Of course he would not act on anything while on the ride home. Just more or less get to know folks before getting home. Not to mention talking to others would certainly make the trip a bit more enjoyable. It was only a mere twenty minutes before he reached the meeting spot on the outskirts of town. Right outside of crocus there was a giant forest that surrounded the area with various paths that went to different cities. Roman let out a big yawn before looking around and down at his watch. He would only wait near the path were the carriage was supposed to be. It was not long before he heard the clopping of hooves hitting the pavement behind him. Roughly ten minutes had passed by before the carriage arrived. It stopped and Roman looked around for a moment as if he was waiting for others.

“Hey there, pretty, are you looking for a ride?” said a stranger she just walked past, not even bothering to answer, but the question made her think for a moment and after a few steps, she stopped, turning to face the man who wore a sly smirk.
“How much to Oak Town?” she asked in a serious tone, but the man gave her a confused look and then began to laugh, which revealed the nature of their question. “Pfft, fuck off,” said the phantom with a grimace as she immediately spun on her heels and continued walking.
It took a while, but finally Bianca reached the outskirts of Crocus, where she could see a forest. She wasn’t sweating yet, but she could feel her arm starting to ache a lot. Almost exactly the moment she arrived, she could hear the sound of hooves hitting the earth which caught her attention immediately. It was definitely a carriage. Perfect timing. She almost ran to it, asking the carriage driver if there was an empty seat, to which the driver replied with a nod and just told her to pay. She fished out some jewels from her purse and handed it to the driver, then got on the carriage, dropping her bags in the space in front of her and huffing out of exhaustion. Her cheeks were pretty red and puffy as well.

The carriage would only tug a bit before pulling off with the two inside as the horses began to move forward. They weren't running so there was no fear of whip lash thankfully. Roman looked around in the carriage before breaking the ice with the female. “The name is Roman Astoria, but you can call me Roman. Pretty nice travel arrangements for such short notice.” His words would come off as a friendly tone to make sure he meant no harm for the moment. For once he started off giving his name, maybe it was she was a female compared to the last few lads he met. He finally was able to examine her quickly as his eyes scanned her up and down. 'Particular ears, yet another new race of beings that inhabit this planet. First the wolf boy now this pointed ear gal.' He was recapping his mental notes but made sure not to draw attention to her differences to not offend her. He could tell there was something different about her just through smell alone. She would not know it but dragon slayer's have a keen sense of smell and he knew when someone was not a normal mage. He would only look out the window for a moment to admire the scenery as they moved past it. Crocus was getting further and further away each moment that passed by. Thankfully they were on a pleasant path so it was not too bumpy of a trip.
Roman would only chuckle for a moment before speaking to himself out-loud. “You would think by now with magic present in the world we would have found a quicker mode of traveling that is inexpensive. Or not a way point transfer.”

“I’m Bianca Fleur. Thankful that I bumped into this carriage on my way. I actually planned to walk all the way to Oak with these bags because I was in a hurry, but I’d probably have died of exhaustion if I did that,” she told him and chuckled. She noted that this Roman person had a remarkable surname and was dressed quite nicely, she began to ponder upon his social status. Plus, the scent that she was receiving from him told her he was no ordinary man. The phantom turned and gazed at the view of Crocus as it got smaller and smaller. She felt safer now, well at least a lot more than she did a few hours ago when that Shin fellow was chasing her in a park she didn’t exactly know how to navigate out of. Fortunately, luck was on her side and she was able to escape.
The carriage ride was quite smooth, even smoother than the one she had in the city itself, it made her want to fall asleep with how cozy the seat was, but she still felt like having a conversation with this new friend of hers. “Indeed, but they would rather use it to start wars and create monsters,” she said, and then blushed after realising what she had just blurted out to someone she only knew the name of. She kept silent afterwards, eyes cast down to her feet.

It felt nice not having the murderous intent that he usually had. Being a normal human being was nice compared to his usual madness vibe he gave off when interacting with individuals. The ride was fairly nice and the weather was not harsh. This was a pleasant feeling for him compared to some of his past interactions with individuals. She made a comment about starting wars and creating monsters not knowing she was speaking to one. “That is merely human nature grasping at power and nothing less. I can't disagree with the idea of doing such thing. Only the strong will remain and the weak will be crushed under foot.” Just like that his true nature was revealed while he kept a smile on his face. “I myself fancy bloodshed, the world has a way of enforcing the rules of nature.” he would only turn to look out the window while waiting for some response. It wouldn't be long before they arrived.

As she looked through the tiny window that showed her the view in front of the carriage, and she could already spot the hill that Oak Town rested on. A quick rush of adrenaline surged through her as a wide grin spread across her face. She couldn’t wait to get back to her kitchen, make more butter cookies for the guild and herself. Speaking of, she actually brought a jar with her because she just couldn’t live without one, even though she was traveling. There’s one way you could tell if it was really her (in case you were kidnapped invited over by a fake Bianca, not like something like that would ever happen) you could ask her if she liked cookies. If she said no and laughed at you for asking so damn stupid, then there you have your answer. But now that she remembered, Bianca would lean down to unzip one of her bags and bring out a little jar half filled with butter cookies. You could see the glint of excitement in her eyes. She popped the jar open and grabbed one, handing it to Roman. If he declined, she would eat that cookie herself, but if he did, she would take another for herself and then put the jar back in the bag. “I love cookies, by the way. And we’re almost there,” she said, pointing with one finger at the little window to see their destination - Oak Town.
