[quote=@Caits] Princes words just made Michael feel worse. How could he ever expect Gabriel to, well, grow up if he kept on interfering? He could talk to the guild master, couldn't he? But...he didn't think that would go over well either. He just...why wouldn't Gabriel try? What had gone wrong? It should have been easy. Why wasn't it? Michael gave a sigh, what it bottled down to was that if he helped Gabriel in this, Gabriel would never learn to stand for himself. A flush rose quickly as Prince embraced him, and Michael squirmed slightly, but managed to say curiously [color=00a651]"what song?"[/color] even a slight change in topic was better then dwelling on it. [@Silver Fox] [/quote] [h2]Prince[/h2] Prince grinned a little, only huggling the smaller boy tighter, enjoying the warmth and the magic flowing from him. It made him purr, but he loosened his grip as he hummed a little, pulling out his fiddle out of what seemed to be thin air before gingerly singing his tune. Quiet amongst the cheering crowd, but yet crystal clear as well. A odd serenity to it. [color=aqua]"Two birds on a wire~ One tries to fly away, and the other watches him close from that wire~ He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar~ I'll believe... it all~ There's nothing I won't understand~ I'll believe... it all~ I won't let go of your hand~ Two birds on a wire~ One says c'mon and the other says "I'm tired" The sky is overcast and I'm sorry~ One more or one less, Nobody's worried~ I'll believe... it all~ There's nothing I won't understand~ I'll believe... it all~ I won't let go of your hand~ Two birds of a feather Say that they're always gonna stay together~ But one's never going to let go of that wire~ He says that he will, but he's just a liar~ Two birds on a wire~ One tries to fly away and the other~ Watches him close from that wire~ He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar~ Two birds on a wire~ One tries to fly away and the other...."[/color] Prince sang softly before finishing as he strung the fiddle gingerly before ceasing and gave a cheerful smile. [color=aqua]"Course, each takes music differently. But, it's quite bittersweet in my opinion no?"[/color] the feline chirped before turning his one good eye to the arena as he witnessed the battle of his friend. [h2]Karn[/h2] Honestly, Karn hadn't meant to cause the girl embarrassment. Simply wanted to end this battle quickly and make her either pass out from lack of hydration or surrender. Since her diamond made it difficult to allow most of his attacks which were physical, he had to rely on his fire magic to end it quickly. Guess he didn't really take into account with clothes melting. Although he still didn't quite understand why exactly it was embarrassing to be without clothes. They were born with it and everyone seems to know it and clothes were to keep warm and look pretty. But still, he knew he probably made a mistake and he probably would get yelled at. Yet he was still glad it was over. He would prefer if he didn't have to face a diamond wizard again. Despite how it looked, Karn came out of this worse then Krystal. She might be embarrassed, but she would be otherwise fine. On the other hand, Karn felt the effects of overexertion as his weak human body shook a little, clasping a left hand over his chest while the right went over his mouth. His skin was surely pale and he could feel beads of sweat run down his face as he focused all his energy to remain standing, and not vomit blood all over the arena. His energy was mostly focused on not dying again right there in front of everyone. They'd get worried. So his attention wasn't really focused on the glares he received for the win he got. Though he was glad the announcer did praise his abilities, despite his awkward embarrassing win. The feminine boy could feel his human body shutting down however, so he was forced to resort transforming into his draconic form. A form that wasn't medically weak and so he could get some energy back. And be able to move. [I]Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Hang in there just a little longer. I won... Not the best way... but I won. So it's okay now. Just need a little rest.... then after the games it's okay. It's okay.[/I] He chanted softly to himself in his mind, the draconic cat shaking his fur and stretching out his wings before flying up. Flapping his wings to land in the Phoenix Wing stands, landing on the railing and stretching out his body.
