It still bothered her to have let Aya go off by herself, even a week later. While normally she wouldn't care about other people a great deal it was still her job as a noble to try and make life easier for others. At least, that was Vesta's belief. Others unfortunately didn't share such a view. But also to Vesta, Aya was basically a small child who didn't stand a chance in the world by herself. However she was sure that no matter how much it was bothering her, it was bothering Avery at least ten times more. She hadn't seen much of him today nor during the trip as he seemed to be keeping to himself for the time being. Aya was in a similar boat to himself after all, but at least he was lucky enough (and smart enough) to have gotten into the Celestia Household. That and if her goal was to be obtained, then she thought that Aya might've had a hand to play. Alas, she at least managed to get that Dante boy on board and the capable looking Heinrich as well. Despite him apparently not having any experience with weaponry or magic. But Vesta would tutor him in the ways of magic, he certainly looked like he had talent by the bucketloads so it would be worth her time. It was at this moment that a sudden noise now got broke the concentration of the Celestia Mage. Something was happening. That squire of Malakus' was yelling out something which Vesta didn't quite get the time to catch, but it was pretty damned obvious that it wasn't good news. Avery was slower to react than others to the sudden onslaught, despite he himself already having been outside the carriage and wandering at a slower pace a few metres behind the group. He too like Vesta was in deep thought, but was snapped put of it by the sounds of battle. Finally. He was getting bored of just walking all day! By the time he had ran after the others Vesta had already leapt out of the wagon and placed a gloved hand on the ground beneath her. Damn, too many people moving around to get a proper reading on the enemy. Though she could tell from sight alone that they were up against...some killer Mabeast rabbits? Ah so these must be Oousagi? Vesta had read about them but had yet to face any despite her lengthy time in eliminating Mabeasts for the Kingdom, as is the main duty of the Celestia's. Avery meanwhile had stopped short of the others as he noticed the Oousagi. Wouldn't do for Avery to get too close. So instead he was going to do what he did best, stay back and support from afar. Twirling his staff for no reason other than to be a complete show-off, he now leveled the gem residing in it towards the Oousagi attacking Alexander and Alepth. [color=ed1c24]"Huma!"[/color] Avery fired off a couple of shards of ice towards the group of rabbits aiming for their legs, before the soft, familiar red glow of his staff indicated to him his next spirit was ready. And what better to combat killer demon rabbits...then a giant, rabbit devouring snake? [color=a0410d]"I never intended on letting any of these vile creatures live regardless Mr Firebelly."[/color] Vesta fired off in response to Malakus as the earth mage had covered the distance in no time at all, going straight past Avery to place herself between him and any of the Oousagi which might try to target him. With a swift movement of her hand she ripped chunks of earth out of the ground and now fired them towards the long grass where the other Oousagi were trying to stay hidden. But so long as they were on the ground, Vesta would be able to find them. Being able to hit the little devils was a completely different matter, as they seemed quite agile. She did however want to finish this before that god awful looking militia turned up. She couldn't afford novices to get in her way, for their safety as well as her own. Funnily enough however despite being able to notice and feel the militia coming, she had yet to notice her travel companion for the past week in Aleph. Probably because he wasn't being loud and rambunctious.
