Kensen waved off Gage’s little threat, mostly because he knew he wasn’t going to actually do anything just now or bother remembering later. It was hardly anything malicious, but it wasn’t as if Gage wouldn’t try to beat him up if given the chance. His status protected himself from these things, not until Taliya decided to hit him instead. She never really did though, at least not to intentionally cause him pain or distress whereas Gage would happily do so. He understood he wasn’t particularly liked in the group concerning how long he had been around and what status he held, but that was for them to decide on how they dealt with that without resorting to violence. He was too valuable to them to lose, he doubted any of them would know what to do if they lost him when nobody could do what he could do. He didn’t want to think of it as pride but rather being glad he found somewhere he could belong finally, even if they hated you and wanted to punch your face in. For now he was able to sit back and not be the centre of attention in this battle, he could simply be an observer. If he had to jump in he would, but for now he didn’t see how it would help judge them if he was right there doing all the work. One was a user of air magic and the other a user of fire magic, but neither were exactly adepts at it. It was funny too, considering one was the Princess of his old clan and the other had been seemingly taught by Cedric. Maybe he shouldn’t judge them so harshly, he was a bit of a special case himself in that he seemingly had a talent for magic. To say he was good at magic was an understatement, but one thing was for sure he hoped Taliya didn’t just give him the position because of that fact. He probably shouldn’t be growing all concerned for his life while this was going on, he was supposed to be watching them and making sure they didn’t die. It just happened sometimes, his mind would trail off and he would become paranoid that he was the victim after all. Gasping lightly when Gage shouted out, his eyes quickly being directed in the direction he was pointing in. Well this was pretty bad, that was a whole mess of ugly mutts if he ever did see. “Oh great, reinforcements, huh?” Easy enough to deal with but a pain in the ass to kill because they were often pretty quick. Raising his kunai he looked to Gage who instructed him to fight the creatures, sighing lightly. “Don’t worry, I got them! Just don’t hit me with that thing…” Spreading his wings he quickly gained a burst of speed as he flew straight for the creatures, flying low before he let loose a spiral of flames at an oncoming pair of Vazra, sending them yelping as their bodies caught fire. That certainly got a few of their attention, but as he flew up he was quick to make a turn away and fly around to keep the distance between them as they were quick to jump and try to pull him down.
