Firefly look up at inazuma city but she begged the question cause it was clear from his attitude that there was something wrong "After I end up talking to the adventurers guild.... What plans do you have?" That is to ask if he plans to stay with her for awhile or go their seperate ways. Given that she needed time break the awkward silence.

"You're asking the least knowledgeable person. I don't know the inner workings of the Adventurer's Guild, outside of them cleaning up the messes of the common human across whatever nation they're in. How I see it, they'll give you a job, but what you do afterwards is entirely up to you." From his wording, they'll be traveling for quite some time afterwards. There wasn't a chance she'd survive out there on her own, given what he's seen. Inazuma City lakes gates, instead signifying you were in the City from the large Sakura tress, stone pathways and a Watermill. But that's just the start. Stone staircases were ahead of them, leading to the top of the Hill.

"......I meant if you'll be traveling with me afterwards but you answered that indirectly. So thank you." Seems like they both responded with a far cry from their answers. She was about to pull out her phone but decided to keep it in her pocket as to not grab attention. She'd continue to walk beside him, even grabbing a petal that fell from a tree and taking a look at it. She couldn't help but say "I think we both said a little more than we needed to there." She joked.

"Don't you think we've discussed that enough for one day?" The Wanderer had intentionally avoided discussing the subject again. All it did was subtly annoy him to think about getting dragged around while in public. He shook his head off, ascending the first set of stairs. They were far from straight, making multiple turns and just leaving one to wonder just why they were designed like this. The next part of the City was more lively, featuring additional building and shops on both sides of the street.

Firefly was a woman who wanted to know basically full scale missions. Shes a need to know basis. However wanderer was a little confused on his intentions. In the one hand he wasn't very succinct with his long term plans. On the other hand he wanted to stick around. Whoever was his moral compass must really gave him on a short leash. She wasnt going to entertain his bad attitude though so she treated him like kid, not talking. Besides she can't give him attitude, he's helping her. But that privilege may only go so far. "Sorry, I wanted to clarify." She kept her gentle demeanor.

"Mhm. The Adventurers you're looking for is right over there." The Wanderer pointed towards the Adventurer's Guild embassy, standing to the right once you reached the top of this shirt flight of stairs. Asides from it's obvious architectural differences, it functioned exactly the same as each one that existed across the nations. He stepped up the flight of stairs to gesture towards it, subtly glancing towards the Receptionist stationed there, waiting for Firefly.

"Thank you." Though as firefly walked over she realized that now she'd have to stick with her story. Fontaine, wasn't a fan of its restrictions, came to Inuzuma. That is assuming no one else saw that she falling from the sky. "Hello, I'd like to register for the adventurers guild." She said to the receptionist.

The Wanderer observed the entire sign-in process. Truth be told, he was completely foreign to this whole operation. Despite its origins hailing from Snezhnaya and that playing a significant role in its success, none of his operations even remotely involved them. Just the perks of the organization functioning separately from the Fatui. He did observe them handing Firefly a paper to obtain a uniform, given *most* of it's members wore one. Once the Receptionist had stepped away and returned to her duties, he felt comfortable enough to step forward. "Could've gone worse. At least she isn't the type to ask questions."

"It could be.... I'm just glad they are flexible about the uniform. I've worn one in the past and I think I'm done wearing them.... But it'll still make good clothes..." she'd hold them under her arm. She'd then look in the mission board just ti get an idea of what missions awaited her future. If she used Sam she could probably clear out the area in a heart beat.... That's if though. She'd then look back at him and notice his glowing vision. This is something she's only seen once but didn't want to risk getting exposed on being an outsider so she'd start to walk away from the board for now since she needs to rest. Once they were in the street where there's less people that were closer she'd ask "So...what is that gem you have?"
