Wolf grimaced. He was way too tired for this. The girl started gathering energy under the intent of "saving" him from Kiwi. He really didn't want to use his powers right now. His headache had [i]just[/i] started to fade... slightly. That said, Kiwi moved to shield [i]him[/i] despite [i]her[/i] being the target!

It was a bold strategy, but it seemed to work out as she recognized, with some dismay, the other girl(?).

An individual she called "The Bane." Ominous. 

However, "The Bane" offered to help them figure out what was going on.

[color=778899]"Alright, fine, you can help us figure things out. I don't know if you were close enough to hear, but there was screaming a minute ago. It's back [i]that[/i] way."[/color] Wolf's exasperation was apparent, as they'd had to waste time on these two instead of going directly to the source. Maybe he'd get over it if they actually proved useful in dealing with whatever it was. He then narrowed his eyes at the first girl, Alyona, [color=778899]"And don't even think of attacking Kiwi."[/color]

Hopefully, in the end, [i]none[/i] of them would be needed.
