Nidhogg watched the events of the games with a padding interest from the Phoenix wing stands, having found it to be the best place so far to watch the games. He wasn't quite sure if such an action was necessarily illegal or not, but he really didn't care either way. If it was and he was caught, he'd deal with that problem when it cane time, but right now, he was eager to see the Frenzy Plant woman wipe the floor with the God Slayer, who would probably put up a good show at the very least.

Another reason for him to be in the area was the woman sitting in front of him, who carried the upon her the faint musk of undeath that was impossible to miss, for the souls of all undead is drenched in sin. For such a creature to be a member of a light guild, and for that guild to be Phoenix Wing, made her a very interesting subject. [i]I wonder what her story is. . . how fun would it be to pull them from her, but that would draw much undue attention that I can't be bothered with right now. A pity, humans are oh so fragile most of the time, and to have an undead to torture would be quite the experience.[/i] 

A sigh escaped his lips as he mourned the missed opportunity, but he didn't let that stop him from reaching over to tap on her shoulder, his public persona slipping over him with a kind smile and friendly, if mischievous, eyes as he decided to converse with her. One did not meet many undead, so best to make the most of the chance encounter.

"Who do you think is going to win the fight, that Nolan guy or the Frenzy Plant woman? My money's on the woman, she looks like she's in no mood to play around, plus she's an S-class. A scary strong one too, if her magic is anything to go by."

Argus clenched his teeth to keep himself from telling Jane to stop yelling at him like he was the fucking instigator in all this. All he was doing was keeping the psycho from skewering Isla, and then trying to help the rest of them bring him down. Still, no matter how he felt, he knew that the best thing he could do right now was to shut up and keep out of it as best as he could. He was already in who knows how much trouble for being involved in all this, and he didn't need to add not following orders to the list of offenses he was going to hearing about later. 

However, he soon found himself forced to hit the deck as Ike sent out a barrage of spikes at those near by, cursing under his breath as he turned towards where the psycho was, the combined temptation of his own anger and what he had absorbed from Ike making it hard to resist launching himself at the idiot. While he was trying not to show it, what Ike had said about Argus borrowing his power had gotten under his skin, and he was eager to show him what he could do with just his own power. However, before he could lose control of himself again, he was faced with a strange black rabbit that seemed to come from nowhere, looking at him for a second before hopping off towards Ike. Argus followed the creature with a confused look, but his attention was drawn from the creature over to a somewhat familiar face that he couldn't quite place. 

The boy was yelling at the others, whining like the child he claimed them to be as he summoned a dragon to vent his frustrations. Listening to his words, Argus shook his head, rising himself off the ground and taking a breath to clear his head. While the affair wasn't at all the childish affair the naive mage seemed to think it was, what he had been about to do would definitely not be the best for the situation. He wanted to call out the boy on the realities of the situation at hand, but now wasn't the time, and honestly, he didn't really think it would accomplish much in the long run.

Turning his attention back to Ike, he raised his eyes at the sight of what must have been the rabbit from before, wondering who had so thoroughly eviscerated it, before turning his eyes to Ike. He could somewhat empathize with him, now that he had time to calmly think of why he was rampaging as he was. The fact that he was willing to attack his own allies and friends with not even the slightest bit of hesitance was very telling of the depths of rage and dark emotion he now found himself in. 

With nothing else to do, Argus backed away and let the others handle it, summoning Mehrune's Chain just in case Ike launched a final offensive in his direction.
