"No need. Let me do so myself", He would rather do these things himself. There was no need to trouble anyone else

Step by step, Zoro approached Bell...

"My name is Roronoa Zoro, and I come from a faar away land",

Stretching his right hand for a shake,

"We're going to be together from now, it's going to be fun", Zoro said smiling

Bell looked towards Hestia who confirmed it with a nod

"Oh, nice to meet you Mr Zoro. I am Bell Cranel and..."

Bell was at a loss of words. He was never really all that good at this, especially with someone he just met but he finished his greetings by shaking hands.

"So, uh before anything, how did I get here?", He remembered the last time losing consciousness inside dungeon and then waking up here so who brought him here.

"Let Lili explain that"

"How is your wound Lily?"

"You finally remembered the poor old me Mister Bell"

"No. I was just....", Bell tried to talk, flustered

"Forget it", waving her hands "Here's what happened after you lost consciousness"

.....

"I am truly thankful for all your help", Bell said kneeling on the ground in front of Zoro

"Do you fellows have a habit of kneeling down to everyone. Just forget it kid and stand straight like a man should", Zoro forcefully jerked Bell to stand up

"Anyway, if you're truly thankful, why not prepare some food. I've been starving since earlier"

"I'm not goo...."

"Not asking you either"

"Why not eat outside an celebrate it? We did get ourselves a new family member and I can see miss supporter carrying a lot of monster stones. They should make up a lot of money", Hestia suggested while looking towards Lily's Backpack. It truly was full

"Good idea so where is it. Oh, and it should also have some good booz"

Hestia: "You do know there's a miner here"

Zoro: "He doesn't have to drink"

Bell: "I know of a good place"

Hestia: "The hostess of fertility"

"Yea...."

"let's go Lily to exchange the stones and...."

"Not so fast. Since you've gone through such a tough battle, why not update the status first?", Hestia took out the same pin. She knew and understood Bell quite a bit by now and just as expected, hearing the status update, the boy literally jumped up in excitement

"Oooooh I almost forgot about that. Yes, please do it fast. I want to see what I got"

"Keep it down a bit. Come lay down here"

Once he did, Hestia used the pin to draw out a drop of her blood and have it fall upon Bells back. Once it did, the falna lit up. Falna is the grace, often referred to as blessing, given by the celestials to their familia members. Those given this falna can then go out and do stuff. Everything they do turns into what is known as 'excelia' and this excelia can raise their 'status' making them stronger in the process. The amount of excelia obtained depends upon the difficulty of the task completed. Those tasks could be anything, from fighting to smithing to potion creating and everything else imaginable.
