"Justifying evil actions based on the actions of others is a mortal concept, spellcaster. I personally went to slay the metal beast for it bore evil will in my domain. Had you stayed behind you would have never faced my judgement. However, you followed me and your sole action was to spit a foul curse upon it. Your attempts to justify yourself to me fall on the undeniable truth that most organic life is stupid and petty. Yet it views itself above all else. Most cruelly the planets that gave the very life's blood that flows through your veins." There were no pauses in Erde's speech, just a slow deliberate tone about it. Every word was spaced a half step away from the others to make the impact of each ring true. "If what you say is true, and that you can demonstrate something to prove yourself unworthy of my scorn. Then do so, show me your proof. Return the land to how it was before the metal beast, and then save the wounded."

Erde took his foot off of her chest, stepping back and grabbing her hand, hoisting her back up to her feet. Speaking of the curse only lead to further frustration but Erde was going to let her 'prove her worth.' Though he was dubious about this situation. Every word she spoke was about helping those who were harmed, and repairing the damage done by the massive metal monstrosity. At the back of his head though he questioned whether letting her stand up was the best choice, she had even stated that she was unable to cast the curse again. Good, that information would stick with him. Due to his suspicion of her Erde kept his focus on the ground tight, should she dare to double cross him he would crush her. The very ground would split apart, like the mouth of some great beast, and the earth below would consume her. If she dared. However if she did not, and did somehow prove herself trustworthy, he would forget the incident ever happened. And balance would return to this area.
