When smoke from the collision of the various attacks blinded Zestasia from seeing what was directly in front of him, the most the blond teen could do was stand there. Still, that didn’t mean what he heard didn’t have him on edge. He heard screams. He heard his brother yelling out to Clara and he heard Clara say something back, and then more screams came after. But after the long moments that felt they were drawn out intentionally, Zes balled his fists in anticipation.

And then, like it was nothing, silence took over and that was probably the worst part for him. At least when he heard his brother cry out his famous battle cry or Clara speaking to him or the monster roaring about, he could venture a guess, but with nothing heard — not even a single word — the empty feeling in the pit of his stomach grew and grew until the smoke had cleared. It had then, like a snap of a finger or the switch of a lever, been lifted, a smile on his formerly-pale face being the only reaction that didn’t result in Zestasia cheering as loud as he can.

[color=daa520]“They did it!”[/color] He cheered, launching himself into a high jump and doing a celebratory flip. [color=daa520]“[i]We[/i] did it!”[/color] Zestasia continued the celebration even though his part in it was minimal at best. 

Now that he was finally able to see what happened, Zestasia approached where Pagonia and Clara were and the slain beast. His stomach turned at the sight of whatever passed for blood of this particular species, so he turned away, choosing to keep his eyes on Clara and his brother. [color=daa520]“I thought for sure you two were toast. For our sake, though, I’m glad my worst fears didn’t come to light.”[/color] Zestasia laughed, folding his arms behind his head. [color=daa520]"So, what now?"[/color]
