He jinxed it. He had to have jinxed it. The second he opened his mouth it was [i]bound[/i] to come to it. Not a moment passed between the end of Rei's question and the start of Ria's torrent of childishness. Seemingly fed up with being berated by all and sundry, the slayer had unleash her thus-far reserved words onto the unsuspecting population of the square. Not expecting the tirade or the theatrics, the majority of the citizens (the ones who hadn't already hastily vacated the area) shied away even further from the absurd scene that was taking up the plaza. Neither guild was really playing the PR game very well today it seemed. Mostly ignoring Ria as she pranced about, Illedrith continued talking to Rei.

[color=fff79a]"...I'd say it'd be pretty obvious from that, wouldn't you say? She always gets like this when she gets reprimanded, and she always comes off with an even worse scolding from the guild master for it in the end."[/color]

Listening for a moment to the fighting words that Ria was shouting out for all the world to hear, Illedrith picked up the pace of her explanation.

[color=fff79a]"Some of your guildmates are bound to take offence to that, and I'd appreciate it if you could stop them from turning this into an all-out brawl while I try to stop Ria from getting herself into too much tro-"[/color]

And once again Illedrith cut herself off, whirling around as she heard the ominous sound of Ria's throne shattering and felt the sinister touch of Vega's anti-magic. In a flash, Illedrith's halberd was out and fully extended; mirroring Vega's stance and accompanied by a trio of mirrors that shimmered into existence around her head like a halo. Ria may have started the provocation, but not only was Vega's reaction over the top, he was also threatening one of her guildmates, and that was not on.

[color=fff79a][b]"Back right the hell off, Ashworth. For once in your miserable life, be the bigger man and walk away; responding to taunts with violence is so [i]very[/i] like you though, isn't it?"[/b][/color]
