[center][h2]Damian Gerard|Phoenix Wing Guild Hall[/h2][/center] [color=f7976a]"Um, now what?"[/color] Damian chuckled and pulled Penny in close, wrapping his arms around her. He wasn't sure himself, but with the Games ahead, he knew he couldn't afford to sit on his butt waiting for people to come to him. Smiling, he helped Penny up and grabbed Durandal, spinning the blade once and putting it back in it's sheath and then taking Penny's hand in his own. [color=FireBrick]"Well, we take it one step at a time. And, as unfortunate as it is, I need to get to training for the games."[/color] Unlocking his door, he opens it and leads the way back down to the main hall, sitting at a table with the Fire Mage. He still couldn't believe that he'd both not been shot down and that she didn't leave third degree burns on his cheek. And...well, he wouldn't jinx their relationship. Like he had told Penny, one day at a time. [color=FireBrick]"You know, while I'm thinking about it, what do you say we train together? You may not be in the games, but it never hurts to get stronger. So, you up for it?"[/color] It didn't even click in his head that the whole guild had seen them holding hands when they came back from his room.

And can even supercharge your spells."[/color] He listens to her describe how she felt about the magic games and nods in understanding. This new way of life was different for her and he didn't want her to rush into in any case. After watching her continue to toy with her mist make, he chuckles. [color=Turquoise]"You want to know what a friend of mine who uses maker magic taught me about it even though I couldn't use it?"[/color]
