Ugnis was surprised when he heard the distinct sound of a blade on the relic, but was more surprised as to why not one of the other mercenaries came after him when he caught it. [color=8dc73f]"Weren't they after this?"[/color] he asked himself quietly as he took in the sounds of their breathing, the boy's notably more labored than Sable's. Ugnis understood that exhaustion would have prevented either of them from pursuing the relic, but why had the seemingly normal Crimson Streak suddenly stop and lose interest? [color=8dc73f][i]"I suppose I shouldn't worry about it,"[/i][/color] He thought to himself, perfectly fine with not having to fend them off.

After a silent moment among all of them, he heard a shout come from the boy, posing an important question: what would he do with the relic? Noticing the breathing sleepily slow, Ugnis raised his voice. [color=8dc73f]"Kid, the town's right next to you. At least try to get there before you crash for the night."[/color] He walked towards where the boy was to lend a hand, gathering the possible solutions for the question asked of him. [color=8dc73f][i]"I don't need money, but I don't really want to keep this thing around,"[/i][/color] Ugnis thought, as he rolled the artifact in his hand, feeling the wild energy it seemed to be emitting. [i][color=8dc73f]"I can't give it to the other mercs because they'll probably just sell it, and the boy doesn't want that to happen for some reason."[/color][/i]

Ugnis sighed at the answer he came to. [color=8dc73f]"I suppose I'll be keeping this for now."[/color] he announced, not really wanting the burden to fall on himself. Nonetheless, it felt fulfilling to have it for some reason. He'd just have to work a bit harder to stay calm. Suddenly, Ugnis remembered to do something else. [color=8dc73f]"Say, what's your name anyways, kid?"[/color] He could never tell who someone was unless their name was mentioned. Thus, it became a personal duty for Ugnis to learn every person's name that he came across, especially if they were a fellow mercenary that [i]wasn't[/i] out for his blood.
