[h3][color=bc8dbf][b]Alrune[/b][/color][/h3] He had felt good the moment he had placed himself inbetween the obvious villain and the blonde girl, but somehow his tongue and lips had not obeyed his mind. His words had come out with a delay. He wasn't stuttering. There was surely a clear but other reason for it, even if he couldn't think of one in the spur of the moment. As Maverick's initial words came out, the young man had felt pride fill his heart. He was doing something brave and good which would leave him well respected and possibly earn him some money too. Laughter. Laughter? They were laughing at him? The various visitors of the library had made him a laughing stock for the day. He stopped momentarily in his thought process to look around. They weren't taking him seriously at all, and when he was going to speak up a voice came from the upper floors of the library, as they had a railing overlooking the lower floor. Taunts were hurled by the fluffy-eared boy he had seen before entering the building. He had prior thought about touching them, wondering how they actually felt like. But after hearing the mocking words of the other boy, he could only feel anger. He tightened his hands into fists, as the laughter persisted. How had things come to this? He just wanted to help the girl. The ongoing words of Maverick only now helped to add to confuse him further. What was he on about? All he did was an act of some kind? What about the girl? She still looked upset. [color=bc8dbf][b]"I-I didn't st-stutter! You pervillain!"[/b][/color] He exlaimed in a defensive manner, his fists tightening and arms slightly shaking. Al could feel how his eyes were getting watery from the mix of words from Kurogane and Maverick, coupled with the various laughter still heard around him. He felt nausea as if he needed to throw up. Like a big stone was pressing down on his chest. [color=bc8dbf][i]'This doesn't feel good...'[/i][/color] His thoughts seemed to dullen the voices around him temporarily and take him out of the situation, to the point he didn't even register that Maverick had placed a card between two of his fingers. The purple haired boy began to breathe rapidly as if he was about to have a seizure, but then it seemed to dissapate as Lambda approached in his and Darla's defense. Then someone had touched him, he had momentarily before heard something about a knight, but his eyes were too watery to notice said knight. The one which had touched him had been the blonde girl, the one which had been labeled a princess by the pervillain. She even said something in a language he couldn't recognize. [color=bc8dbf][i]'Huh? Mercy?'[/i][/color] He blinked momentarily and then wiped his face with his arm to take away the natural phenomen of watery eyes. His body twitched in it's complete form the moment that Darla's hand pressed down on his shoulder abit further, she even added her other hand to the other boy which had come to her aid. It was around this time that Al's attention became better, she was actually defending them? The lady which they had rushed in to defend was now defending them? What a twist. [color=bc8dbf][b]"S-she didn't do anything wrong! Honest! This is just a big..uhm..."[/b][/color] He began as he stepped up to one of the staffers currently grabbing Darla's shoulder. He was at a loss of words however, why now of all times? All these words used by politicians and other grown ups, he needed one of those words. [color=bc8dbf][b]"...a case of Accrusifixication."[/b][/color] Al waved with both his hands in front of the staffer, one hand still holding unto his magical guitar, which was clearly something not appreciated in the library. Also that was an actual word right? The blonde girl proceeded to request her knights to deal with the pervillain, at least that's as far as Al understood as the rest of her words seemed to be how rich people talk. But how? He couldn't use his powers inside of the library, much less to harm someone with it? [color=bc8dbf][b]"Su-surrender! I don't want to h-harm you. But you really need to give up your pervillainous ways!"[/b][/color] Al pointed an accusing finger towards Maverick. Oh gods. He was still being observed. These lines better hit home. He might still be able to look cool too. The pervert-gone-villain was certainly one of those who had caused him much pain, but so did the fluffy eared boy on the second floor. He had to make a stance against him too, and now after having taken a few moments to gather himself. Perhaps it was due to Darla and Lambda being present that he felt that he had the kind of support a team would give. [color=bc8dbf][b]"A-and you! Bad dog!"[/b][/color] Alrune pointed an accusing finger up towards Kurogane, as if he had practiced the role of a lawman yelling out objections. [@AtomicNut][@MagusDream][@Aqutanama][@Lewascan2]
