Jaege didn't fall over. He was a skilled wrestler with an adept sense of balance, his legs automatically bending and weathering much of the shock. At the peak of it's intensity, he went into a near-kneel to get a third limb on the ground to make certain he'd stay upright. Then, afterward, he simply straightened up as though nothing had happened.

Veitaru, on the other hand, had a Jaege to hold onto.

Jaege responded to Lethe, [color=4DE474]"Why would you make key out of stone?"[/color] He paused for a moment, [color=4DE474]"I kid, I kid, this is like stone at top of arch, yes? How is it special? Would be silly if we all got tricked by decoy and you had to send us in again."[/color]

Veitaru meanwhile was just staring from behind Jaege's legs at Naviela, thoroughly distracted from the task at hand. Poor Noi, giant robot is upstaged by little desert woman in the eyes of a child, what is the world coming to?

Jaege continued, [color=4DE474]"Also, any reason we should not retreat and prepare properly for this? Torches and lanterns for those who do not already have them? Weapons for those who left them at home?"[/color]
