[Damian]

Sighing, Damian dismissed the cage around the blood mage and locked eyes with the Master. "We'll continue discussing whether or not you're taking a break when I get back to the guild. We will see you soon." Putting the lacrima away, he turns to the blood mage and approaches her, helping her up. "I hope I don't have to speak with you again, because if I do, you will go to the Magic Council, and when they actually do their job? They're quite effective." Leaving her with those parting words, Damian walks to the other person with the sword on his hip, calling James over.

"Well, I think we'd all like to return home, and James here would like to join the guild." Smiling tiredly, he went outside, cleared things up with the town officials and the guards, and soon bought them all tickets to get them home. He even led the way to the last train car, where he sat down and closed his eyes, and promptly fell asleep, softly snoring away.

[James]

James didn't say anything the entire time Damian lead the way and handled things, silently following the members of Phoenix Wing onto the train and to the last car on the train, where he sat across from Damian and leaned back, his sword sheathed on his back with the shield over it. As the other two walked in, he offered a hand to them both and smiled. "James Hunt, master of the rare Paladin magic. Pleasure to meet you both." He appraised each one as he spoke, taking notes of their hinting features so he could better use his support spells to actually be helpful.

Penny, who he knew from listening to Damian, was a Fire Transformation magic user, which meant she'd benefit most from his speed and power boosts, though the defensive ones would help as well. The other, who he didn't know, likely used some kind of magic that focused around the blade he wore at his waist, or he had something else entirely. Guess time would tell, though the blood mage had mentioned something about ashes...
