The children were admittedly taken aback by Theo's sudden offer.
For one, they had not expected a guild to ask to be commissioned.
After nearly two years of tagging along with his mother, Yno was painfully aware of how these things usually went. Guilds would never really volunteer unless the mission was in those places their mother called MCZs. In every other case, it usually took a lot of begging just to get someone to accept her request.
He had been young then, Ysa even younger. But he clearly remembered the long waits, the careful wording, and the quiet disappointment when another request was politely turned down.
And now someone was suddenly offering?
Who wouldn't be stunned?
But the second problem hit them a heartbeat later.
Money.
Yno stiffened.
Ysa's smile faltered.
They both looked at each other at the same time, excitement draining as reality crashed down on them in full force.
They were children.
