And there was Damian being touchy again. What was with him and grabbing shoulders?

[color=00746b]"Ever the showman, aren't you?"[/color] Nolan said to Damian. This man loved to speak loudly and draw attention to himself, especially for his long drawn out speeches, but at least this time he was keeping it short and sweet. The younger S-Class shrugged Damian's hand off his shoulder as he looked on at that the guild and how lively it was; those two had been gone for two years and yet, it was like they never left at all. They were leaders, people that looked up to them and shone brightly wherever they were. Nolan was not that kind of a person, he did not have the charisma or warmness that they openly expressed to everyone in the guild nor did he want to. He did not shine like they did, they, who represented what a guild mage ought to be. For all of his talent and strength, Nolan just couldn't be like them. 

The more things changed the more things stayed the same. He smirked at Damian and said ever confidently, [color=00746b]"Alright, I'm game. I'm far stronger than I was two years ago."[/color] Damian had certainly brought enough attention as now the guild seemed to be buzzing at the prospect of watching their four S-Class mages duke it out. Even Rose seemed to be quite interested in how much stronger the 'younger' mages have become. Nolan arched his brow and said, [color=00746b]"You're literally five-years-older than I am. Why are you acting as if you're about to hit fifty?"[/color] 

There was being an old spirit and then there simply was Rose. If she was an old spirit then Karn was perpetually young. Nolan waved back at Karn, albeit with less energy, but he probably didn't notice since he was hiding behind Penny. Odd, but he did not really think hard about it since another person that matched the effeminate mage's energy. Brianna's nicknames never failed to put a scowl on his face. [color=00746b]"And you never seem to cease with your nicknames."[/color] He said as he stepped back to keep a few feet of space in between them. 

Meanwhile Dalton snickered at Nolan. [color=662d91]"Well, Mr. Waltzie is all bark, but no bite."[/color] The Exceed knew he was pushing his luck, but he found that enjoyed pushing his partner's buttons. [color=662d91]"He's been all pouty because he's been pining-"[/color] He didn't even get a chance to finish that sentence when a white, spectral hand manifested over his mouth and clamped it shut. [color=662d91]"Hmph?!"[/color]

[color=00746b]"He speaks of lies and slander."[/color] said Nolan, though his eyes were now averting everyone and his cheeks were flushed red. Tearsy didn't miss a beat and followed up with her own inquiries. At this point he was too used to having random women speaking into his head. [color=00746b]"Fine, just peachy."[/color]

[color=662d91]Hrm Hrm![/color] Dalton was trying to say something, but Nolan still did not release the hand's grip.

For once, Nolan actually felt some sympathy for Brianna considering that they are in a bit of a similar situation. [color=00746b]"I feel your pain."[/color]
