[Damian] Damian switched blades rapidly as things progressed, then released his first skill barrier. His magic energy had recharged nearly to full, and he hoped he could keep it that way for the rest of the day. [color=FireBrick]"Awfully confident when you don't know the full extent of the powers you're facing off against. You'd all save yourself some trouble leaving, because Amelia isn't even here, in Earthland if what Master Jamie said is accurate, and we won't hand her over any time soon regardless."[/color] His blades shimmered briefly as their edges sharpened once more. This group wanted to fight? Then by the gods, he'd give them one he wouldn't soon forget. [James] [color=Navy]"It would seem Master Jamie is intent to give you that chance by joining the guild. What's actually stopping you from joining?"[/color] Once they both had their tickets, James put them where they could wait for whoever was left to start trickling in, which many of the members who'd kept the majority of the Rune Knights busy were already doing, many nursing various wounds, though nothing serious. [Edo-Damian] [color=Red]"Cool your jets, Mayat, I know what you think of me."[/color] He turned back to Sasha and his eyes softened again, ever so briefly, before, becoming their usual cold hardness. [color=Red]"I...I'll keep coming back to honor James's memory, but that's about it. After all, he died on my watch, it's part of why I left."[/color] Heading for the door, he stops and looks back at the two members of Phoenix Wing. [color=Red]"For what it's worth, I still think this guild is capable of shutting down a lot of the more violent guilds without resorting to their measures. You're also the kindest, most caring people I know. Don't change."[/color] With that, Damian vanished out the door, climbed upon Titanus, and set out for the capitol.
