"Himika no he-" She shoved past him. "Well this should be good." He spun on his heels and walked backwards taking a seat next to Laurent and behind Mez. He wrapped his handless arm around her trying to comfort her. "Kharn, I know that look. Let it go man, we have bigger problems. if what Mez says is true, we need to get going soon and..." He didn't finish before Queen Divinity spoke up and stormed out. "Well, uh, Thanks queen!" he said standing up from his chair. I'm in no condition to lead at the moment so... I'm sorry Laurent but you need to replace me for this fight." He smiled and swiped through a menu equipping an ax and handing it to the girl. "Just listen to Mez and you'll be fine." Pterro had only seen Laurent fight once, and she was good but nowhere near his own skill level, even as bad as he was. Hopefully she could do fine with Mez and Kharn controlling the battlefield. He got out of his seat and looked back up, seeing Himika shaking hands with a disarmed Heathcliff disarmed (ha). He must have missed the whole fight, but he could pretend he watched it by judging the reactions of others.
There was a new man talking to Himika, whom he approached first while sending a message to Repageroy. The message told the man to gather anyone he wanted and head to Durdansa's location and to expect a fight and possible loot. He reached the man and cleared his throat. "Listen, you want to get with her, go prove yourself big guy ok?" He said smacking the man's butt. He pointed his stump to Mez and said "That guy is gonna be the judge, follow him." He continued to Himika, on his way barking an order to Mez. "I hope you'll be joining Divinity, otherwise I might just fire you, Mez." His voice got quieter. "Himika, that was fuckin' sweet, I want ot go high-five Heathcliff though, he seems like someone that would HATE that you know?" He chuckled. "You better hurry up, Mez is probably going to rush out any second, don't want to miss the chance at a boss drop right?" He did his best to raise an eyebrow but failed missreably and went with a wink instead.
Laurent sat in shock as her leader walked over so calmly and wrapped his handless arm around her expecting it to comfort her. "I.. who, what." All of her answers were being swiftly provided by Himika challenging Heathcliff, and the ensuing hatred she had seemed to flow from her into the blacksmith as well. She was focused on the fight trying to ignore Pterrophos next to her until he handed her ax to her and told her to fight. Something she hadn't down in god knows how long. "But Pterro, I.. I want to stay with you I can't just go out and fight!" She stood up in protest but he just waved her off. "Divinity tell him I-" She turned to see the queen running out the door ready to kill the field boss. She ran to Mez. "Sir, uh, what are m orders?"
She swiped through her inventory and found her old, but still effective armor and equipped it. The plate male made her body a lot less feminine looking but it did it's job. She did a practice swing with her ax and tested a few pre-positions for her sword skills she hadn't used in so long, cancelling them all before unleashing an attack on her new leader for the time being, Mez. She was slow and timid about all of her test swings, she hadn't held that ax in a long time, almost since well Pterrophos brought her into the guild. She was worried about him more than focused on the fight but the march or charge over would hopefully clear her head. Maybe she could take out her anger at him picking fights he couldn't win on this boss, whatever it was.
