"I can accompany you though, right?" she asked.

She had nothing better to do and didnt want to be by herself.
She waved her finger in front of the child, creating a string of water. She then pulled and poked the water with her finger, making a star, with a smiley face.

Onoki laughed at Hotaru's warning and held out the flier to her so she could have a look for herself.

"This time I'm not kidding, it's a delivery job. Some old lady wants to give away her books to her grandson. Just a bit of heavy lifting." he nodded to Ryomo, ruffling the boy's hair. "You can tag along if you like, I wouldn't mind the company. Hey bubu, say hello to the nice people."

The little boy stopped trying to grab at the water star and looked up at the girls then scurried off to hide behind Onoki's back.

"Oh so now you get shy, eh?" he chuckled, steering the boy back around himself. "Everyone, this little guy is Jakub. Bubu, these are my guild mates, Ryomo and Hotaru and her friend Ryuu."

"Hello Little One!" Ryomo said happily to the boy. "I'm Ryomo."
She then created a happy miniature octopus. The octopus reached out a tentacle to shake the child's hand.

"Good. I'll come with you then." she said to Onoki.

Hotaru looked at the boy. "Hallo," she said.

Ryuu waved. Then he looked around. He saw a lady and a girl. The lady... was Godiva, and the kid looked almost excactly like her. "Mom, what are we going to do now?" the girl asked enthusiasticly. "What do you want to do?" Godiva asked, smiling back. "I wanna go play!" the girl answered. "Alright!" Godiva replied, ticling the girl. They were both laughing, having fun. Godiva waved to Ryuu and resumed paying attention to the girl.

Ryomo continued creating water shapes and animals. She generally did not like small children, however, this one didnt seem very whiny...or gross and drool-y.

"You can call me Mo-Mo if you'd like." she said as she laughed. "My little brother always calls me Mo-Monkey."

As she said that, she created a monkey tail out of water and made monkey sounds, in an attempt to further entertain and make the child feel comfortable.

Jakub clapped his hands excitedly and shook the water octopus's hand. He gave Ryomo the biggest grin that looked like it would take up his whole face. "Mo-Mo! Mo-Mo!"

Onoki somehow managed to cram everything back into his bag and took out a muesli bar to munch on, unwrapping and handing one also over to Jakub.

"Here champ, have something to munch on," he looked to Ryomo, "Well, ready to get started? The lady's house isn't too far from the guild."

Ryomo laughed to herself. 'I've earned my cool points today.' She thought.

"Uh-huh! Ready to go!" she said.

Onoki grinned to himself as he picked up Jakub and whistled to his bag which sprang to life and followed after him. He nodded to Ryuu and Hotaru.

"You guys are welcome to tag along if you want, although I think you probably need some rest 'Taru... you gave us quite a fright last time." he frowned as he remembered what happened in the last mission. He could have sworn the girl had no pulse....

He tried to push the thoughts out of his mind and started off in the direction of the lady's house.

"Onoki is right Hotaru...but if you're up to it. I won't object." Ryomo said as she threw a fist to the air.

"I'll be fine. I'm not a problem. Ignore her," she said, pointing to Godiva. She looked at the child. "Hello. This you mom?"

"Yep!" the girl replied. Hotaru glared at Godiva.
