[b]B[/b]lood fell in river-veins down his body. Dying his already black clothes a darker color. As Hana complimented his magic and placed her hand on his head, ruffling it softly. Isshum began to feel himself blush. However, his dislike for lectures, regardless of meaning soon kicked him in the haunches, rousing him from his youthful stupor. 

[b]A[/b]lot gentler than usual, he knocked aside Hana’s hand and looked off to the side, keeping her from directly seeing his embarrassment. [color=#B80000][b] “D[/b]on’t lecture me. I hate that crap. A hero shouldn’t need to be lectured too.”[/color] He had read that tid-bit in a rundown bookstore he had wandered into in his younger years. 

[b]L[/b]istening to her speak of another Dragon Slayer made him curious. So Isshum locked his arms behind his head and walked beside her. [color=#B80000][b] “A[/b]nother Dragon Slayer huh? What type of Dragon Slayer is the guy? Is he like “Black Steel” Gajeel?  I heard that guy was off exploring the World? I can’t imagine how strong he gotta be to put you down. [b]Hmp![/b] It’ll be me soon … just wait. If all I need is a burning determination than you’re done for,”[/color] he chuckled lightly.  

[b]O[/b]nce back to the guild, he found Vivian and Belial quickly. Disappointment laid on him, alongside an unclear fear as he ran up to them, wincing with every step. At the bar, he grabbed a seat next to Belial, ruffling the kid’s hair with a warm hand and smile. [color=#B80000][b] “Y[/b]o!”[/color] he greeted, ignoring the blood still falling from his wounds from Hana.  

[color=#B80000][b] “S[/b]he was a lot stronger than I first thought,”[/color] he offered as explanation. [color=#B80000][b] “I[/b]’ll take her down next time for sure though. If she wasn’t so damn precise with that magic of hers, I might have stood a better chance.”[/color] For some reason he was wholly ignorant of the lady that sat between them. [color=#B80000][b] “A[/b]ye! I’m hungry. I want Taka’s living flame!”[/color]
