Ah, of course, serving people individually or in the same manner as a waiter during a ball wasn't Mark's style at all. Too much effort. Not that she was calling lazy or anything of the sort of course, just that he preferred the methods that caused less fuss and didn't involve more effort than needed. Though of greater importance to herself right now was the bowl of food that was offered to it by Markovis at this moment in time. [color=333A7E]"I-I see. Thank you."[/color] Gratefully accepting the much-required sustenance with a quick bow of her head, the blonde had to physically refrain from drooling all over it. Though the exceptional aroma that wafted from it made it quite a task indeed.

[color=333A7E]"W-well if there's anything I-I can do to help, please don't be afraid to ask."[/color] Jasmine watched as Mark left to go find and serve some food to Trinity, eager to begin eating her own portion of the dish and brought a spoonful of rice up to her lips and blew gently on it.

Sometimes food never tasted anywhere near as nice as what they smelled, though this certainly wasn't one of those times as she took a moment to appreciate and savour the taste, as any cook or food lover, in general, would when indulging in a good meal. Not that she ate it slowly, oh no. If anything, she ate it the opposite of slowly. It hadn't even been a minute yet and she had already devoured more than half the bowl, part her current starved state and part because the food was that good.

Though a thought occurred to her as scooped out the last bits of the rice from her bowl. How long had she left Rajah unsupervised?

Shiro watched unfazed, if not a little annoyed, as Hagar rose back to his feet. [color=ECECE2]"Tch."[/color] Guess it wouldn't be that easy huh? Oh well, if he wanted some more punishment then the young woman was more than happy to dish it out. [color=ECECE2]"I've been called such, and worse, but ruining the fun of some lowlife poacher scumbag worries me about the same as your bathing abilities."[/color] To make her point known, she covered her nose though without changing from the cold, deadpan look she gave him.

Not even the activation of his spell seemed to cause any change in her body language, the only reaction it brought forth was a glance around as her eyes actively studied their movements. Henri's feeble attempt to disperse some of the blades was surely noted, or rather the reaction of the swords. It was of little concern to her, she was confident of being able to blink back out but thought against it as she glanced over to Henri as he took a stance.

[color=ECECE2]"No need to take this worm so seriously Mr Baptiste, we'll-no, I'll wrap this up in under two minutes, maybe three at most."[/color] Even more brazen than the words that left her mouth was the way she started walking towards the poacher, no guard, no intent coming off of her at all. Just a casual little stroll. Then, in the blink of an eye, she was gone. Almost instantly she was within his guard, her forehead crashing against his with a sickening thud as her sudden movement no doubt left him startled, Shiro hardening her skin already in the inevitable event of a counter-attack as she began to deliver a series of six or seven punches aimed at his chest, neck and head before moving to start deflecting the blades to minimise the damage she would take when he began to get his bearings back.

Hopefully, while she did this, the no-good squid over there could capitalise on the opening she was trying to give him.

While she didn't seem convinced this was the best course of action for Zhulie's sake, Manami couldn't fault sending her to help the stressed out other younger girl. Especially with only Bullet there to try and help comfort her. Manami wasn't quite as...dismissive of Bullet as others, namely Shiro, but for as much as he tried...he uh was a bit brash.
 
[color=916C8E]"If you say so...but I'm honestly out of my field of expertise here."[/color] Healing medicine she was at least familiar with, but not all of... [i]this[/i]. Not that it was going to stop the former dark mage from helping, she could at least follow and listen to Meredith's instructions after all. Though she looked now at the  small copper cymbals that the older woman gave to her uncertainly. What was she meant to do with these exactly? Suppose there was no harm in her trying though right? If there was, surely Meredith wouldn't hand an amateur these right? So after a moment of watching the older woman movements around the two younger witches, Manami took a deep breath before stepping forward. 

She wasn't entirely sure of what her actions were doing, but the soft glowing that seemed to intensify with each successive clang from either herself or Meredith lead her to believe whatever they were making required some magical energy input, which this step must be about. She seemed hesitant again at the thought before quickly shaking her head. This didn't count, no it certainly didn't. Besides she was only offering magical energy to help someone in need. A worthy cause if nothing else. After the brief moment of hesitant, she went back to clanging the cymbals, hoping it went unnoticed.

A smile spread across his features as Amaya accepted his outstretched arm to hang onto, making sure not to walk too fast for the shorter slayer as the other two followed after them shortly after. That and he wanted to enjoy this simple little moment. [color=A7CBA5]"Well anything I can do to help, I'll gladly do Amaya. Everyone has their own flaws they have to work through after-all, it's what makes us human."[/color] These were words he himself was trying to apply to his own mindset when he went about doing things. Everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses, but weaknesses were less of an issue with friends as they could cover for them and offer their own strengths. Like actually having a reasonable build to not be trampled by crowds, his training certainly improving his physical attributes.

As they moved through the town, it was inevitable the crowd would seem begin to form. And that was before the festival and subsequent exhibition match were taken into the equation, especially as they got closer to the newly built stadium. He couldn't help but laugh at the antics of the fiesty little furball atop his head, looking down with a grin at Amaya. [color=A7CBA5]"When isn't she bossy I suppose huh? Every time I've seen her she seems to be telling someone what to do."[/color] Now he was teasing the exceed slightly, but honestly it wasn't far off the mark. But he also did understand she was doing it to try and give the ice slayer some space, which he was more than happy to let the exceed do if it made Amaya more comfortable.

[color=A7CBA5]"I don't know, she seems quite comfortable up there."[/color] Glancing up atop his head as Joshua came over as he spoke, Cody looked around as they entered the stadium for a place for their group to sit at. Upon spotting a good little row of seats that weren't too crowded yet were also in a good vantage spot to watch the event, he would lead the others over there but not before letting Josh know where they were sitting in the event he broke off from their group.

It would seem they turned up at a good time though, with the introductions beginning shortly after they sat down. Seemed like it was showtime.
