Maybe Kimi was going to be perfectly fine, maybe there was no reason to pull a Superman and dive after her. Suto wasn't very keen on waiting to see if she was going to be alright, a bit paranoid maybe over past events to chance it. He saw nothing inherently wrong with what he was doing here, even if Kimi were to have been fine he wasn't really inconveniencing her in anyway, so it was alright for him to pull her away. Making a leap after the smaller girl he grabbed a hold of her, trying to position her in a way to keep her from getting hurt as they fell to the ground and tumbled, rolling away some few feet before coming to a stop. Ugh, tumbling like that really stunk and left him quite dizzy. For a moment Suto's head was spinning, he hadn't a clue where he was really. After the room finally stopped turning he found out he was on the ground with a bit of extra weight on him, something he hadn't a clue where it came from at first. When he lifted his head though and found Kimi on him his face reddened up like a ripe tomato, his mouth opening and closing like a fish as he struggled to find words for their situation. Oh boy, this was awkward. 

Naturally Suto was able to handle the situation he found himself in with finesse and smooth talking. Yeah right, who was he kidding? Even when Kimi had found what position she was in he was hapless, bright red and stammering like a moron in an attempt to defend himself. "I-It was an accident Kimi, h-honest, I didn't mean-" he began, gasping when he was punched in the chest, letting out a squeaky sound afterwards as his hands shot up to cover where he'd been struck. The next accusation only made his face redden even further, his head might explode if any more blood rushed up to it. "No no no, I'm not a pervert, honest! I didn't mean for this to happen!" Cringing as he expected another punch the martial artist watched warily as Kimi was plucked off of him graciously, Jason being the one to save him from a pounding as he gave the girl a potion. Not wanting to be in such a compromising position any longer Suto scrambled to his feet, smiling nervously at Kimi as he did so. She wasn't still mad about it, was she? After all he'd just tried to help her, not get into bed with her, sheesh. Judging by the scream she made before charging the boss like a wild bull yeah, she was still mad. And all that anger was probably going to be directed right back onto him. Sigh... Why did he even try being helpful sometimes?

Suto never had an opportunity to rotate back in, Kimi and Nero were quick to put the boss down at last. Of course the latter was waiting on the last hit too, in such a Nero fashion to claim the best of the spoils. Not that he particularly cared, if his guild mate got some thrill out of having more virtual spoils than everyone else fine, he could have it all. All Suto cared for at that moment was the fact the battle was over and they could get back to town. They still had made a decent sum of money through the dungeon and even more so from beating the boss, that mean it was time to have a little fun back in town. Ugh... Though come to think of it there was the routine of reporting in to KoB first, which would take goodness knows how long. In the midst of his internal grumbling he scarcely noticed Kimi come back over to him, glancing down at the finger prodding at his chest before smiling at her sheepishly. "Hey... I was just trying to help, I didn't want you getting hurt," he said defensively, "And I didn't mean to end up like that! I don't know if you've ever fallen off of a giant-sand-worm-monster-thing, but it's hard to land the right way, especially when you're holding someone!" Why couldn't he catch a break?

There was no reason to linger in the dungeon any longer, what with having cleared it in its entirety on the way up. And using a teleport crystal in an empty dungeon was a waste so the group opted instead to walk back, saving their crystals for a real emergency. Suto personally would have preferred to have used a teleport, it would save him the danger that was Kimi. Every time they looked at one another she looked as though she might kill him, evidently still fuming over his botched save earlier. Jason was off the hook pretty much for getting in the way too so why was he being drilled? Just to be safe he spent the majority of the trip back at Nero's side, hiding behind the slightly smaller boy more often than not which might have been quite the sight. Realistically Kimi hitting him had no effect but that didn't mean he wanted her to go all bonkers and try burying him out here in the desert. When he finally spotted the town up on the horizon it was literally like finding an oasis in the desert, a wide grin spread across his face and he let out a happy cheer. Hah, he made it back without getting pummeled, let it be known he had averted Kimi's wrath! Picking up the pace slightly he moved to the front of the group, beaming as the town came ever closer and closer. "I'm thinking it's time to celebrate!" Suto exclaimed, his mindset quickly turning gears.

Sure, they were probably going to have to settle down and go report in at some point, Suto knew how strict KoB could be with that. But since they technically had a few hours left for that he opted instead to have a little fun. To the chagrin of probably all his friends he had promptly thrown a little celebration once they arrived at the inn, and why not? The fight hadn't been particularly dangerous but they had beaten a boss, and gotten some decent loot along the way for it. It was a good outing and it deserved celebrating, threats of being emasculated aside. Laughing happily as he clanged his glass against some stranger's he took a long sip of his cider, beaming as he looked over at the NPC musicians playing away. Hey, you had to have fun in this world, it was what made it worth living in, right? He hadn't done this in a while and it felt over due so gods know he was going to play it up for all it was worth. If everyone else around him didn't mind a party now and again then all the more reason to throw one too, others could probably use the distraction from the game. Hah, compared to how he was faring earlier this was much better, he could relax and enjoy himself, not a worry in the world.

"SUTO! WHERE DID YOU GO!? SUTO!"

Busy humming along to the music Suto hadn't a clue who was calling out to him, nor was he really paying attention. Even when a few people around him moved away he ought to have taken some kind of notice, stopped what he was doing and face whoever was calling for him. But nope, he was caught up in the celebration and wanted to keep it going no matter what. When he felt a hand grab his shoulder he finally settled down, only out of annoyance as he frowned and lowered his glass. "We'll turn the music down if it's bothering you, though I already had to do that twi-" he began, turning around and coming face to face with Luna. Blinking owlishly he broke into an embarrassed grin after a moment, chuckling uneasily as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Oh, hey Luna! What's up?"

"DON'T WHAT'S UP ME! YOU LEFT WITHOUT ME AGAIN!" Luna steamed, shouting mostly just because the music was so loud. "Seriously we're supposed to be a team and you keep going out without so much as an invitation, what gives?" Judging by the celebration going on it had been a decent outing at that, something she could really use. The discrepancy in their levels and gear was slipping because she had fallen to the wayside as of late, and as a result she felt a bit inadequate. Actually quite inadequate, she was supposed to be right alongside her friends in terms of their standing. She was a clearer too, but now she was a bit sub par since there was such a difference. Growling in annoyance she swung out a knee and tried nailing Suto in his groin, frustrated when she got the error message for trying to hit him. Letting out a huff she stormed around her friend, going over to Nero and Kazaro, putting her hands on her hips as she stood before them. "Maybe you two can explain why my partner keeps abandoning me like that, hm? This behavior is unacceptable, how am I supposed to be of any use while clearing if I fall behind since I'm being left out? Please, if there is a method to this then I would oh so love to hear it!"
