[@Lugubrious] [color=00746b][b]NOLAN[/b][/color] A mistake, he made a horrible mistake. Nolan could feel the stares of women piercing his very soul, like he was a gazelle surrounded by a pack of ravenous lions. If he had known that taking his tattered, soaked hoodie off would garner him such attention then he would've left it on! Why did this have to happen to him?! Why, a man who has an almost crippling fear of women, must attract almost an entire stadium filled of them?! What kind of sick joke was this?! Almost jumping out of his own skin from surprise, he turned to Frenzy Plant mage offered a hand to him and had a few kind words to say to him, well except for the good guy part. [color=00746b]"I don't strive to call myself a hero or a good guy. I do what I need to do to get the job done just like how you tried to roast me alive. In the end, it's up to everyone else to decide whether I'm a hero or a walking calamity."[/color] Nolan shrugged nonchalantly. It occurred to him that she was hardly covered in any form of clothes and his face lit up pink with steam coming from his head. No matter how cold and composed he made himself out to be, he was still an awkward teenager when thrust upon uncomfortable situations. Clearing his throat and taking a deep breath, he shook her hand as if he wasn't blushing like a panicking kid. Well at least he scored second place with Indigo.. He walked back to the stands through the corridors and he found himself a souvenir stand that was selling shirts with different logos of the guilds participating in the Games. Obviously he bought a t-shirt with Phoenix Wing's symbol on it, a green shirt with a black version of the logo. It was better than wearing the soggy shreds of black that was his old hoodie. He soon arrived back in the stands and made his way through the crowds with great discomfort due to the stares he was getting. [b][color=00aeef]FERRIS[/color][/b] [color=00aeef]"Way ahead of you. Want to order some takeout?"[/color] He took a small communication lacrima out from his pockets, but it looked like he wasn't going to be given the chance to do so. He tossed it to her and he leaned into the microphone after Sheldon had announced the results. She could order the food while he did his job, hopefully this time without saying something that will embarrass himself or Jess. [color=00aeef]"Now wasn't this a spectacular event? It looks like Frenzy Plant is making up the points from its off day yesterday, but we also had witnessed an unknown mage go toe to toe with Frenzy Plant's finest! We'll be taking a short break to organize the matches for today!"[/color] He turned off the microphone and leaned back in his seat, rubbing his temples. Damn, last night really took a lot out of him! [color=ed1c24][b]ENMA[/b][/color] and [color=662d91][b]DALTON[/b][/color] [color=ed1c24]"So are you both going to go hit on him or what? There are others that are after the same prize now."[/color] Enma stated bluntly with a defeated tone, accepting that he won't be having any fun with some casual flirting today. This was probably going to make Marlene very uncomfortable since she was still very apprehensive due to yesterday's events. He wasn't exactly sure what happened and why she went berserk the way she did, but thankfully Samir was there to knock her out cold. Still, it was a funny thought to think about Nolan as a prize like a mounted moose head on a hunter's wall considering that he was afraid of women. At least this was he silver lining. Meanwhile, Dalton was getting choked by Marlene! She was so enthralled with what was going on in front of her that she was beginning to squeeze the Exceed closer without even noticing! [color=662d91]"B-breathe! I can't breathe!"[/color], Gasped out the feline. [color=ed1c24]"Um...you're choking the perverted cat."[/color]
