A sweatdrop of embarrassment appeared on the side of Kirei's face and Janus made sure to correct the taskforce on what his name actually was. [color=beige]”Ah, sorry about that, friend. Uh, sometimes I’m terrible with names…”[/color] He apologized, attempting to play it off. He then witnessed the power of the armored man as he left loose fierce bolts of lightning against their Varjan foes. He whistled as a compliment after seeing Janus’ handiwork. [color=beige]”I’ll have to remember not to get your name wrong in the future!”[/color] He said with a playful smirk. 

Both he and Lavinia perked up when it was mentioned that apparently, Janus was once a member of a sect within the Varjan ranks known as the Scarce Legion. [color=lightskyblue]”My, my, I’ve not known Varjans to turn coattails very often.”[/color] Lavi said [color=lightskyblue]”I’m nonetheless curious, but I suppose we’ll save that for later. We have ourselves a live one~”[/color] She eyed the Varjan warrior adorned in armor more sinister than his peers. After saying his peace, he threw the corpse of a samurai at the team, which Lavinia and Kirei easily dodged. 

[color=lightskyblue]”You’ll come to find that life is full of surprises, darling.”[/color] Lavinia said, taunting the warrior with a seductive tone. [color=lightskyblue]”Would you care to put this harlot in her place, Mr. Champion?”[/color] Following Stella’s lead, Lavi let loose a torrent of water of her own. However, she aimed the stream at the champion’s feet, along with the other lesser soldiers that surrounded him. She then froze the water, trapping them in the sand. 

[color=beige]”Takes all the fun out of hittin’ moving targets, but I won’t complain!”[/color] Kirei said. The champion would find it hard to avoid the giant frying pan made by Nyla, having his feet frozen. Kirei then proceeded to materialize [url=https://imgur.com/DBUCB3H] a pair of twin katana with white tsuka[/url], then after taking a crouching stance he completely vanished. Did he flee from the fight?! It would seem not, as four out of the seven axe warriors that gathered around the main target had suddenly fallen. Bloodied gashes in their armor marked where they had taken damage. Enishi then reappeared beside his comrades, as quickly as he had vanished. 

Lavinia shot icy arrows at the other three remaining soldiers, which hopefully would leave the champion standing alone With his feet frozen, it was likely he’d get flattened by Nyla’s frying pan. Unless he had something up his sleeve…

Vară, amidst her regal pose, had an embarrassed look frozen on her face. Did they get the names of their allies mixed up? First thing arriving on the battlefield, and already an error was made? 

[color=firebrick]”You…you mean you’re Sidonus and not Janus?? Oh, oh crap!”[/color] She began to panic for a moment, her hands waving in a flustered manner. [color=firebrick]”I’m sorry! Kirei, it was that dunderhead’s fault, he told me the wrong names! I mean, I was TOTALLY paying attention when you introduced yourselves before…”[/color] By the time she realized it, Sidonus had already left her side and speared a Varjan marauder off of his horse. Coco and Gwen were also doing their part in quelling the attacking bandits, leaving Vară to fend for herself. 

[color=firebrick]”Shit! I need to focus!!”[/color] She said, snapping herself out of her stupor. This was her chance to earn fam- save the innocent from a terrible fate! She noticed a group of three brigands who had cornered a pair of young children. A perfect opportunity!

[color=firebrick]”Stop where you are!”[/color] She yelled in a campy and boisterous voice. [color=firebrick]”I, Vară Riemsianne, will not allow you to harm those children!”[/color] The three stop to turn to the source of the voice, being shocked that it was revealed to be coming from an unassuming young woman. The pair of children looked on with horror on their faces, fearing for the inevitable end. The trio of brigands laughed at the young girl, not taking her seriously. They seemed to be pleased with her beauty, however, and decided to forgo the children and focused their attention on the fire demon. 

[color=firebrick]”[i]Firefly.[/i]”[/color]

Upon uttering her technique, the attackers were subjected to a barrage of little wisps of vermillion sparks. Dozens of tiny flames pelted the men, exploding upon impact and tearing right through their armor, charring their flesh as a result. After her assault finished, the burned remains of the men crumbled to the ground along with their charred weapons. The kids looked with shocked faces, the young woman managed to save them! 

Walking quickly over to the children, she knelt down and began speaking to them in a low voice. [color=firebrick]”Hey kids, rejoice, for you are safe now. Please run away somewhere safe while you can. Oh, and one more thing…”[/color] She got especially close to the kids, which made them a bit uncomfortable. 

[color=firebrick]”Make sure you tell everyone that Vară Riemsianne was the one that saved you, get me? That’s [b]Vară Riemsianne[/b], don’t forget it![/color]
