Akihide held onto Riveria's leg, the older elf sighing as she looked down at the child. "I need to go Akihide. This expedition is important."

As she learnt, whilst Akihide was capable of acting mature for his age, he was just as, if not more capable of acting his age, which included doing things that made no sense or throwing temper tantrums, much like he was doing now. He held onto her leg like it was the end of the world, adamentally refusing to let Riveria go anywhere until she agreed to take him with her.

"I wanna go!" he screamed out, still clinging to her leg with strength impressive for a seven year old. "Take me with you! I wanna get stronger!"

"Absolutely not!" yelled Riveria, putting her figurative foot down. "We are going to Floor 50, you're 10 years too young to even think about going that deep! Get a grip and lose the one on my leg!"

Riveria then tried once more to shake him off. She was by no means using her full power, since as a fully capable level 5 on the brink of level 6, she could very easily hurt him in a way that was permanent, even if she was a mage. So she simply kicked her leg around like a normal person, Akihide somehow managing to hold on despite the fact he was still quite malnourished from his time on the streets and wilds before he joined the Loki Familia.

Eventually, Riveria was able to pry the young boy off her leg. She set the young renard down, to which he was immediately scooped up by Loki, much to his chagrin. "Now you listen here Akihide, you are going to be nice and respectful to your teacher, do everything they say and never question them. Don't bring shame to the Loki Familia by acting like a brat in front of someone from another Familia. Do I make myself clear?"

Akihide responded with a grunt and turning his head away from the elf, crossing his arms in a cross manner which could only be described as incredibly cute. Riveria was having none of it, but decided that she had entertained the young boy long enough. "I'm heading out, Loki, Akihide."

"Stay safe out there, Mama!" called back Loki, smiling in her usual mischievous way.

Riveria glared back at her. "Who are you calling Mama?" she asked, before closing the door, and making her way to the Dungeon.

And so, in the Twilight Manor, Loki and Akihide were left all alone. It was the first time in a while that Loki had been left basically on her own, but she at least had a fun new toy to play with. "Well then, my cute little child, we have a few hours before we head out to meet your trainer, so how about we have some fun before we head out?" she sang, which caused Akihide to go from angry at Riveria to confused at what his new Goddess had in store for him. "We could go out to grab some stuff while Riveria is out, fun stuff that she never lets us get when she's here."

Akihide looked down, seemingly weighing his options for a moment, before nodding, thinking it was a good way to get back at Riveria for not taking him to the dungeon. Loki smiled, her mission to corrupt the young renard was coming along nicely. "Let's pay a certain shop a visit. I hope you like wine little man!"

The only thing that came out of Akihide's mouth was a questioning "Wine?", before he suddenly finding him being dragged away to the streets of Orario.

"Today, I introduce my newest child to the glory that is alcohol! Rejoice, Akihide Okami, for your life is about to change!" sang Loki, dragging the child away with her, a look mixed with confusion, anxiety and exhaustion spread across his face.
