[quote=Vanessa][color=lightblue]"So no, I won't be reconsidering my contract with Iskah."[/color][/quote]

The Incubus Knight was taken aback by Vanessa's angered response, completely caught surprised by the Dark Mage's unexpected commitment to the sanctity of the word. He could only stand there, wide-eyed, as Vanessa unloaded unto him. When she was finished, the flustered and embarrassed Incubus Knight cleared his throat before replying. "[color=lightyellow]...I have indeed gravely insulted you with my brazen assumptions, Madam Vanessa. For that, I sincerely offer my deepest apologies.[/color]"

"[color=lightyellow]I suppose you are one of those weird Dark Mages then.[/color]" The knight chuckled softly. "[color=lightyellow]Iskah is very lucky to have someone as devoted as you... and very unlucky for me.[/color]" He then sighed in defeat, lamenting that Vanessa was not open to negotiation regarding her partnership with Iskah. "[color=lightyellow]Looks like I'm gonna have to shake you and Iskah off the hard way. May the best party win, eh?[/color]"

"[color=lightyellow]Just be warned, you and Iskah's antics might land the two of you in trouble. That and, the royal capital isn't safe all the time so you two may get hurt. Badly.[/color]" The Incubus Knight said. "[color=lightyellow]I'll do my best to protect both of you, of course, but I can't be vigilant all of the time.[/color]" Looking back to Iskah who was still playing with the children, he released another sigh. "[color=lightyellow]Well, I've taken too much of your time. Time for me to go. See you around, Dark Mage![/color]"

The Incubus Knight then hopped back and clutched an oval, dark blue pendant he wore on a necklace. Strong winds blew around him and a blue light surrounded him. The lights grew very bright before quickly fading out, but the Incubus Knight was no longer there. Iskah was finally free of the children after the latter's caretaker called them all inside. She attempted to catch Aun before he could teleport but to no avail.

Iskah could only plant her face on her reptilian palm at the development. "...I see Aun, at least, could spare some time for you. What did you two talk about?" Despite what it looked, Iskah trusted Vanessa and her question was of genuine curiosity.
