ask a question.
"Hey! Who are these people?" Hitoshi asked Arthur.
"These guys? They're some... People... That I grouped up with on a quest just earlier today." *Arthur points to the small macen boy.* "This here is Mevis. Be nice to him, he's... An odd one." *Arthur then motions to the Air Macen woman.* "I honestly have no idea who this person is, but she seems pretty cool. Although, she doesn't really talk alot. Anyway, what brings you here?"
Hazel
"I was bored. And the directions were bad."

*Hitoshi tries to read the directions he was given.* "Very bad."

*He looks at the Macens, and waves a little.* "Hey." *Normally Hitoshi is very confident and chatty, but it's a little hard to be that when the word "Regret" Is challenging to you.*
Jeffrey
Mevis cautiously waves, his nerves tense by this newcomers arrival. He didn't seem like he was from here. Perhaps a foreigner? Was this actually an ambush? If so, how long ago did Mevis fall into the trap. Mevis curses his stupidity for being so careless, and looks as if he is about to run away from the area.
 Mai on the other hand smiles and gives a curt nod.
"I'm Mai. Nice to meet you. What's your name?"
Hazel
"It's Hitoshi. Good to meet you."

*Hitoshi extends his right hand for a handshake. His gauntlet/handwrap combos are on full display here; there are some razor sharp blades attached to the elbows and forearm, and while Hitoshi clearly takes care of his equipment, there's some chips here and there, showing that Hitoshi has used these many times before.*
Jeffrey
Mai shakes it while Mevis is more hesitant but after confirming it's not laced in poison or anything he shakes it also.
Luis
*Arthur stands up, loaf of bread in mouth. He takes his backpack and puts it back on, and then speaks to the newly assembled group.*
"Well, it looks like our 'party' is in place. HOw about we hit the road?"
*Arthur turns to Hitoshi.*
"Also, for your information, we're heading to the New Sunlight guild to seek out some more quests. I assume you're coming with us as well?"
Hazel
*Hitoshi shrugs again.*

"Eh, whatever."

*Anything that could get him paid. And maybe a little less bored.*
