"I did not expect it to be like this..."
A spoon filled with the sweet, sugary goodness of a strawberry ice cream sundae entered the mouth of the one and only Deniel Decayuss Thorman. Quite possibly the first time he was looking innocent, Deniel was treating himself to what was literally his favorite food of all time. The spoon entered his mouth, and when it came out, it was wiped clean. Deniel's jaw made motions of chewing before he swallowed the blended strawberry and ice cream. Deniel was sitting on the middle of his personal bed with his legs crossed over one another. The boots that he usually wore were neatly placed on the edge of his bed, each of his gloves were neatly folded and sitting upon the tips of both of them, and his black coat was hung up by a coat holder that was nailed to his door. In his left hand Deniel held the bottom to a glass cup that carried his sugary snack, and his right hand carried the spoon that just came out of his mouth.
Once he swallowed the ice cream that he had in his mouth, Deniel closed his eyes and smiled. "Yummy! These things never get old!" Deniel spoke in a much higher pitch than he did before, and the look on his face was almost like a little kid. Deniel scooped up more ice cream inside of his spoon and put it inside of his mouth once again. "I swear, Deniel...if anyone sees you like this...you can kiss your reputation good-bye." His black katana Nidhogg was resting against Deniel's shoulder while he feasted on his delicious sundae. If it had a face, it would be giving off a sweat-drop. Deniel kept his eyes closed, and the happy look on his face didn't vanish. He swallowed the ice cream once again and took up another scoop. "Reputation? Don't be ridiculous. No one in this guild even knows who I am or that I exist." Deniel put the spoon inside of his mouth once again for several moments, and then pulled it right out. His snack was starting to run low, as he was almost finished with it, but that didn't bother him.
"Well..." Nidhogg didn't sound too convinced about Deniel's argument, "There's Zeno and Kyll. They know who you are." Deniel opened his eyes and put another spoonful of his sundae inside of his mouth again. He stared up at the ceiling as he thought about what Nidhogg said. The blade did have a point, but not much of a good one. "Hmmm well," he started his sentence with his mouth full, and then continued it once he swallowed his ice cream again. "What's the chances of either one of them coming to me? I'm nobody. Plus, it's not like I have a good reputation with either of them, anyway. First impressions....weren't the good." Deniel looked a little upset while he thought about what happened the firs time he had met either of them. "He kicked my ass..." he said and the image of Zeno effortlessly tossing him around came up. "And she kicked my ass." Another image of Kyll laughing and taunting at him during the exam came up, much to his own annoyance.
He shook the images out of his mind and quickly finished his sundae in just a few seconds. "Bottom line is that no one saw me, Nidhogg." He uncrossed his legs and placed the empty glass cup beside his bed. He took Nidhogg and leaned him against the side of his bed. The blade didn't seem satisfied or convinced, but there wasn't anything he could say about it. "How about we do a job?" Nidhogg asked Deniel this out of the blue, hoping to change the subject and get Deniel to do something else other than acting like a fool. Deniel had just finished placing down the glass cup and Nidhogg, and his eyes glanced over to the blade. He thought about the question in silence for several seconds. The childish look was wiped off of his face, and was replaced with his typical cocky smirk. "You need to ask?!" Deniel's hand reached under his bed, and that's where he pulled out a huge pile of papers.
They were all requests that he had kept stashed under his bed so that he wouldn't need to leave his room to take on a job. He shuffled through the papers, looking only at the titles of them. If any of the titles caught his interest, he would take a look at the rest of the job. One in particular caught his interest in the title "Giants of the North." He snatched that paper out of the pile and placed the rest of them on the side of his bed next to him. His eyes gazed down the description of the job, "Sounds fun...but I think it's too dangerous to do by myself." Deniel bit his cheek, looking very disappointed about it. "Can't you just ask someone to do it with you?" Nidhogg retorted right away, but had completely forgotten about Deniel's argument earlier. Deniel nearly burst out laughing from Nidhogg's reply, but instead gave out a blunt one. "Remember what I said? No one in this guild knows I exist. Who the Hell could I take out on this job, Nidhogg?"
