[quote=@Delta44] [@Claw2k11] Maryvale almost collapsed at that moment, however apparently it wasn't from exhaustion, though anyone who couldn't read minds would obviously see it as so. Rather, the sounds of a young girl crying, her voice filled with pain and suffering, was what made her blood boil. She was a flood of emotions. The sounds of anguish and fear were things Maryvale simply could not tolerate. It was driving her insane; if it weren't for the presence of her fellow members, she would be clutching her ears and screaming at the child to stop. However, instead, Maryvale merely rose to her feet, body shaking, and sprints towards Anna... ... Though she stops right in front of her. Or rather, stops so she was between Gabriel and the young girl. "Avian, Rookie, deal with the child! Get her away from Gabriel's cruel grasp!" [/quote] (Gabriel vanished if you read the post again...) "Be quiet girl!" the gnoll shouted at her, and shook her, that, however, only made it worse and she started crying harder. The young knight just sighed and approached Anna, handing her a handkerchief and smiling at her. "It's ok." he said to her. "They aren't bad people, despite what they look like." he said and smiled at her. Anna was at first hesitant to accept the man's kindness, though she quickly clings on to his hand. At least she had stopped crying. Though she did whimper occasionally.
