Fer took a deep breath as he listened to what sounded very much like admonition.  He patiently waited for Lev to finish and then just nodded at the Spear Hero not wanting to get into a debate about the fact that Rin was the one who had judged them first.  Despite any challenges in her past life or even current questing, nothing gave her the right to come barging in and start using Cole as a punching bag.
Still, he could agree with the Spear that a united front would be much more successful against the waves than broken bands of Heroes.  If it meant extinction or working with that hyped up bitch, the Shield Hero was able to swallow any resentment if it meant that their victory would not only mean survival for this world, but that he could be returned to his. 

At Lev’s mention of being mindful of what he said Fer merely shrugged. [color=0054a6] “I stand by what I said.  And I don’t mind people thinking me as one who just follows the Sword around.” [/color] He turned to Cole as he said this. [color=0054a6] “I would gladly follow Cole around and protect him.”[/color]  He kept in pace with Lev as they walked.  Like a true charismatic person, the blonde Sword Hero was amiable towards the wolf girl.  

The smile disappeared at Edusa’s comment.  It was a gentle sort of back hand implying that Rivia had been in the wrong to follow him and spend time with him.  He narrowed his eyes at the girl.  Of course a Royal would think that the other person is at fault and overlook their own complicity.  Still, he was glad that Rivia could at the very least not have to worry about animosity on that flank. 

Fer tried to ignore the playful banter between the royal and Cole.  After all, it was in the Sword’s nature to be friendly.  He would not begrudge him that.  Nor would he begrudge him the fact that he had chosen to stay with the new pair instead of seeking him out to train.  The other hero did not have any contract or any other such reason to be bound to Fer.  Still, there was a slight burning sensation in the Shield’s chest. 

The Shield Hero looked towards Lev at the question.  [color=0054a6]“I don’t really have any questions.  I am sure you are quite capable with that spear.  I am just glad you are willing to work together.  As far as I am concerned, we can head out any time.  However, I will not begrudge you any information you wish to share.  Especially if it will somehow help us during the upcoming battel against the waves.” [/color]
