[color=ed145b]"Go and eat something, we got some time. I'll handle the rest of the preparation."[/color] Skarsneek waited for Shizuka outburst to calm down and only then did he spoke his mind. No doubt the leader must be having an headache in strategic terms. 

Turning to Kerry who was currently talking to his wife and Hinami, he interjected softly on Shizuka behalf to smooth things out. [color=ed145b]"He's just worried about the child inside of you, my dad does the same everytime mom gets pregnant. Can't help but worry."[/color]

[color=ed145b]"Sides, you did get yourself a bun in the oven after all in a situation where we need everyone operating at their best. So cut them some slack."[/color] He pointed out the obvious gently.

[color=ed145b]"But Gwendolyn huh? That's a lucky name."[/color] Or perhaps he should say unlucky? Skarsneek smiled as he recalled some fond memories of a certain idiotic knight he met a long while ago. Ah, that adventure was a wild ride.

[color=ed145b][i]I wonder if he's still honoring that bet.[/i] [/color]Skarsneek then burst into a chuckle, who was he kidding. That pompous, stick in the mud definitely was tromping around in that ridiculous get up.

But seeing their situation, an idea formed as he scratched his chin. He had a debt owed to him, wasn't it? 

[color=ed145b][i]Food for thought later.[/i] [/color]He put it aside when his ears caught and saw Atsuha catching a look, and approached the two from behind.

Putting an arm around their waist as he pulled them closer for a hug with a grin. [color=ed145b]"A bridesmaid is to usually assist and accompany the bride. Kerry in this case."[/color]

[color=ed145b]"Though in mamono tradition, there's also more involved~!" Skarsneek[/color] added with a wink to Hinami and gestured with his thumb between his index and middle finger.

When an invitation come and Kerry making her leave, the goblin waved before smirking towards Atsuha and quietly commented. [color=ed145b]"If you're jealous, we can always try and beat them in quantity."[/color]

[color=ed145b]"Hey, Hinami, want to help your sister out as well?"[/color] He teased his sister-in-law as well, even as his mind was split on the quest that Alice asked them to go on. 

The Heavenly Strike was one that seemed far more trouble than it's worth but considering nearly half of the task force is going alongside Kerry. He'll have to join in just in case, let the other do the heavy work while he sit back and close to Kerry.

After all, like he said earlier, he understood how his father felt the most since he was always by their side and what kind of goblin he would be if he disappointed his father?

After eating, cleaning and preparing himself, Gringor went back to the pagoda, ready and waiting for the fight to happen. He would've gone straight for it were it not for the fact that he need others.

Smirking darkly to himself, he swore he'll smash each and everyone of the basket 'eads into the ground. 

So it was when he came back, he saw Shizuka sitting to the sides tired and exhausted. He also heard the small growl and smell the slight acidic scent that came with hunger.

Without much thought, he pulled a jerky out and offered to Shizuka as he sat next to him.

[color=f7941d]"Food, eat. Need strength for fight."[/color] Gringor tacitly said before gesturing for Shizuka to go ahead and eat it.
