Argus couldn't help but sigh as Gabriel continued to be all moody, even getting defensive when he had to defend himself. To be honest, he was really starting to tick Argus off, and the Crimson God Slayer was tempted to give a punch to the schnoz. However, after a few calming breaths, he decided against it, as it wouldn't be good for him to get into another fight with a guild member so soon after the last one.

"You know, if you're tired of defending yourself, then why do you bring up questions when you have to do just that. I came here wanting try and get to know a guild mate, and you treating me like shit. I don't know what your fucking deal is here, but the very least you could do is try and pretend to be courteous. Also, what's with this defeatist mentality of your's, huh? Do you always just give up when things get hard or don't go your way. Well, in your own words, life sucks, so just get over it. Stop whining like a little bitch and man the- ugghhh, what am I doing? I here trying to cheer you up, and instead I'm lecturing! Gah." Argus got up from his seat and started to pace around a bit, before suddenly turning around and punching a nearby tree. When that didn't seem to work, he did it again, and again, and again, and again. He would continue to lay into the tree or a good minute before he had gotten out all of his anger and frustration. His knuckles were sore, but because he had used his magic about half way in, the tree was in worse shape than he was.

Now feeling a little bit more calm, he turned back to Gabriel, hoping that he'd be able to get through this conversation without punching him. A prospect that seemed less likely the more he got to know the guy. "Okay look, I didn't come here with the purpose of berating you like a child for what happened back there, and I'm sorry that that's exactly what I ended up doing. I just wanted to talk with a fellow guild member about, well, really anything. And you looked like you could use a friend, so being the nosey guy that I am, I nominated myself. All I have to say right now is this in regards to what happened: It's done, over, ka-put, and there is no need to talk about it any further. No matter what we say right now, it doesn't change what happened and all we can do know is just keep it in mind for the future, so that the next time a guild member goes berserk or something of that nature . . . maybe I won't go with my gut instinct to beat them into submission and will try to talk them down. But that's a very small maybe. So, with that said, if you still want me to go, I'll go."

No matter how subtle the motion was, Nidhogg knew the instant she made the cut, the smell of blood causing his hunger to swell as a rumbling growl came from the pit of his stomach. It was getting a bit hard to keep his cool right now, and while the girl's next attack was easily predicted and evaded by simply ducking in his seat and letting the chair and the person in front of him take the brunt of the attack, a few drops were able to land on his shirt and skin, leaving slight singe marks that he could barely notice, but leaving behind a truly enthralling scent. [i]Focus, dammit, focus. If I lose control now, I'm almost assuredly done for. Dammit, I didn't think this girl would have a magic like this.[/i] With another burst of speed, he appeared behind the girl, his back facing her as he spoke.

"Good try, little dove, but sadly, not good enough. Alas, while I'd love to continue this game, I remembered that I had some business to attend to. I'll be back, but consider the game over. Better luck next time." He gave a curt nod before launching himself out of the stadium, unfurling his wings and pushing them down to give him an extra burst of speed over the stadium wall, before he went diving into the streets of crocus below. He landed in an alley way a good ways from the stadium, sniffing the air for the scent of sin. 

It wasn't too long before he found it, the sweet aroma of adultery wafting through his nostrils, setting a fanged grin upon his hungering face. He stalked through the darkness like a shadow, soon finding his prey, a young couple walking down the way in peaceful bliss. They never knew what hit him, as a streak of blackness leaped forward, shoving a hand through the man's chest, giving both of them a clear view of his still beating heart. Putting a foot on the man's back, he kicked him forward, launching his carcass into a nearby wall with a wet thud while Nidhogg still held his heart. With a savage ferocity, he tore into the organ, consuming the entire ting within seconds, before moving on to the corpse of the man. tearing him to piece in his frenzied feeding while the woman looked on in silent horror. She would've have been screaming if Nidhogg hadn't summoned a skeletal hand to burst from the ground and dig it's claws into her throat, leaving her unable to do much more than gurgle before she inevitably passed on from this world.

Soon after, their was little left of the young passionate couple than a few remains and blood spatter, and even those were coalesced together by Nidhogg into a final little drink for Nidhogg to wash down his meal with. Thanks to his powers, he looked and smelled exactly the same as he did before his feasting, but felt much, much better. "My, my, that was positively delicious. Nothing taste better than the flesh of two young lovers. Too bad I have to walk back to the stadium now, but I need to work off some off this meal somehow." With a dark chuckle, Nidhogg left the scene of the crime that would likely never be discovered, gliding in amongst the crowds and fading into the nothingness as he made his way back to the action.
