Wolfram looked at Hotaru as if she were some sort of holy angel descended from heaven to aid him in his time of dire need, which as far as he was concerned she was, at least from a metaphorical standpoint. The poor man looked about ready to cry tears of joy at the unexpected kindness of this girl he had just met, though he held back out of a sense of propriety as a priest. He wouldn't have to potentially sully the reputation of the Church or his own as one of its' premiere agents by sleeping on the street and begging for money and food! Not to mention a local shrine might make an excellent place to begin his observations of the Imaginary District, especially with a local guide in the form of this girl and her spirit assistants.

"Oh bless you miss! I promise you the Church will look kindly on you for such a kindhearted deed! When I can I'll even see to it that you're reimbursed the full cost of my staying with you once I get back on my feet! I promise you won't regret it one bit! If you like I can even help out in some way, with cleaning or shopping or something if nothing else!"

He stood up and smiled at her, his woes mostly forgotten now that he wasn't in immediate peril of homelessness. There was still the question of how to proceed with his mission, but so far the so-called 'Imaginary District' certainly hadn't proven to be the hotbed of bloodthirsty monsters and illegal sorcery that the more conservative members of the Church and Exorcist Corps had no doubt feared it to be. He certainly hoped his initial impression was right. After all, his job might be necessary but it would be a shame to have to go to work in such a nice seeming place.
