" I found it hard to trust others but you? There's something different. "

There are some inconsistencies on things and I'm sorry for it ;-;

I wrote this at around 3 am so I was very tired--"

A market bustles with life as the time reaches noon. It was a nice day to get groceries and other small trinkets and toys that one can find in the market. Unbeknownst to all those civilians around them, there among the crowd were hunter exam applicants wandering around, trying to get inside the testing area.

A hum comes from (Y/n) as she lightly tugged on her bow's carrier. Her eyes looked to each stall that she pass by. There was no time to properly look at the odds and ends this small market has to offer to her so she prompted for just a glance. She did not worry about bumping into people, as she walked behind Kurapika. They had a straight line, their movements almost uniform.

The guide talked about things that (Y/n) could not really care to listen to right now. She had her mind occupied. She'll just have someone else fill her in later. Perhaps she'll ask Gon, or better yet, either Leorio and Kurapika. She's already grown fond of the bunch enough to trust them.

The view of a giant building catches the archer's attention. She pulls her focus from her thoughts and on to the area that was in front of her. Her lips curl up to a smile at the sight of it, but she knew that it wouldn't be that obvious. It has to be small, quaint, unable to be recognized by the normal human.

"Woah! That's the place?" Leorio marveled at the sight. His astonishment humors the kiriko guide as he shook his head.

"No, sadly it isn't. This place over here is the entrance to the opening area." The kiriko's son moved closer to a small restaurant just off to the side. It had red lantern like decorations hanging beside the door. The aroma of noodles fills the noses of the applicants. One seemed to be the most interested in dining in.

A low grumble comes from the archer's stomach as it reacted to the various smells in the air. She was hungry, she can't deny that. A soft hum leaves the girl as she looked away, slightly embarrassed. A soft blush gave color to her (s/c) features as she looked away. "I didn't think I was this hungry," (Y/n) mused, "Apologies for the noise."

A light laugh leaves Kurapika's lips as he looked to her. "You don't have to," he responded, "I'm a bit hungry myself."

The navigator looks to the bunch as he approaches the chef. He gives him a glance before ordering food and drinks for the bunch. The group of four brightened up by the looks of it. They each had smiles planted on their faces.

Ah..it was such good new that they were getting treated to food, but her gut is telling her that something's off. Something was telling her that she won't be getting the food that the guide ordered. That was a bother..that meant that she had to pull out more snacks from her carrier. The snacks that she especially for the exam. She might run out.

Well if she knew that she would gain companions during the exam, she would have packed a lot more things in her carrier. Honestly though...she would have never expected meeting a small kid and having him as a friend. Not that she had a problem with that of course. In fact, she actually enjoys how bright and cheerful it is. It was needed in such a stressful situation. It's a refresher for her, really.

Before the kiriko guide left the restaurant, he led the quartet to a room where they would be sitting in for the time being. A smile appears on (Y/n)'s features as she took the forth seat. To her side was Kurapika and Gon, while Leorio sat in front of her.

"The guy ordered a lot of bowls," Leorio mused, grinning from ear to ear, "Which bowls are you gonna get? I'm gonna get the beef bowl for sure!"

A laugh comes from (Y/n) as she watched the pre-med excitement. She too could relate to what he was feeling, but she had some doubt in her chest. Of course, even if it sounds like a free meal, she doubts that they'll get to eat anything.
