	Felix was surprised when Zenith has protested him going on the mission, it wasn't that he didn't appreciate his concern, it was just that his concern did not quite make sense to him. He had gone on several missions by himself before, and Zenith had never batted an eye. So the question naturally came to Felix's mind, "How could this be any different", Felix knew that this was a dragon but he never actually fought one, so he did not know how dangerous a dragon truly could be. In his mind, this was just a harder mission which would require all of us, was the risk of death really that high? [color=39b54a]"Zenith, if all of us are working together no one should get hurt, we can do this". Besides, we have a supportive mage on our team if I somehow get caught it out I should be just fine because Leon can always shield me".[/color] Felix's tone was not annoyed or pissed off really, he was just genuinely curious for the reason of why he could not go and help slay the dragon, it would be really good practice for him anyways. He was just about to head out when he heard Ria beginning to defend him.

	Not many things pissed Felix off, Ria's maternal instincts were greatly appreciated even if Felix had not ignored them, but Ria had crossed the line, she had insulted his honor and pride.  Felix turned to her, his eyes glowing with determination and as he spoke he pumped up his fisty.[color=39b54a]"Ria, I understand you wanting to stand up for me and all, but you have to let me fight my own battles. My dad was just my age when he completed his first deadly quest, and I want to be just like him. All my life, all I ever wanted was to meet him for the first time because I wanted to know what was so great about being a mage that he would go and abandon his own son. But the only way I am ever going to do that is if I  stop relying upon others for things like this. Do you really think he became a God of Ishgar, by letting others fight his own battles? Of course not!"[/color]. After his short speech to Ria, he turned back to Zenith and exclaimed [color=39b54a]"Besides, why are you getting mad at Holly for? It was Old Man Marduk who decided to bring me along anyway." [/color]

	He then grabbed his backpack and bolted through the door, his face full of determination ready to prove himself to everybody.
