Both of them found the jest quite funny until a primal fear enveloped them entirely. The two stared blankly at Menzai as they felt the urge of fight-or-flight tug at their backs. That very feeling Menzai produced was so intense that it seemed to conjure a faint imagining of a large snarling wolf. And though faint, it felt very real as the twins looked into the maw of the beast before them. Darius was instinctively shifting into a fighter stance while Dante reached for his knife. And just as suddenly as it arrived, the feeling ceased with Menzai taking notice of something off in the distance neither of the two could see. [color=D3943B]“Shit,”[/color] Darius spoke under his breath as he slowly relaxed. He almost felt like he had been holding his breath. Things began to calm and Menzai took a single step forward before he finally spoke to them. He explained the feeling they both felt as uncurdled bloodlust and then proceeded to ask them the purpose of his demonstrating it to them. [color=D3943B]“Well… um. Besides scaring the shit out of us for teasing you, it kind of reminded me of being in the ring with some of the guys I’ve fought against. You kind of let out this aura of intimidation so you can win the fight before it even starts. You make a guy jumpy, and all his instincts, his drills, and even his muscle memory go out the window.”[/color] Darius answered with his tone growing more confident as he spoke on the subject matter from his experience. [color=E0C114]“Like Darius said, I saw it as a tactic to either reduce morale in your target or as something to be cautious about and aware of your surrounding. We need to be ready to act since Avalia has many dangerous creatures.”[/color] Dante removed his hand from the hilt of his knife and straightened his stance. [color=D3943B]“Yeah, like Darius said,”[/color] He playfully elbowed Dante before taking a step toward Menzai. [color=D3943B]“But I’ve never seen anything like [i]that[/i] though. Not gonna lie, you had me worried for a second.”[/color] Darius was all smiles, grateful that Menzai was just demonstrating. Dante looked over to his brother and pushed Darius to the ground. [color=E0C114]“Don’t mock me, you idiot.”[/color] [/color]
