When Emlyn jumped down and tried to stare daggers at him before his anger burned out, Auriel simply stood there, staring back into the other boy's eyes. He was a bit surprised that nothing happened, but relieved. Auriel wasn't sure what to do after Jack and Savan started laughing. They clearly weren't very serious about the entire situation as it was. They already seemed like a pair of good friends just having fun doing whatever they felt like. Meanwhile, he and Emlyn didn't have much going for them. The team was already fighting, and nobody wanted to sit down and talk things out. The real problem was Emlyn's attitude. Yes, Jack and Savan were acting rudely now, but Emlyn had snapped over a little nickname. Now, the guy was red as a tomato from the laughter, and looked defeated, before turning and making his way out of the room.

Looking between the door and his other teammates, Auriel sighed. "I'm going after him. Have fun playing cards." Holding his demeanor together, Auriel quickly went out the door after Emlyn, calling after the other boy. "Emlyn, wait. You need to lighten up. They were just trying to enjoy themselves. It was a nickname. Do you think I was honored or super thrilled when you started calling me Aury? No, frankly I thought it was silly, but I didn't [i]freak out[/i] over it like someone had just insulted my mother and my sister. I don't want this team to crash and burn, but if that's gonna happen you're gonna have to put up with your fair share of stupid shit. I didn't ask to be leader of this team. I just wanted to come here to learn how to fight monsters. But Beacon decided to make me team leader, so we all have to put up with it. Emlyn, just try to deal with these guys, alright?"
