"Well that is certainly true but I'm not totally defenseless. While it may not look like I have weapons I infact have 2. A quarterstaff and a dagger but I mostly use magic to defend myself. As for armor I prefer robes that give my spells more power."

*Since during her childhood she had to learn a spell to disguise herself as a Macen to hide her many tails that give her uncomfortable attention. If he were to ask her if she was a kemonomimi she would tell him the half truth*
Troy
"Magic magic magic..."

It looks like he drifts off again in a brooding state as if remembering unpleasant stuff from his past
Peter
*Mizuki tilts her head to the side with a look of concern. Did she say something that reminded him of something unpleasant?*

"Oh dear... Did I say something unpleasant again? I'm very sorry if it did."
Troy
He thinks about his mother and her 'accident' before smiling again. "No, not an issue. Tell me, what type of adventure are you looking for?"
John
*Mizuki hasn't really thought about that. What type of adventure was she really looking for? All this time her goal was just adventuring in her parents place and to also get away from her ex fiancé*

"Hmm... The type of adventure I'm looking for? Truth be told I haven't thought about it much but I guess the type of adventure I'm looking for is sightseeing and maybe just looking for something exciting in this life."
Troy
"Be careful what you wish for..." Marcus realizes that he did not consider mercenary work adventure due to the circumstances that put him in that line of work in the first place, but to others that would be a wild adventure. "I have buried plenty of young boys and girls who were looking for so called 'adventure'. It does not pride me to say it but when my former mercenary band fell on hard times we had to rely on many so called young adventurers to fill our ranks because we did not have to pay them much... I have buried many of them. Some of them leave and go on, but their experience with 'adventure' changes the character of a person"
John
"Oh... I'm sorry you had to go through that. I can't imagine how you must've felt... Although with that being said you can call this me being naive but... Nothing will deter me. I've been traveling to different cities and helped a few people here and there. It could be due to my luck but my experience has been good and I want to keep on going. Plus I want to tell my parents many stories of my travels. I'm sure they will enjoy it."
Troy
"Either that or they will have a letter delivered to them about you missing or being gnawed at somewhere in the wilds by wolves after getting mugged. Be careful out there. Even with so called magic you cant stop a crossbow bolt from hitting you when you least expect it in the back. That is why I always wear the best armor I can find."

It seems something grabs his attention

"If you excuse me I have someone I need to talk to"
Velma
*As Doram get closer to this man he starts pulling on his leg saying "Come on Marcus we gotta move are you done with that beer" Suddenly 3 of the same size men look at Doram with the one he was pulling the leg on Doram realizes that that man was not Marcus they seem to all have the same armor and one says "Excuse me young child did you say Marcus" Doram quickly hides his face and skin and higher his voice to sound like a child he did not want them to think that he was a Goblin Doram says "Yes he is a friend of my fathers" The guard now intruged says "He is that Marcus pretty tall has a huge halberd and armor that looks a bit like ours Doram answers as quick as possible "Yes, that is how i know him" Doram then runs off away from the guards away from the city and is hiding in a side street where no one is but the guards now know that Marcus is in the area*
Troy
*Noticing the guards again Marcus gives a rushed goodbye to Tanaka before following Doram and leaving the guards of certain fear of one noblemen lackey recognizing Marcus. He and Doram enter the nearest tavern and start asking around for contracts, starting their day in the capital.*
