Alex narrowed her eyes, a quite threatening growl vibrating from within her throat as she glared at the man in her grasp. Watching as he pointed a gun at her, a grenade launcher at that. At his words, her glare just intensified as her grip around his throat tightened, almost daring him to try. She could snap his neck right then and there and possibly prevent him from shooting, but she had doubts he'd actually want to shoot and end up killing himself and obliterate the thing he came in for. Either way, her grip didn't loosen and she held him there despite his wriggling and his hands pawing at her arms for some sort of release. [color=red]"Doesnt give you the right to just start pawing at somebody else's things. Especially when in the middle of something like saving somebodies life."[/color] Alex snapped. However, the tall woman finally glanced away when Gippal spoke. The corner of her blue eye looking to him then at Naisha. Briefly, her furious expression melted into one of relief before her glare returned to look at the thief. Eyes narrowing as she thought over to let him go or not. With a scoff, her hands released him, letting him drop. She thought about taking his things, but if he wanted to actually hurt them, he would of done it rather than just charging for his objective. It seemed he just wanted the weird medic bot. [color=red]"Try anything and I'll make you bedridden."[/color] Alex warned before turning and returning to Naisha's side. Kneeling down, the red head placed a hand on the black mage's arm and sighed in relief. A smile crossing her lips for the first time today since this morning when she met with her friend. Gently taking Naisha's hand and cupping it between her large ones, gently grasping it. [color=red]"Thank the ancestors."[/color] Alex said softly, a odd gentle sound coming from her and the anxiety she felt for what felt like hours melted away. The red headed woman paused though as she released Naisha's hand and looked to her own. Covered in blood. Now that she wasn't completely panicked or angry, her blue eyes narrowed a little in a mixture of confusion, uncertainty, fear, and wonder. Naisha's blood. Looking at it felt... Surreal. Like a odd untouchable beauty. That was a little frightening to the red head. She didn't feel this way in looking at her own, but seeing the red liquid now... The dark Crimson brought a odd sense of awe and longing. Odd. Alex shook her head before finally turning her blue glare to Gippal and the mystery girl. Standing up, she turned toward them, arms crossing over her chest. Glancing to Gippal, she took a moment to think. [color=red]"Go help Urick. Make sure the idiot is alright and knows where we are. I can protect your girlfriend here."[/color] Alex instructed in a calm cold manner. Seeming waiting for him to leave before her eyes turned on the mystery girl. [color=red]"....Thank you... For helping Nai. I was afraid we would lose her there."[/color] Alex said, her tone returning the gentle soft tone as she glanced to Naisha. Her voice softer now, as if a attempt to keep her loud voice quieter so the black Mage could rest. The tall woman returned her sharp gaze to the pink haired girl, now looking her over and examining her before making eye contact. Having to look down a little as Alex moved up so they were only a couple feet apart. [color=red]"Now. Explain to me what is going on. Urick won't tell me, even though he apparently grew up enough to tell me to shut up. And Gippal tends to flounder a bit in explanations. So, I'd like to hear a explanation from you first before I question them. What is your name, who are you, why is that man after you, and how exactly did you come to accompanying Gippal and Urick? We're you always a Summoner?"[/color] Alex said, her words firm and precise like a sword cutting paper. She didn't sound mad, but her words and tone were firm and to the point. Her eyes watching this stranger's every move. As if watching for any signs to call behemothshit on. A bit similar how she interrogated Urick, but Alex wasn't as intense towards this girl. She was usually hard on those two.
