In hind sight, perhaps he should've had heard what Karn had to say to whether he could join him or not for training away for two months instead of rushing off like that. For all he knew, the blonde boy could've had easily shrugged it off and go on whatever business he had before or maybe he was naive enough to actually join Nolan with no questions asked even though the two of them hardly know each other. He didn't even consider how Karn felt about the whole idea of joining him for two months as his training partner in some unknown place. Oh man, did he ever feel like a scumbag. [color=00746b]"Ugh, I hope he just goes along with it. I'll feel like an idiot for asking then."[/color] What he had in his backpack was a first aid kit, an extra set of clothes, a spool of fishing line, a thick wooden pole that poked out of the bag and a canteen for water. Food could easily be hunted or fished and water won't be an issue for them. Wood for fire can easily be collected so warmth wouldn't be an issue. If there was going to be any problem then it would be Nolan having to get over his fear of Karn or die trying. 

Nolan tossed the bag onto his shoulders and walked out of his house. Either way even if Karn isn't going to go he wouldn't be back home for two months straight. He could easily train in the guild, but out of pure discipline he wanted to leave so that wherever he is there wouldn't be any distractions such as money, jobs, or Ariel trying to use Charm Magic to get rid of his fear of women. It was also to make sure that there weren't any watchful eyes from the other guilds competing in the games. He assumed that there others that were training away from the guild as well for the upcoming games and he certainly didn't want to fall behind. No way in hell he was going to be the weak link of the team. 

He was soon back inside the guild hall looking for Karn, which wasn't that hard since he was in his dragon-feline form. Nolan approached him, but stood some distance away from him. [color=00746b]"Er, I'm ready to go, but if you changed your mind I understand."[/color] A part of him wished that he wouldn't change his mind, but a part of him also wished for him to get as far away as possible.

Zev laughed as soon as Hunter was imbedded into the wall by Jake, but it was mostly relief from having to but heads with the Dragon Slayer. The wall of mercury dissipated into thin air just as soon as it appeared. [color=92278f]"Thanks master. I was in one hell of a bind!"[/color] He sauntered his way over back to the bar and sat down with his back against it. Thankfully the master of Dragon Fang was an absurdly strong mage, a God Slayer no less. Then out of curiosity he asked his master,[color=92278f] "So Master, who do you think is going to give our guild the most trouble in the games?" [/color]
