[color=6ecff6][i]"Shit she looks like she wants to cry"[/i][/color]

Not that he couldn't understand the [i]why[/i] of such reaction, hell he would be on the same boat if he wasn't so, fucking, TIRED! and annoyed, couldn't forget about that. Still, tears were not something any of them needed right now, they... well they weren't in the best of positions right now, so that only left his favorite tactic.

Distract.

Distract until the problem became too big to ignore, luckily Adam had provided just the thing.

[color=6ecff6]"If we are going to have a group hug I want you all to know, my safeword is Chayanne, nothing worse than saying your dad's name in the middle of it"[/color]

Ha

He stood up from the wall he was resting on and rolled his shoulder, damn the anchor was heavy [color=6ecff6]"Full seriousness though, nice to see you walking around Lily, I knew a cray- a genious wizard like you would't kick the bucket by something like that"[/color] A lie, he knew exactly how bad were her chances had they not found the hospital on time [color=6ecff6]"So, let me get you up to speed, we are in Valhaim right now and we are waiting for Mac and Joji to join us to head to the Adventurer's Guild to get rid of the Cube of Doom, they are not here because they"[/color] The idea of laying briefly crossed his mind but he dismissed it, she would learn about it sooner or later, better take the bandage off now when they were safe [color=6ecff6]"...They went to give a proper burial to Clive, he and Arthur didn't make it"[/color]

And now he made the mood worse, great!

Better turn it around, making his voice clear so all the members of his party could hear it he started speaking again [color=6ecff6]"Don't mope though, they died protecting others and they wouldn't want us to stop because of it, better to respect their wishes and keep going forward"[/color] Not his best speech but neither the worse, what else could he speak about to take their minds out of the deaths?

Ah!

Focusing once more he felt deep within himself for the new growths that had appeared in his mental library,mmh?, it appeared that his spell slots had grown by three rather than one, though they felt weaker than the other two spells he originally had, what was more attention grabbing however was the shinning new Blessings he could felt inside himself [color=6ecff6]"Also, I don't know if anyone else noticed but after the fight my crystal shone purple for a moment and I think I can cast more spells and another two blessings"[/color] He paused for a moment to consider, then his face scrunched off into a grimace [color=6ecff6]"One of them feels weird though"[/color]

Like opening an apple and finding a tomato.

[color=6ecff6]"What about y'all? Did you also gain something?"[/color] A sudden memory came unbidden to his mind and he could help but whirl and face directly to the resident swordman [color=6ecff6]"You! Since when can you teleport Zell!? What the fuck man? I showed you mine so why didn't you show me yours?"[/color]

He made subtle eye contact with Zell, if he could trust anyone to share the same last two braincells as him it was this guy, [color=6ecff6][i]"Let them focus on the antics, don't let them think about other things"[/i][/color]

Crossing his arms in front of his chest he glared [color=6ecff6]"Well? what can you say in your defense?"[/color]
