As soon as they touched her she would jump, immedietly attempting to stand only to fall over onto her side, inhaling sharply.
"Wh-wh-what the hell?!-"
She honestly didnt think the two of them could seperate like this.
"𝐵𝒽 𝓏𝓂𝓎 𝓆𝒾𝓏𝓎 𝒽𝒶𝒻 𝓇𝓎𝒾𝒹𝒹𝒽 𝓋𝑜𝓇𝓎 𝓍𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓋 𝓌𝓊𝓆𝓂𝓏..."
|| Translation: By the gate you really are a sad sight
[The devil would float down and flick the side of the thief's head]
"𝒲𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝓊𝓅. 𝐼𝓉𝓈 𝓇𝓊𝒹𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝒾𝑔𝓃𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝓅𝑒𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒."
It would be up to them... the thief is so damned warn out that she hasnt even noticed them... she is just sat down with her back to a wall... blankly staring at another wall infront of her.
She couldnt even stop them from picking her up if she wanted to.
"O-Oh uhm... I-I... I hope any combat training I under go will include non l-lethal attacks..."
Just from that alone he can probably tell this girl would have problems going for the kill if she needed to...
That wont be to much of a hassle for her truth be told... unless he passes out... there is no way she can lift him, esepcially if he is in armor.
"S-So i'll just have to stay by your side for the forseeable future?-"
A realization dawned on her+
❝ Its not rocket science, I can teach you. Essentially, the people who used you are unlikely to reveal themselves to you if im around, so I'll always be around!❞
He has ignored the fact that his squire also needs to guide his drunk ass back home sometimes--
As soon as meal planning came up she got a bit less nervous, and her face even shown a slight hint of excitement.
"I-I-I can do that!- ah- ahem... th-the meal planning part... i d-dont know anything about the rest..."
She was quick to seemingly shoot her own excitement down...
He let out his Boisterous laugh
❝That's why you'll be my squire! You'll help me with maintaining my weapon, armor, helping me put it on and off, as well as meal planning if you have the skills, I need lots of Nutrition!❞
He said with his hands on his hips.
She was already nervous, but its clear she was only getting more nervous now.
"I uhm... a-are you sure i cant just... b-be in the backround so-so to speak? Im uh... j-just this alone has been more interaction ive had in years..."

He gestured with his pen in a circle motion.
❝This whole operation is going to need your best acting at times, you'll stay here in Nod-krai, until it's time for the Knights of Favonius to go home again.
And you're coming with me, your family is already in Mondstadt. ❞
Neffer's name makes her go pale... seems they have a reputation...
"M-M-Miss Neffer? I-I hope that debt isnt related t-to my case..."
She had taken off the helmet once they reached the meeting room.
"She's the last person you ever want to be indebted to..."
with a faceguard and handing it over to her.
❝And if they think they can find my weakness? They would still be dealing with either Hexenzirkul mages, or the Knights of Favonius, and i doubt they have the man power to fight either of us.❞
She didnt really know what to say... he has good points but part pf her still wants to protest.
Instead she simply takes the helmet and places it over her head, her body immedietly relaxing slightly now that her face is hidden.
with a faceguard and handing it over to her.
❝And if they think they can find my weakness? They would still be dealing with either Hexenzirkul mages, or the Knights of Favonius, and i doubt they have the man power to fight either of us.❞
"Yo-you got the light keepers involved???-"
This seems to suprise her, as she thought the light keepers would be more focussed on more pressing matters.
"Th...thank you..."
She would finally step out from the alley way, though she did keep her head down.
She'll need time+
❝Maybe if it were just you, but in this situation, theyre a family protected by not only the Lightkeepers, but by the Knights of Favonius too.❞
He would pat her back reassuredly.
❝Lets get you in some armor!❞
The statement about her family puts a saddened, conflicted look on her face.
"I-I cant deny that I would want to... b-but... doing so would only put them in danger due to being associated with me..."
There is something else stopping her from seeing them to... nut compared to+
