What did she miss while she was sleeping? Maxie frowned as he listened to what Nidhogg how to say. He was about to make a retort, when suddenly Nidhogg's shoulder burst open and blood sprayed everywhere around of Maxie and Jane. Jane watched with wide, panicky eyes as a huge glob of it landed smack on her torso and head. Suddenly trembling she fell to her knees and began to hyperventilate as Manami simply sat there in shock at what just unfolded, now that she had finally stop covering her eyes, while Shiro seemed to look even more confused. Maxie on the other hand had rushed to his sisters side and was consoling her before he went and grabbed Nidhogg by the scruff of his new shirt, but it didn't really work all that well considering Maxie was a couple of inches shorter. "[color=f26522]You fucker! If you wanna go, just say so. I'll rip you apart.[/color]" He hissed angrily before he suddenly found himself pushed away and back onto his seat. As he looked up to see who the culprit was, it was Manami as she stood between the two men. "[color=00aeef]Max my dear, calm yourself and your sister down. Nidhogg, please stop antagonizing them. As much as I would love to see you two duke it out, I would rather you two don't destroy the city. And if you two did....well who exactly said we needed to not blow our covers?[/color]" Manami said calmly as she looked from one man to the other, her face still obviously flustered from before. However she gave Maxie a smug grin at the last comment, and a mocking tone to match. Maxie was furious. His entire demanour and facial expression gave that away, however he simply clenched his fists and went back to the still frozen to the spot Jane. "[color=f26522]Come Jane, we don't have the time to waste here...Let's get you cleaned up, then we'll go find Ash's trail. Manami, I expect some sort of written report by the time I come back. And Nidhogg pull a stunt like that again, and being Georgie's pet still won't save you.[/color]" Maxie said over his shoulder, not even bothering to hide the hostility in his tone before helping Jane to her feet and the both of them leaving the room for the bathroom. Turning to Nidhogg, Manami chuckled slightly before shaking her head. "[color=00aeef]I sorta feel sorry for Jane. If you take out her brother complex, she's not too bad. But it's always amusing watching Max get like that.[/color]" Manami giggled before she twirled back towards Shiro. "[color=00aeef]Let's get dressed Shiro. Big day ahead, more slayers to get rid off.[/color]" Manami said cheerfully before pausing and half turning back to Nidhogg. "[color=00aeef]Also in my defense Nidhogg, he was my 'prey' first. I'd been looking for him for some time. It just so happened he was in the cross-hairs of your rage yesterday at the same stage we had tracked him down. And the grimoire itself isn't really that powerful....though I had never considered a fake.[/color]" Manami added with a sweet, endearing smile which soon turned to a thoughtful look. She soon shuddered as she realised that if it was a fake....she was the first on Georgie's list for delivering it to her. Sure, she mightn't be killed....but Georgie had numerous things which she could do which were worse than death. "[color=7ea7d8]I apologise for yesterday Nidhogg-sama. However, Manami-sama's orders are absolute.[/color]" Shiro bowed apologetically towards the necrotic mage as her usual listless voice made the apology seem rather weak. However, it was probably as genuine as Shiro could make it. However she still wouldn't apologise unless she meant it.

Why would he interfere? He mightn't be a good people person, and horribly inexperienced in fighting decent opponents...however he is still able to see malice or intent in attacks....somewhat. "[color=ed1c24]Um...ok?[/color]" He replied slowly. He had assumed that they were friends, and he had read in some history text that some slayers liked to spar (*cough*natsu*cough*) each other to test themselves.....In fact a lot wizards had a friendly match to test themselves. So this guy was also a slayer? Interesting to learn. "[color=ed1c24]Armor? I never thought about that.[/color]" Cody turned back to James and replied thoughtfully. Naturally with his magic, he wouldn't exactly need armor so the thought had never crossed his mind. However, if he was training to use a sword and he wasn't using his magic then perhaps armor would certainly be helpful...especially after how sore he felt now. He allowed himself one last lingering glance towards Amaya before awaiting for James to lead him the way to a armory, or wherever they planned on getting this armor.

Hostage? Why were light guilds taking little girls hostage? "[color=9e0b0f]Really? Jeez, what did you do to piss them, and him in particular, off? I didn't think legal guilds had it in them to take hostages.[/color]" Ash replied with a soft laugh without realizing fully what she had just said. Though it could be taken in many ways. However she still wore her frown. "[color=9e0b0f]And here I thought joining a legal guild would be getting me out of this kind of business.[/color]" Ash mumbled softly under her breath as she looked off into the distance thoughtfully. First they were most likely here to kill some plague victims, now she found out they were kidnapping little girls? Turns out these 'legal' guilds mightn't be too different from dark guilds after all. "[color=9e0b0f]Just stay by me kid. You seem to be interesting, so let's walk and talk.[/color]" Ash said as her demeanor seemed to change rather rapidly to all smiles again before she ruffled Isla's white hair playfully.
