Well, that cemented it; things were not going to go well on this mission. Voss had hoped it would be different with an S-Class wizard on their side, but it seemed that no matter what, whenever a mission with a group larger than himself happens, some circumstance appears that tilts everything on its side, as it all spirals out of control, but who knows?

Maybe, just [i]maybe[/i], he could relax a bit. They weren't going straight to the mansion after all, he could have a nice evening before everything went downhill.

And of course, situations always had to arise that destroyed any of his plans which involved him having a relaxing evening, didn't they? As he saw both Val and Aiko chase after Sora while Grae did his usual of being unhelpful, or being a [i]bum[/i], as he calls himself, Voss simply walked forward in the direction Sora was sailing in. With two capable wizards after her, she was sure to be saved; any input on his part would just be unnecessary.

However, he'd rather go with them than follow Grae, being one of his main tormenters and cause of many an annoyance himself. Grae could handle himself anyway; if he couldn't, then Voss was sure he would be dead in a ditch somewhere, as his antics would have caught up to him. The group that went after Sora was looking to be quite far ahead however, so he thought that he should pick up the pace.

Voss heard a sinister voice in his head and an imagery of a snake consuming his naked body. "Let me out, brat!"

In the end, as he predicted, everything was fine.

Sora was safely secured while needing no effort from his part, and he caught up quite easily due to her motion sickness impacting her movement. Still, this experience made him feel a tad bit of pity for her as with every time her motion sickness took effect, she would never be able to experience luxury cruises or the like without it getting in the way. With a sigh, Voss went to pat her back as if to soothe her motion sickness, [color=white]"There there, you'll feel better in a minute or so."[/color]

With nothing else to do, Voss idly looked up into the open sky, the stars shining as bright as ever. Call it blasphemy due to him being a celestial wizard, but beyond the practical aspects, Voss never saw any real connection or relationship with consolations. While he could appreciate their beauty, that was it. Of course, as he learned to read consolations, he found himself looking at them more often. Even if, like now, they didn't paint the best picture of what was to come.

Not helped by the fact that [i]she[/i] was still doing her usual of giving a very good reason as to why not to let her out ever. At times Voss felt like putting her key in the pocket closest to his heart might have been a mistake, almost like she would somehow be able to stab into it at any time. But he would rather not subject his keys to the bad luck she's rumored to bring by putting her on his chain with the rest of them, or put her anywhere less secure to where the key might get stolen somehow.

So lost in thought Voss was that he almost didn't notice the feeling of deja vu that came over him, but it did well to knock him out of thinking anymore of Ophiuchus.
