Aiden

Aiden looked away from Oriel as she got off of him, his face still red, as he tried not to think about her in anywy, tried not to remember her figure as it had been in the hot springs. 'What the hell is this feeling, what are these thoughts, what is going on!' Aiden wondered in his mind.

As he got up, and turned around to look at her, she did that lip-licking thing again, except now it seemed a lot more predatory than before. And drew attention to just how full her lips were, how attractive she was. Dammit, what the hell is happening here. He did his very best not to stare at any where but Oriel's facd, but even that had it's dangers and pitfalls. 'What kind of feelings are these, why am I feeling so uncomfortably warm right now, what did she do to me with one sentence.' Aiden took a breath as he contemplated Oriel's question, calming himself down. 

Aiden took her hand in his own amd gave it a firm shake, though Aiden was shyly looking away from the brash fire mage. "Y-yeah, of course we're friends. Part of beung in a guild, ya know, you're friends with everyone unless you're a dick. So, what do you want to do now, as I'm not really in the moid for more sparring." 

Xavier

Xavier watched in interest as Kuro seemed to sinle a girl out in the crowd. 'That must be the target, time to-'

'My prince, we must leave! NOW!' The voice in his head, which he was going to call Cassandra from now on, yelled at him mentally, a great amoint of fear and panic laced into it

'Wh-' Xavier began to ask, when a huge pressure filled the air, stopping his thoughts in their tracks, he felt like he couldn't even move an inch. The explosion afterwards was worse, and Xavier luckily wasable to avoid a majority of the fall out debris by going down into the building. When he came out, however, he saw a horrifying sight that would haunt his nightmares for years to come. Every where were dead bodies killed by debris from the explosion, and even more were forming around the masked figure as he went about his slaughter. And for one second, he felt that monster's eyes stop on his figure, and his reaction was to run back inside, close the door, and hide, tears running down his face as he cried into hands. 'I'm not ready for this, I'm going to die, I'm going to die and I have only myself to blame.' Xavier began rocking himself back and forth, unable to shake off the fear that was filling him right now, it was just too much. He just wasn't prepared to see these kinds of things, and his psyche was paying for it dearly.
