Horace would shrug as Persefone pointed at the floor with their expression, leaning down to claim his prize, though it be small. *"Hey, todays finally looking up isn't it? Never thought someone would just give away their money like this..."* He would get back up with a slouched posture looking up and over at the Neko who appeared to be lecturing him.

"But i do work for my living... Do you not realize stealing is as hard as other jobs? I risk my life every day just trying to feed myself. Who are you to lecture me about my job? Why do i have to give to the people when no one has given to me?"

Horace would of gone on a long rant about society if not for the girls sudden departure towards the random object. He would turn and approach it himself, glaring at it... His curiosity would be great, but his need to steal greater... His left hand would begin twitching again.

*Upon touching the staff it would feel strangely light but also powerful like the whole object just adapted to Persefone's mass. All of the people that were there would suddenly be able to hear the voice of a woman* "W-What happened? Why am I-I here now?" *The voice said as it strangely seemed to be coming from the staff. The metal was just shining from being struck by the light of the sun and the beautiful crystal orb made any light that was passing through it a beautiful shade of blue. The object seemed to be very expensive just judging from the feel but all the dirt sort of hid that part of the staff. Seraphina was confused she didn't know what she was doing outside of the cart... Wait did she fall?!? Thank goodness someone finally picked her up but still where is she now? Is she already in New Salvainia?*

Perséfone looked toward the staff with curious eyes and a slightly serious expression. As a female voice suddenly came out from the staff, the kitsune widened her eyes and arched an eyebrow. *"What?! This staff can talk? Or there's someone inside this thing?"* She thought for a moment, staring at the staff with her heterochromatic eyes.

"How can you talk?!"

*... Did he really just try to make that argument? Amsu stood there, practically fuming, as he watched the guy turn over to look at the staff. Of course, the thief would then look at the staff and be practically drooling at the idea to steal it. The nerve of this man to blame other people for his lifestyle that leeched off of those willing to work for themselves..! If it wasn't for the random voice that forced itself into his head, Amsu would have begun reaching for his cane so he could give Horace a good thwack on the back of his head!*

*So... A magic item that could talk? That was something Amsu hadn't really heard of before. Was it even possible? Just that fact alone made Amsu think that this staff had to have been very special. Special enough that the caravan would have paid a lot of money for, or had spent a very long time crafting... He can't let these two rascals get their hands on it!! It needed to be returned post haste, as these two were way too untrustworthy!!!*

"I'm not done with you! You can't just blame everyone for not giving back to you when all of you've done is take! You're just being selfish and morally blind!! Also, lady! You can't just let him get away with stealing from other people! You're fueling his twisted mind set and letting him reason out these kinds of things!! If you want to give him those silver coins, fine, but that staff is going back to the caravan!!!"

Horace would turn back to Amsu, his left hand ceasing to twitch as his attention was drawn away from the item.

"Look kid, I don't need you lecturing me with your petty philosophy. Its not like its gonna change anything, I've already dug my grave... Its not like i chose this life, its just something in my head that forces my hand..." Horace mumbled the last sentence. 

Turning his attention back to the staff he'd arch an eye brow at the staff, *"A talking staff, huh? That's a first"* Though, his hand wouldn't twitch the second time as he saw the staff more person than item. Though he wasn't as panicked as the girl before him was he was still confused. He would decide to answer the staffs questions.

"Your in New Salvainia, you just fell off that caravan cart... Who are you?"
