"[color=indianred]If I had wanted you dead, you would've been dead.[/color]" Bast heard the Varjan replying, saying that he wanted to lift the nightmares that haunted their dreams or something.

Bast was already irritated and annoyed by the situation, but hearing that he could have killed Bast if he wanted was the last drop. Such audacity! Every second that it passed, Bast's expression became darker and darker. He knew he couldn't kill that man, but he wouldn't save himself from a good beating and humiliation. Bast wouldn't let someone stain his honor like that and remain unpunished...

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the second Bast was almost activating the card, a winged, golden haired armored woman sent him flying back through the same window Bast and him entered the warehouse.

"[color=red]Hey there. Are you alright?[/color]"
"[color=red]That was a close one, wasn't it?[/color]" Bast heard her asking with a soft, concerned, but somewhat tired voice.

[color=C6DEFF]"Thank you... Miss Valerie, I suppose?"[/color] Bast said, cleaning the dust off his clothes with his hands with the card still floating with blue flames around it.

[color=C6DEFF]"I guess that it's for the best. Neither Gina or Eilidh would be happy if I killed him."[/color] Bast murmured to himself in an annoyed tone, getting the card with his fingers and making it disappear with a flourished hand movement.

[color=C6DEFF]"Varjan warriors... There is no talking nor reasoning with them. It's useless to try to reason with such barbaric animals..."[/color] Bast said, with an obviously irritated expression.

[color=C6DEFF]"I'm sorry to show you such unsightly display, miss Valerie. But I believe you are well acquainted with the Varjans and share my point of view regarding them, yes?"[/color] Bast asked, closing his eyes and sighing, calming down himself.

But before he or the winged woman could say anything more, a familiar voice came from outside.

[color=9B1436]"Bast? Are you alright?"[/color] Eilidh asked, peering inside the warehouse.

[color=C6DEFF]"Don't worry. I'm ok. Irritated and annoyed, but ok. Next time I wont be so kind to give them time to talk..."[/color] He said, finishing cleaning and straightening his clothes.

[color=C6DEFF]"What about you and Gina? What happened with the other brigands? Are you two ok?"[/color] He asked, looking towards Eilidh.

Freyr kept silent as Haley spoke. He was glad that she was so understanding and kind. But he knew that it wouldn't work. He knew he shouldn't have let his feelings take control of him... She was a Siren after all... She was probably used with others having feelings for her. That was probably the reason why she 'rejected' him, or at least he thought she had rejected him, in such a delicate way.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bart came back together with Talia, asking how the fence was going.

[color=8dc73f]"Yeah... It's going ok."[/color] Freyr said, with a distant expression.

"[color=f26522]Hey you two, me and Freyr are going to take a break for a bit since we've been at it for too long. But don't worry, we won't take too long. Don't really want to have fine ladies like you to be doing backbreaking work.[/color]" Bart said, probably wanting to know how things went with Haley. It wasn't that Freyr didn't like Bart trying to help him, but at that moment, he preferred to be alone, but not wanting to show others that there was something going on, he simply went with him. There was also the fact that he didn't have a choice, as Bart wrapped his arm around Freyr, dragging him away.

Exactly how Freyr expected, Bart asked how things went with Haley after they walked away.

[color=8dc73f]"Letting my feelings take control over me was a foolish thing to do. She is a Siren. She surely is used with others having feelings for her."[/color] Freyr said, with the same distant expression from before.

[color=8dc73f]"It's probably for the best. A Viera and a Siren... Such a foolish dream..."[/color] Freyr said, sighing.
