FF5353

Magnus' reddened face turned into a beaming smile after Emilio confirmed that they were friends. It was reassuring to know that now, Sonarrans would be friendly to them...though, now Magnus was wondering what would have happened had he gone before, what with being a very obvious monster and all. Waving goodbye to Emilio and his companion, Magnus picked up the satchel of gold, figuring that they could split it fairly once they returned to the guild and were safe to count it all up. Besides, Bart needed money for the guild, too. 

Now, Yang properly introduced herself, leading to Magnus bowing back to her. [color=FF5353][b]"O-Oh, don't worry about seniority or anything. And, yeah, the guild house isn't too far from here overall."[/b][/color] 

[color=FF5353][b]"N-N-Nice to meet you, Knightmare."[/b][/color] Magnus said, trembling a bit as he greeted the intimidating knight, finally known to him by name. Knightmare to him looked more fearsome than even the Varjan champion had. [color=FF5353][b]"Let's head on home for now...Thanks again, you two."[/b][/color] he said, trying his best to not piss off the heavily armed and armored individual before him while properly expressing his heartfelt gratitude to both Yang and Knightmare. Taking the front, he would get to leading his companions on home, thankfully have a good sense of direction despite the rather wild chase they'd been put through.

Nephele was about to fume more of her paralytic poison, but upon seeing the roach just take flight out of the guild building, a sigh of relief escaped her lips. Neil's question felt rather rude, and as such she saw Maria begin to weep, she poked his cheek with a claw far too sharp to normally consider doing so. [color=A9A9A9][b]"Please, consider how terrifying it is to have a small, fast flying creature buzzing about while you're nude. I doubt you'd much like it if a spider crawled from the ceiling onto your shoulder while you were reading. Same principle, really."[/b][/color] she explained, while keeping Neil's head on her tail. Looking to Maria, she wanted to offer her some comfort at least, gingerly patting her friend on the shoulder with one hand. [color=A9A9A9][b]"There there...don't worry about them, Maria. Some things are meant to be wild and free. For now, all we can do is wish that your little friend is going to live a happy, fulfilling life doing...whatever those things do."[/b][/color] the dragoness said, trying to not so openly display her absolute disgust at the prospect of the black bug living under the same roof as her and the other adventurers. 

Whatever aid could be offered to Neil was rather minimal, though hopefully his body might build up some resistance to the poison. Humming to herself in thought, a small smile crossed Nephele's lips before she turned to Neil once more, looking him in the eyes. [color=A9A9A9][b]"You'd like to get stronger, yes? Why not ask that white haired minotaur friend of yours? Or perhaps you'd be more interested in learning magic?"[/b][/color] she asked, wanting to help her roommate improve as an adventurer. Humans, as she'd come to know, were relatively frail creatures, and as such needed a large amount of training to match a monster in combat. However, while monsters tended to be niche in their skills, humans could largely adapt to any form of training or skillset. This was likely why Human Heroes were so fearsome in battle; Versatility won over inflexibility, after all. Perhaps...Neil could become such a hero?
