Even though Kaden offered the other man help up, Damian's stance hardly relaxed until the other two from Steel Hydra were gone, though he had no intention of joining their ranks. If he'd wanted to join a corporate monstrosity, he'd have already sought them out. Or better yet, if he wanted that much nosiness, he'd have stayed with the Royal Army. Turning to his guildmates, he didn't reply to Kaden's comment about interceding with the other two mages and went over to stand by Ria as he walked away and told her to consider his offer. [color=B20C0C]"You're welcome, ungrateful bastard,"[/color] he muttered as he kneeled down to reassure Carmilla and Jaëger he was alright. Glancing at Ria, he sighed.

[color=B20C0C]"I know, I know, trying to stop a fight in the middle of the street was probably dumb, but the lad shouldn't have been fightin' two on one, and I couldnae let that stand. But I also acknowledge that it could have drawn some unwanted attention. As I understand it, Fenixtear's still under a lot of scrutiny, especially since it isn't a corporate-like business. I apologize for my part in the mess."[/color]
