"Jeeze, I can't believe I got stuck with a bodyguard..." Leorio groaned, looking at the briefcase in his hand. He took this mission because it paid well and seemed easy- he assumed he'd be good to go on his own because of his hunter licence. He seemed to have assumed wrong though.

"Well I'm sorry, but that one vial of medicine in there is worth more than five hunters put together. You're lucky you're only being accompanied by one bodyguard and not four." Said the old doctor in front of him, who was hunched over in his chair. He'd been kind enough to make sure Leorio got special treatment, but even he couldn't go against what the buyer demanded.

"Luckily, it's the best one in town, so your mission should be as smooth as butter." He smiled, shooing Leorio off to go and meet his bodyguard at the nearby train station. The man reluctantly went, grumbling his whole way there.

Arriving at the station, Leorio started looking around. He was sure his bodyguard would stand out, but when you approached him in your everyday clothes, he couldn't believe it.

"You can't be it- you're not even dressed like a bodyguard! How are you supposed to move in that?" Leorio gestured to your outfit, gaining a glare from you.

"Use gyo, idiot. We're around civilians, all eyes would be on us if I wasn't dressed normally." When you said that, Leorio was taken back. He took a moment and concentrated his aura into his eyes, turning his head away when he saw that you were just masking your appearance.

"What? So you're a conjurer?" Leorio asked, stepping into the train when it arrived. You followed behind him.

"No, I'm a transmuter, but I've learned a few tricks. I read in your file that you're an emitter." Leorio got a little flustered at your knowledge, gritting his teeth.

"I didn't get your file! How come you got to read mine?" He asked, sitting next to you. He took note to hush his voice a little, still glaring daggers at the side of your face while he did.

"Well, considering I only do high profile work, it'd be a little ineffective if my personal information was just handed to anyone." You said, looking up at him with a side glance. He was about to get pissed, but just grumbled, crossing his arms and staring forward.

"...can you at least tell me your name? It'd be a little awkward if I needed help and couldn't call out for you." He closed his eyes, not really expecting an answer.

"|Y-n|." You responded simply, leaning back in your seat and taking a moment to survey the train. Meanwhile, Leorio tried to pretend he wasn't shocked that you would actually give him your name, keeping his arms crossed while he side eyed you. You caught his gaze for a moment, and he immediately looked away, turning his face up.

"Well |Y-n|- I hope you can live up to your title." Leorio huffed, watching as the train flew by. You just smiled, continuing to look around.

"I normally do."

When the train had stopped, you and Leorio hopped off to begin walking. The destination was a day drive away, but it was only because of the long winding road to get to it. By foot, you guys could probably be there in half that time- if you walked in a straight line.
