[color=ed1c24]“Ah shit…”[/color] he murmured, rather familiar with the sensation that Cran’s ribs had given when his blow connected successfully. Given the difficulty in breathing he could hear from the man, his guess wasn’t off the mark and he turned his attention to Ares. He blinked in surprise, not quite used to the callous nature she showed at the moment. It was a bit disconcerting to hear her speak of murder casually and he fought to keep his expression neutral and impassive. 

[color=ed1c24][i]‘Not human,’[/i][/color] he reminded himself again as the red light wrapped around him and sunk in. He could feel his capabilities increase further with the second blessing and he sighed to bleed the tension that had seized his body. He turned at the older man’s reaction and blinked in disbelief as the fool ran face first into the wall and knocked himself out. With a heavy sigh, he walks over to move him from the Coliseum before Ares simply decided to have him thrown out by one of the other members.

There wasn’t much else for him to do at the moment and even if it had been fruitless on his part, it was still somewhat enlightening to glimpse what he could. The oppressive presence she had radiated would also be good to get used to; it seemed quite likely that powerful monsters would be capable of similar.

For the moment he decided to lug Cran over to Thoth’s nearby lab and see if the Goddess had made any progress on examining the potion that had been left with her. He didn't exactly want to use his only piece of loot from the dungeon like this, but he was partially responsible even if this all could have been easily avoided.
