She didn't care as her hand was smacked away. Nor did she even bother to look at the red head, and chose to drown out her words with her own internal musings. Saina turned her head to look out the window at the sunlight filtering in. How interesting a day should go on with such unimportant botherings after the event at the stadium occurred. To others she was sure it seemed to be horrific, though, in truth, she'd seen worse. Her attention just clicked back in a few moments before the woman she had sworn to protect was thrust into her arms. The sudden weight nearly toppled the icy woman even though she didn't show it. All the while, she strained to hold her up, her eyes crinkling at the sides ever so slightly and holding her breath in an effort to bear the weight of the slightly taller, and thus heavier girl. Outwardly, it was true she didn't show much signs of strain but her body was never trained for strength. From the corner of her eye she could see Gippal and Urick start for her, no doubt understanding that someone as small and, lets face it, scrawny as herself could bear that weight for long.
Luckily, she didn't have to, as the summoner jostled in her arms and caused her to look down. She was relieved to see the summoner awake and exhaled, her breath once again visible. No doubt she was uncomfortable in her cold arms and was more than happy to assist her into standing upright. The strawberry blonde gripped her shoulder for support as she stood, and Saina fell still aside from folding her arms over her chest whilst she watched what occurred next. The thief from before making a clumsy fool of himself all over the woman she had impaled earlier and had attempted to comfort before being smacked away, Gippal and Urick leaping into action, Gippal comforting Naisha and Urick to handle the thief. All the while she pressed her fingers to her lips, which twitched consistently.
At last, after Eva had reprimanded Urick for his callousness and asked the thief who exactly he was, she could no longer hold back the inevitable.
"Pft... tch... hehe..."
Then, she could muffle it no more and began to laugh completely. As she did, she pulled her hand away from her mouth and closed her eyes.
"Ahahahahaha...!"
Her shoulders relaxed and bounced with each laugh, for once grinning. The sound was light, airy, almost bubbly. Quite the contrast to her usual dark and somewhat monotone voice. Honestly, she couldn't help herself. The thief falling over himself had been hilarious to say the least, but then the extreme reactions from both of the other guardians and how motherly Eva was, it was... well, comedy gold, even if the moment was meant to be serious. Her eyes seemed lighter from the laughter as she opened them again, still smiling but no longer grinning as she looked at Gippal and Urick--she had no reason to regard Eva in this, as she was in the right. She folded her arms again as she spoke.
"I understand this woman is dear to you both, and is weak, but she is obviously a powerful mage. I think she can handle a clumsy man tripping on her."
She closed her eyes again, and cleared her throat. The smile mostly faded into a shadow of itself as she looked at Eva.
"Pardon me, I didn't mean to interrupt, please continue questioning this man."
She nodded her head slightly to Eva to show her respect as she folded her hands behind her back, making sure to keep still so that the summoner could support herself.
