Lazarus's raging thoughts to himself were interrupted by both an exceed and Sasha. He remembered himself and calmed down. His heart beat more slowly, and he composed himself. "My little exceed friend... I am a firm believer of using magic to protect the ones you love." With that sentence he cast a doting glance in Sasha's direction. "The guild lost a member not too long ago, to the path of of the unknown." He looked sad. "My anger has gotten the best of me this time, my little friend." He patted the exceed on the head. "It seems certain things are more important to others than getting their fellow member... no.... friend back." He looked down before responding to Sasha. "I have things on my mind. Unexplainable things." He frowned in a confusing manner at her.
