[color=Crimson][i]Okay, she's smiling and not trying to kill me, right? So why do I still feel like I'm not out of the woods yet? Damn this seal, it was so useful to be able to tell when people were pissed or not without having to actually being empathetic. Ugh, why is socializing so hard?[/i][/color] Argus let the red-haired woman take her plate back with a nervous laugh, immediately starting to fidget with his hair again as he tried to think of a way to make up for what he did. Looking aroun d, he noticed that a few of the staff where glaring daggers at him, a few even going off to get the needed cleaning supplies. [color=Crimson][i]Great, now the staff hate me. Ugh.. . . Wait! I can fix this. I can fix this, I can totally fix this![/i][/color] While Ash introduced herself, Argus quietly cast Crimson God's Blessing on the food, the destructive properties of the magic causing it all to quickly disintegrate into naught but dust, and even the dust faded away into further nothingness soon after.

The small silence while Ash awaited Argus to return her greeting shocked the slayer out of his focus, and he quickly ceased his actions as he worked to formulate his next words carefully. [color=Crimson][i]Come on Argus, you can do this. Just introduce yourself, make some small talk, say she looks nice? Is that appropriate? Is that what I should say? Ugh, people are so much more terrifying when you have to talk with words instead of fists and magic. This may have been a mistake . . . and I haven't even tasted the food yet.[/i][/color] 

[color=Crimson]"Uh, My name's Argus, Argus Leandros. I joined a little bit before you did, I think, so i don't know a lot of the people here either." [i]And a good number of those I do know don't like me all that much.[/i][/color] Argus fell a bit silent afterwards, trying to thing of something to say too fill the possible void. [color=Crimson]"Umm, you look pretty, um, good in the whole uniform . . . thing. Probably better than I do, heh. I kinda feel like I'm about to suffocate myself, Things way too restrictive and tight. Geez, if we were to have to fight in these, it'd be horrible. . . though, that's probably too be expected since they're not, uh, fighting clothes. . . *cough*. . . soooooo. . . . . what do you do, ya know, in regards to magic?"[/color]
