Lyren was glad that he wasn't the only one who though that Dark Magic didn't mean dark person. It meant a lot of him that the him who ran the village he had unintentionally wronged felt the same way. He looked at the two he would be paired up with Kai and Jason huh? He wondered what kind of group they would make and how well they would work together. Well, only one way to find out. And that was to get out there and fight side by side. No matter what, it was certain to be fun. He looked up at Kai when the other mage put a hand on his shoulder and told him quietly that they needed to talk about something.

Lyren had no idea what he wanted to talk about, but he wasn't going to refuse. "Yeah, sure, we can do it before we head out. I think the monsters can wait for an ass kicking a little longer." He ended with a confident grin, ready to go monster hunting. The Dark Mage stood up, flexing the fingers on his right hand as he did. Both his tell and his habit that he used either before a fight or before he summoned a new weapon. "I'm ready when you guys are. Let's take these things out."
