Surprised, the girl's eyes seemed to light up when he mentioned his own journey to be a mage. Standing up as he did, as to not make him feel any inferior with those who looked down on him for being a child, there were stars in her eyes as she fondly spoke.
"A mage? My, that's what I have sought to become as well! Or, as I can recall, was always. It's in my interests to become a sage, and as you may have seen, I have a fair bit of spells up my sleeve as well! Nature is my specialty, though I've been doing my best to branch to other magics as well."
"And failing."
"Alas, yes, I've had my fair share of struggles. But enough about me, I'm Aiza, and no need for formalities as 'Ms. or Misses'. Yura is such a reputable name, it suits you so! Tell me about yourself, what spells do you know, and are there any to your mastery or preference? I'll be happy to try and assist you in any way I can!"
Subtly bringing her hand up and down in quick succession, she gave him a friendly handshake with their interlocked hands. But unlike the soft-spoken congenial sociability that Aiza had, Luc's expression remained stern, coldly scouting the area for any signs of danger, seemingly opposed to speaking to the child they had recently saved.
"C'mon, we shouldn't stay around too long. The brigand could bring some of his friends if we stick around."
Waiting to hear her following fotsteps, Aiza gently tugged the child by the hand, before looking at the woman from earlier as well, gently cocking her head a few times with a grin over her face, as if signalling for her to come along as well.
"Ah, Yura, my paramour and I-" "Shut up, you don't even know what that means." "-right. We're looking for someone, and with that, we're a bit in our own world journey as well. We've visited a fair number of places, and if you seek so to see the world, we'd be happy to accompany you. Right, Lucas?"
The knight didn't speak, but he showed his own kind of consideration by waiting for Aiza to catch up before walking again, serving as a sort of guard for the bound dangers in the falling daylight set in the forest. They probably didn't have time to walk too far if they were heading anywhere particular, though Luc reached into one of the few pockets held around his belt, pulling out a remnant. The shard gently glowed when he touched it, and began to hover in front of him. Luc pulled it a little off to his left, and a few linked dots appeared among it's surface, jagged lines connecting each one, while a triangle flashed in the middle.
"We're in a pretty dense forest right now, the nearest village is most likely the one you came from Yura, and the next through this woodland is still pretty far. we might camp a little around here..."
Pressing his gloved hand into a spot on the hovering shard, it would leave a red square. The glowing of it would dim, though it would still remained hovered by his side.
"Is that so? From the looks of it, the substratum of this forest makes it perfect to be one clad of wildberries. We could always have those."
