[Damian]

Leaving James to keep an eye out near the entrance to the station, Damian follows Penny back to the cage and takes the lacrima from her after looking the blood mage over. Stepping away a few paces to make sure it was a relatively private conversation, he also kept an eye on the man with the sword at his side. He wasn't sure, but he gave off a vibe of being just a little too comfortable with taking another person's life. Shaking his head, Damian returned his attention to the lacrima and appraised the master before speaking. She seemed tired, worn out, and ready to just fall over and do nothing but sleep for the rest of the year. [i]Maybe he should take a break. There's no harm in it, even if it's only a day or two. If I have my way though, she'll take a week.[/i]

"What did you decide, master? Are we to bring her back or let her free? Either way, I'd like to get back to the guild soon." His eyebrow twitches and Damian grins mischievously. "My battle instincts tell me there are people having a good spar. On top of that, you need a break and we've another new member to add to the guild."
