He had long since accepted that he was going to be given stupid nicknames so he no longer fought against it, as long it wasn't really demeaning. If that were the case, whoever made it up would've been buried six-feet in the ground. [color=00746b]"Just keep the nicknames down a bit will ya? I swear, everyone and their mother has a bloody nickname for me these days."[/color] He just rolled his eyes, knowing that she was not going to let up now that Dalton filled her head with ideas. The Exceed would have answered her question, but he was still preoccupied. [color=662d91]"Hmf hmmmf!"[/color] Dalton's mouth was stilled covered by the spectral hand Nolan summoned and it certainly was not letting go anytime soon try as he might as he tugged at it. Really, it was more for his own good that he couldn't say anything. [color=662d91]Hrm, hrrrm, hrrrm![/color] His whines were muffled until the hand disappeared with a snap of Nolan's fingers. Dalton groaned and rubbed his sore lips. [color=662d91]"Was that necessary?"[/color] [color=00746b]"You had it com-! Give me a heads up first!"[/color] Nolan lifted his arms up when Karn wrapped himself around his waist. His eyes averted the hyper mage when he acknowledged Nolan's hard work to become an S-Class mage. [color=00746b]"Give me a break, it was not like I was actively trying to get a promotion."[/color] If his face was red before, then watching Karn transform into Nolan and saying he was going to work hard to impress Ariel made him go supernova. [color=00746b]"God dammit Karn! Don't say that with my face!"[/color] If there was any semblance of Nolan's brooding façade, it was completely shattered now. And there was Brianna again with her teasing. [color=00746b]"It's hardly a secret that we're dating. No need to make a big deal out of it."[/color] He grumbled to himself. From the corner of his eye he saw Sasha's little tike all snugged up to Penny. Well, he greeted Damian so he may as well welcome his colleague back as well if out of curtesy. [color=00746b]"Good to see you are well, Penny."[/color] He said monotonously. An attempt was made. Nolan did have a small smile for the toddler in her arms and waved at her before he turned his attention to Sasha. [color=00746b]"Oh, hey Sasha. I'm teaching at the ballet studio again on Sunday at the usual time. Feel free to drop Faith off for some exercise."[/color] Surprisingly enough, Nolan was friendly by his standards to Sasha. Despite what that cold, brooding exterior would lead anyone to believe, he enjoyed doting Faith so he always made these offers or gave bits of candy as a treat. The excitement through in the guild was through the roof again though the most that came out Nolan was a chuckle. Well, it looked like they were going to have to get ready for a festival!

Enma stretched his jaw wide out with a yawn, his sharp pearly whites seemed to be even more pronounced this way. [color=ed1c24]"Yo, what did I miss? Have Prince and Michael hooked up yet?"[/color] He said half jokingly as he pulled up a chair from a table and dragged it over to where the main crowd seemed to be. The chair moaned and creaked as he sat down. His eyes caught the appearance of an unknown white haired girl. [color=ed1c24]"Who's the little lady? We got ourselves a new recruit?"[/color] He leaned forward to Keiko, using his Kanabō to keep his balance. It did not occur to him that his... unusual appearance could have been frightening to her. Heck, it was the kind of mug that made babies cry at a passing glance. The larger than life Oni grinned, bearing those sharp fangs of his and said, [color=ed1c24]"You can call me Enma. If you have any questions about the guild or me, don't be afraid to ask."[/color]
