[b][color=D3943B]Time:[/color][/b] Morning
[b][color=E0C114]Location:[/color][/b] Gaurav Village
[b][color=D3943B]Interactions:[/color][/b] Menzai [@samreaper], Cyrus [@Helo], Ophelia [@princess] and Viola [13org]
[b][color=E0C114]Equipment:[/color][/b] 2 shot glasses, 300 Amas total, Flowers from Phia, Dante’s cellphone, and Dante’s knife[hr]

[color=D3943B]“Fuck.”[/color] Darius couldn’t help but utter as he witnessed Dante collapse after everything that had occurred. Avalia was really something and Darius was getting intimately familiar with it. To see a gargantuan bird was enough, but to fight it as they did was well beyond what he expected to experience. The altercation seemed to punch him with a potent dose of reality. For the most part, Darius found his time in Avalia to be like a continuation of the vacation he and Dante had planned. 

The dust was still settling but Darius knew the fight had met its conclusion. The roc was completely devastated but not before it managed to get Menzai. Darius was reluctant to move from his spot. Sure, he had only known Menzai for a short time but they had spent every day with the stoic wolf-man. And to think Darius and Dante weren't quite considerate to him. They trained as he instructed but they also made it a daily headache most of the time and tested his patience.

With so much to take in, Darius kind of just stood there for a moment.

[color=D3943B]“You gotta move.”[/color] He whispered to himself, talking through his actions as he typically did whenever he felt stuck. He trudged to Dante lying face-first in the dirt. He didn't even have words for him at the moment. Dante helped kill the roc but Darius was oblivious to what the hell his brother was doing afterward. With an unenthusiastic sigh, Darius rolled Dante onto his back. The unconscious twin was heavy but he was confident he could lift him. He sat Dante up and proceeded to lift him from underneath his arms. This was the hard part since Dante ensured he was almost built like a margarita glass, so he made sure to quickly get his shoulders under Dante's right arm before bending down to reach for his right leg so he could hoist him into a fireman's carry. Another sigh escaped him. [color=D3943B]“What the fuck were you even thinking? Like how do you fuck up a W like that?”[/color] Darius complained as he trudged through the dust-filled air. 

He rambled and cursed on and on until he heard a quick gust of wind. Then and there, he noticed Jin right beside him. Darius recognized him from the village but simply forgot his name since they hardly had many interactions. Jim wasn't alone either as several other members of the Gaurav Village were accompanying him.

[color=D3943B]“Huh?”[/color] Darius wasn't sure of what else to say as he continued walking while carrying Dante.

[color=ed1c24]“Darius, allow us to relieve you and safely take your brother to receive medical attention.”[/color] Jin spoke firmly, though it still came across as a request. Darius stopped in his tracks and stared at Jim for about a second as if weighing the option… literally.

[color=D3943B]“What's good with you, is good with me. Take him.”[/color] Darius kept still as two wolves of Gaurav took Dante off his back while the other set up a litter to place him onto. [color=D3943B]“Before you ask. He's not too banged up. I think he broke his brain… though I'm pretty sure that happened way before we got to Avalia.”[/color] Jin gave Darius an inquisitive look before nodding in the direction of the others through the dust. They all made haste, lightly jogging in the direction of the others

Things should have gotten easier. It was supposed to be that way, right?  Yet upon clearing the dust he found the two unfamiliar fairies having a bit of a stare-down with Ulyses. There was also- Darius wouldn't look toward Menzai and Phia. He couldn't.

[color=D3943B]“Hey Ulyses, Thing 1 and Thing 2! Let's get off of ten and take it down to a… a two. Okay?”[/color] Darius shouted before anything more could be said between them. Darius wasn't his usual cheery self, looking a tad bit annoyed by the whole situation unfolding. He faced the towering Ulyses as he was sure he could reason with the person he knew. [color=D3943B]“Hey listen! They helped us. [b]A lot[/b].”[/color] Darius stressed. [color=D3943B]“I don't know them but… I don't know, take my word for it. This could have been a whole lot worse and I trust them.”[/color] Darius turned around toward the two peculiar fairies. [color=D3943B]“We're not fighting, right?”[/color]
