At some point it was decided that the group would take a simple job to test out their skills. That was fine, he was expecting something like that. Aura picked out a job to rescue a girl from a small group of bandits in the woods. Even if he wasn't particularly looking foward to dealing with bandits, being a hero, and sweeping some girl off her feet was an exciting idea. It was also in the woods, which meant there would be animals there. The person who offered the job was even offering 40,000 Jewel for the girl's safe return. Even though he knew that amount wouldn't be all his, it was still more money than he ever had in his whole life. Maybe joining this guild couldn't be that bad after all.

As the two senior members of the guild were discussing things, Tim was then greeted by the guy at the counter, who called himself Beau. Tim waved hello, and smiled sheepishly. "T-thanks. Um... it's going well so far." 

Right at that moment, the guildmaster showed up. She seemed like everything a Guildmaster should be. A good leader, but not too intimidating. She made an announcement stating that she would be gone for a few days. Just as she was getting ready to leave, Fisk asked about getting Volcalia and himself marked. Tim's eyes widened, and he started shivering when Fisk mentioned branding them with a Cattle Iron [i]What?![/i] The young water mage thought. He knew this guild had a tradition of marking their members, but that sounded a little extreme."Uh...t...t...that isn't gonna hurt... is it?" He asked nervously. The boy was squeamish around doctor needles, let alone getting branded by a hot iron. Getting tattooed wasn't something he was particularly looking foward to.
