Van was somewhat both glad and worried when Keiri said that she was going as well. He was glad that his partner was coming along with him to fight side by side with other people to take out a common threat to humanity. However, he was also worried that her presence might disrupt his focus, tactics and interaction with the party, come to think of it, there might be more female there than expected. So either way, things would be difficult for him in combat.

But it didn't matter, he grabbed his weapon and waited for Keiri to get ready for the mission. Assuming that she finished, he headed off with Keiri towards the village. Of course, he kept a very slight distance away from her and continued to refrain from having eye contact at all cost. But, he did gave some effort on trying to hold a firm, good conversation with her along the way.

Upon arriving at the village, Van saw a group of people gathered in a spot and getting acquainted with one another. He was right on the money, there was another female in the group. But, to his surprise, it was the girl that he saw before at the library. He narrowed his eyes and examined her face, he confirmed that it was really her. Afterwards, he closed his eyes and faced Keiri at his side.

"S-so, w-want to come over there and say hi?"

He blushed slightly, his face was stern yet somewhat frightened at the same time. As he was talking, he began pondering the possibilities of the adversary that they were about to face, or rather hunt down.

''So we're up against a large, unidentified grimm that was able to wipe out a small village... with five hunters here, I see no problems on taking it down. I'm sure these people are very strong, having been trained and accepted in Beacon... but from experience, it's very reckless to underestimate your opponent. So I will use my full strength in battle this time... ''

With that thought, he grasped his weapon, and readied himself for the possibility of him being forced to use Wailing Dark and his cursed blade.
