Shola:Damn..

Mirrah:I am terribly sorry..

Erina:We are here if-

Asta:I dont need pity. I'm here because I did what needed to be done.

Mirrah:We were just simply sy-

Asta:Sympathizing with me. Yeah no,not needed. I know you don't trust me.

Erina:How?!

Asta:Your Ki is a dead give away. Like the this guy here.

*Asta instantly draws the blade and points it at a thief*

Thief:EEK!!

Mirrah:Why you-

Asta:What is it you want.

Thief:Just your gold sir.

Asta:Well if I had any then i'd let you take it.

Shola:Sorry what!?

Erina:What do you mean Sir Asta!?

Asta:If he resorted to thievery then he needs it more than me. Plus I can always get more.

Thief:You serious?!

Asta:I am. What is your name?

Thief:My name?

Asta:Yes.

Thief:I don't have one.

Asta:I see. I have a deal for you.

Thief:Alright.

Asta:You bring me useful gear and you can steal anything you want.

Thief:Really! Anything I want!?

Asta:Anything.

Thief:Deal!

Asta:Good. From here on out you work for me.

Thief:Yes sir!

Asta:Well im not naming you. You are a grown man.

Thief:Hmmm.

Erina:Rat.

Asta:Shut it.

Mirrah:This is ridiculous.

Asta:Something a school or Academy wont teach you is resourcefulness or how to survive.

Shola:Well he seems somewhat grey. I agree with you Asta. We should help him.

Thief:I got it!

Asta:?

Greirat:Greirat!

Erina & Mirrah:Tch!

Asta:Shola?

Shola:It had a nice ring to it.

Greirat:Then it's settled. I'm Greirat.

Asta:Well lets rest up. We have to find a way to the Capital Lands.

Greirat:Oh there? I'll guide you.

Asta:You know how to get there?

Greirat:Its where I live.

Asta:Alright then. We'll head there first thing tomorrow.

Shola:Right!

*The next moring they head out to their objective*

Greirat:Through here.

Mirrah:*Pinching her nose*Through the sewers!?

Greirat:Its the only way unless you want to fight your way through the entrance to the slums.
