Leona seemed to scan upon the pair as they had given their formal introductions to which she seemed to betray no reaction too off her expression. Each one gave their own introduction, and Leona seemed to get an impression of each off it much as they had of her but showed nothing as she passed her empty bottle to Eliane who seemed to sheepishly move it to a recycle bin as she pondered their words and smiled their way.
"Gotta say you seem to be well spoken Alistair. Seems you've been taught well formal educate, though I will say the life of a mage can be a bit messy from time to time, can you cope with that~?" Leona asked, admittedly cheekily, before she had passed her eyes onto Ophelia as Leona seemed to get a different impression out of her.
"Hey, no reason to be nervous. Believe me I know the first day can be a bit worrisome, but I promise I don't bite...much anyway." Leona said with a sly grin before she assumed a more serious look upon the pair.
"Well, Golden Lion is more than happy to accept any who desire to join our happy home, but before I do, I want you each to answer this one question: For what reason, do you desire to become a Guild Mage?" Leona asked, as really it seemed like the most basic of questions, but Leona had considered it to be the most important; much as her appearance suggested otherwise, she wanted more than anything to get an idea of just what magic and the idea of being a Guild Mage meant to any new applicants, to get a core idea really of just who these hopefuls really were.

The bandit gang glanced over at the lone figure who seemed to step up to try stick up for the cabbage merchant though this seemed to not scare the group as they glanced at the lone man and the leader seemed to scoff. "Oh, and how do you expect to do that?" The leader asked, as other members worked to surround him, though he got his answer and it had been one which only caused a shocked alarm among the bandits. Soon five magic circles formed as the bandits were forced to move back as several magical musical notes fired which caused members to dive or roll away as they tried to avoid it; one was smacked in the chest which knocked him along the road.
"Damn it he's a mage, get his legs!" The leader called out as two members tried to circle Linus with a crowbar and baseball bat in each hand and tried to swing at him at once.
