[Damian]

Damian watched Sasha from a distance for a few minutes before approaching her, going over everything that had happened in the few months since his joining and reaching S Class. He could still remember his first job after joining the guild, fighting off some magic extremist group on an island. Remembering what had happened that day, he grimaced, wishing that he could take the time to find that Ragged Brotherhood and show them what a real wizard can do, what a real wizard was. Returning to the present, he smiled as Sasha played with her ice animals, watching the critters play with each other or just watch the others. It was almost reminiscent of how he'd spar with himself when no one would spar with him. Almost. There was a strong difference between sitting and playing ice animals and doing everything in your power to keep your magic from skewering you like a fish on a spit.

Chuckling quietly to himself, Damian quietly approached her and leaned against the tree behind her, looking at the sunset and not saying anything for awhile longer, just enjoying the quiet and peace before Phoenix Wing started a war that would make them look both power hungry and evil. [i]Such is the price we pay to protect the innocent.[/i] Looking at Sasha and her animals with one more smile, he spoke as his eyes returned to the sunset. "Beautiful sunset, isn't it?"
