Once Fenrir appeared, Barras nodded and brought them away from everyone else. His eyes looked left and right as if something sketchy was about to happen. She, once again wondered what was wrong with her friend. Her eyes would once in awhile look over at him to make sure everything was alright. While she was doing that, she tried to act happy with a fake smile that could fool anyone. Once they were away from the public, Barras spoke. ''Not sure if you heard or noticed, but there have been many rumors that have to do with that very cave right there.'' he started and looked towards the cave itself where people were still surrounding it.
''I'm quite interested in it to be quite frank with you two. I heard there's a rare metal inside and it could be used to forge weapons and armor far stronger than anything else I've ever dealt with.'' he once against spoke while doing hand movements in exaggerating ways to explain. ''Imagine! Me! Having the best metals of all time to create swords and shields.'' he said and took a deep breather. ''I'll pay you if you will venture inside the cave, look for the metal and see if it even exists because if it does... I'll finally be able to create my dream gears.'' he reported.
Arisa didn't see the big deal out of it, but if it helped them then why not? Arisa enjoyed helping people while also getting stronger. Her head turned towards to look at Fenrir. ''Alright, you ready?'' she questioned. If he said yes, she would happily go on towards the cave, but if he said no, she'd wait for him. Either way it was time to go.
Once he was ready - if he ever was, they went inside the cave. Before it happened, Arisa accepted the quest with a simple yet strong handshake towards/with Barras. He had a smile of happiness and to her it was worth it. 'I can at least find that a positive of today.' she spoke as if having some tally score board. She thought of the last thing he did say to them, the part where he explained that it will be like some blue stone-like rock as it'd glow. It reminded her of those cave mushrooms that glowed as well and they were too blue, but they were a light blue.
They successfully got into the cavern by telling some kid to throw a rock at them in which he was later chased. It was a good idea at the time, but the kid didn't mind since they said it was okay. Sighing softly, Arisa and Fenrir walked inside the cave and with her wandering eyes she wondered on where to go. There were several pathways and most of them were blocked of by fallen rocks. ''Let's get these rocks moved away from this way.'' she spoke and walked towards where the path was. For reasons to leave things behind so one doesn't get lost, she grabbed some of those rocks and pebbles. One by one, her and perhaps Fenrir if he decided to help, removed the rocks from their path. They weren't super heavy, but they were enough to where it was a lot faster because he was there... ''Thank you.~'' she said softly with an assure-like smile. It was warm and she still was wondering on what was wrong... Was it her?
They were finally done with setting the stones and rocks aside, away from the path. She left small little rocks behind so they wouldn't get lost as they continued on their walk. She wasn't sure on what to say to him as she didn't want to bother him anymore than she already felt. Finally, after several minutes her eyes light up. 'Mmm?~' she wondered and saw that some light appeared and it was letting her see so much better than a few seconds ago. ''So curious...'' she whispered and walked towards the certain area to be then stopped at a sudden thud of her heart and saw that there was a huge whole. ''Nnnnn... that was close. Stupid move coming from me... Haha...'' she said nervously and then went over it with her partner. If he had anything to say, she would listen to him of course and answer back respectively.
She stopped once they were over - away the huge black hole to end up seeing three pathways. ''Well... You go one way and I'll go the other? If nothing then we will both go to the last one...'' she spoke and pointed to the far right path. She will go to the middle path, he will go to the left path. Once again she left tracks so she wouldn't get lost once again.
The silence felt so real between them... ''I wonder what's wrong with him....'' she mumbled as her feet kicked the ground. Dust was being left behind, but that was nothing compared to the rocks she was leaving behind. She at least thought it was a smart idea, right? She started to wonder if Fenrir found anything useful or good as this path ended up being some dead end. ''Well... this was a waste of time.'' she spoke to herself and walked back. Once she got to the start of where they were before, she waited for him if he wasn't there already. If he was, they'd start going to the middle path in hopes that they will find what they were looking for. If Fenrir didn't come with her inside the cavern at all then she would end up doing all that by herself taking twice the time.
She felt like she was doing this all by herself anyways and rather or not he was following, she will get this done. Arisa was determined as all hell to get stronger, for herself and friends. She walked within the silence in hope that Fenrir would join her or say something if he already did join her. There was a lot of guessing, but that was okay since people had to guess sometimes. She let one hand trail against the cave wall, feeling the texture of the rough designs of nature.
The other hand was letting down rock particles after another so she wouldn't get lost and if that wasn't going to work, she also was sliding the side of her right leg to leave a trail. The third thing she also did was feel the texture of the wall with that very free hand so she will know where she was going. Finally, she saw some metal that seemed to be the rock material that Barras was talking about. ''Found it... Good.'' she said softly and then with her knowledge of its' location she went back while also being careful of that huge hole she almost fell in. Her eyes saw the light as she still saw the guard scolding the kid who threw a rock at him. She held her giggle and went passed all the rune knights to end up talking to Barras. After she told him the information, he gladly rewarded for the work. It was too bad that she had to do it alone in the end. Where did that guy go anyways? Fenrir... Her eyes rolled as she couldn't believe someone would ditch someone during a mission.
