Flin gently placed his hand on Noru's hand, gently removing it off his shoulder despite the slight annoyance on his face. [color=92278f]"First off..."[/color] He muttered, pointing at Noru's nose with his right hand. [color=92278f]"...Don't compare me to a kid."[/color] He said calmly, before lowering his arm and turning towards the captain and Lyullia. [color=92278f]"I never stated that I would do it, I said that I wanted too. I know how to follow orders, don't worry about that."[/color] He stated. [color=92278f]"I never intended to actually face the collosal threat head-on. Especially not on my own."[/color] He added, taking a deep breath. [color=92278f]"Even if I chose to disobey orders and do it, I'd be more clever about it. I was merely curious about them. There are plenty of ways to deal with or avoid dangerous creatures like that, as I'm sure you're aware of, captain."[/color] Flin stated, as a devilish smirk appeared across his face. [color=92278f]"Don't worry, if any of you try to take it on by yourself head-on, I'll be sure to leave you behind too."[/color] He scoffed. [color=92278f]"But, points taken. Don't worry, I ain't suicidal."[/color] He remained lazily on his chair after all he'd said, looking over everyone. [color=92278f]"Let's hope we don't run into that thing, or we'll have wasted most of our time since we're told to retreat. Besides patrolling the route, I suppose."[/color]
