Measha watched as Axcel crawled towards his desk, he wanted to subdue the Guildmaster should he try anything, but was completely helpless. Measha lay on the floor, there wasn't much he could do with one leg, since his other limbs were now paralyzed. Although Measha fought Axcel without an ounce of fear, the sight of him now pulling out a pack of cigarettes was horrifying, but he let out a sigh of relief when he claimed they were normal cigarettes. The rest of what he had to say was confusing to Measha, his attention was purely focused on Axcel during the fight, he didn't even realize the other guild heads laying on the floor, defeated. Measha lay on the floor opposite of Axcel's desk, a few yards away. He mustered up what strength he had left to sit up and lock eyes with the Guildmaster. [b]"You're crazy...to think, we wouldn't report you.....after all this? You're lucky we don't burn this place down."[/b] He wasn't sure if he was in the right place to be talking to Axcel that way, he only hoped Beatrix would arrive soon while he was still weak. Kaldis stood up after his battle with Mumford, having emerged victorious, but drained. He cut the bandages still clinging to his body off with the tip of the spear Sam had given him, and promptly fell back onto his butt. Looking at Mumford as he lay defeated, he said: [b]"...I'm sorry."[/b] before leaning back, sprawling out on the floor. Just as he could feel his consciousness start to slip, he overheard the conversation between Axcel and Measha, and felt a slight twinge of pain in the back of his mind after hearing the story of the guild being left behind. [i]"If we turn them in...would we be just as bad as all the other guilds who turned their backs on them?[/i] was all he thought as he slumped to his knees and started crawling over to the two. [b]"Wait...wait. I don't...I don't think we should."[/b] Was all he said as he took a sitting distance a fair distance between the two. Measha was dumbfounded at Kaldis's proposal. [b]"What? Why? Look at us. If we failed here, imagine what would've happend to the Guild."[/b] [b]"I get it!"[/b] Kaldis suddenly rose from his sitting position on his wobbly legs, steadily rising little by little. [b]"I understand that perfectly, if we'd have lost they wouldn't have stopped, but do you know why they did all this?"[/b] He actually hadn't considered why another, [i]larger[/i] guild would attempt to wipe out a starter guild. [b]"Well, no. I don't see why that matters?"[/b] [b]"Because....because they've devoted every act up until recently to help out small guild starting out...even the one's that are really big now like Blue Pegasus got help from them..."[/b] Was all Kaldis said as he fell back down to his knees, too weak to stand. [b]"So....why are they doing the opposite? What happened?"[/b]" It was difficult for Measha to wrap his head around the whole situation. He wasn't sure if it was the fatigue from the fight or, maybe the effects of Axcel's daggers were messing with his head. Kaldis tried once more to stand, this time only making it to his feet by leaning against his spear and propping up against it. [b]"They've never..."[/b] He finally got to a standing position on his own and le tthe spear rest at his side. [b]"Not once has anybody ever returned their kindness. I-I'm sorry but, I...I think I understand how they felt.[/b]" He turned his gaze to the ground, as he couldn't really look anybody in the eyes, somewhat embarassed to be sticking up for the enemy.
