[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos said nothing for a moment, almost caught off guard by Erebus's words. Slowly, he flashed him a small smile.

"...T-thank you, Erebus. I...I...d-do f-feel s-safer...k-knowing y-you and S-Sylvia w-will...p-protect me..." Siglos murmured. It wasn't every day someone could count on two massive Rakshashin warriors.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia breathed out, looking down at Siglos. "I can stay if you want me to, Siglos... If that'd make you feel marginally safer."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia breathed out, looking down at Siglos. "I can stay if you want me to, Siglos... If that'd make you feel marginally safer."

Siglos hesitated, before quickly shaking his head.

"...N-no...no. W-we...w-we s-should...j-just g-go to the inn...f-for now..." Siglos murmured.

"...I...will not k-keep y-you from your f-friend...m-my love..." He said softly.

 

[azontr]

"...." Sylvia breathed out, before nodding. "Alright... Do you want me to carry you, or are you fine walking...?"

 

[KingEzran]

"It won't be, my friend. The enemy can't move since we're here. If he does anything unexpected, we'd catch up soon enough. Don't you feel safe around her? Around us?" he said, looking at Siglos before moving his head to point Sylvia.

"I can't exactly blame him. We didn't catch up...we still haven't caught up. We had ourselves and every member of the king's court as a functioning search party...if we are to assume...the court mage...wasn't the culprit, then we have no leads and an entire city's population to look through before even getting close to our answers..."

 

[Backbackback]

"I can't exactly blame him. We didn't catch up...we still haven't caught up. We had ourselves and every member of the king's court as a functioning search party...if we are to assume...the court mage...wasn't the culprit, then we have no leads and an entire city's population to look through before even getting close to our answers..."

"I know that. It's simply a form of reassurance. We will soon catch up, I just know it...."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"...." Sylvia breathed out, before nodding. "Alright... Do you want me to carry you, or are you fine walking...?"

Siglos gingerly shook his head, flashing her a shaky smile.

"...T-thank you, b-but, I think I-I can walk." Siglos said softly.

"I know that. It's simply a form of reassurance. We will soon catch up, I just know it...."

"...I-I...appreciate t-the...reassurance...t-truly..." Siglos said softly.

"...I-I...I'm s-sure the a-authorities w-will find them, e-eventually."

 

[azontr]

Jeanne simply breathed out, saying nothing as she moved to walk ahead of the group. She looked down, before shaking her head. "I am... calm. And collected. And mature. I am... completely fine." She thought to herself.

Siglos gingerly shook his head, flashing her a shaky smile.

"...T-thank you, b-but, I think I-I can walk." Siglos said softly.

"Alright..." Sylvia murmured as she began walking next to Siglos, her hand lowered down so that Siglos could grasp it as they walked.

 

[Backbackback]

Erebus walked along, saying nothing.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Alright..." Sylvia murmured as she began walking next to Siglos, her hand lowered down so that Siglos could grasp it as they walked.

Siglos gingerly raised his hand, his lithe fingers wrapping around Sylvia's as they walked together. He leaned in closer, gingerly pressing his cheek against her scarred flesh as they walked.

"D-did...a-anything else h-happen w-while...me and Sylvia w-were gone?" Siglos asked quietly, glancing at the rest of the group members.

"D-did...a-anything else h-happen w-while...me and Sylvia w-were gone?" Siglos asked quietly, glancing at the rest of the group members.

"Went to the bakery, got bad impressions, and now we're finding a place to stay." Erebus said, summarizing the key points of the situation.

 

[azontr]

"Our evening was not very... good, yes. What were you two doing so far outside of the city?" Jeanne asked, tilting her head.

"....." Sylvia said nothing, just blushing.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Went to the bakery, got bad impressions, and now we're finding a place to stay." Erebus said, summarizing the key points of the situation.

"O-oh! I-I see..." Siglos said, nodding at Erebus.

"Our evening was not very... good, yes. What were you two doing so far outside of the city?" Jeanne asked, tilting her head.

"....." Sylvia said nothing, just blushing.

Siglos blushed as well, his cheeks going a soft crimson.

“…S-Sylvia…erm…t-took…me…h-hunting! I-in a…n-nearby f-forest..” Siglos said quietly.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia nodded quickly. "H-Hunting! We were hunting. Animals! F-F-For lunch!"

Jeanne narrowed her eyes, "Very... nice? Did you catch anything tasty?" She then asked.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia nodded quickly. "H-Hunting! We were hunting. Animals! F-F-For lunch!"

Jeanne narrowed her eyes, "Very... nice? Did you catch anything tasty?" She then asked.

Siglos shifted uncomfortably, his ears twitching.

"...T-the...b-beast w-we found w-was...t-too strong. W-we...c-couldn't...h-harvest anything..." Siglos said awkwardly. He shivered slightly, remembering the fearsome roar of the bear as it charged.

 

[azontr]

"Oh. That's a shame, then." Jeanne said, shrugging. She was... around 97% sure of what had actually happened, but, she didn't feel a need to bring it up.

"Y-yeah... a shame..." Sylvia muttered, her tail gently wagging.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"....Y-yeah...a...erm...r-real shame..." Siglos murmured awkwardly.

"W-well...w-we can a-all g-get a meal a-at the inn...i-if...you'd like..." Siglos said softly, glancing at Jeanne.

 

[azontr]

"...I doubt after that little stunt you pulled, that that poor lady has any intentions to serve you anything..." Jeanne muttered.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos said nothing for a moment, his eyes lowering to the ground.

“O-oh…” Siglos murmured, his ears twitching. He had just wanted to give his mate a special meal, but…it seemed like it just made everything worse.

“T-that’s…t-that’s a-alright…I-I’m…n-not t-that hungry, a-anyway…”

 

[azontr]

Jeanne glanced at Siglos, just breathing out. "You and Sylvia should go apologize... Service industry workers have it hard, especially when you're working alone... Maybe she'll forgive you..."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

“I…I a-already g-gave h-her an…apology, Jeanne. And…o-offered to p-pay the…c-cleaning bill…” He murmured. He gingerly rubbed his neck, his hand brushing against his ashen hair.

“…I-it’s…I-it’s a-alright though. A-as…a-as long a-as I c-can still r-rent room…I-I’ll be f-fine…”

 

[azontr]

"We can just sleep outside, honey... We don't need a room." Sylvia said, glaring down at Jeanne, who in turn glared up at her.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"We can just sleep outside, honey... We don't need a room." Sylvia said, glaring down at Jeanne, who in turn glared up at her.

Siglos glanced at Jeanne and Sylvia again, becoming increasingly uncomfortable with their seeming hostility towards each other.

“T-that sounds…n-nice honey…” Siglos murmured. He hesitated for a moment, trying to choose his words carefully.

“B-but…m-maybe…I-it w-would b-be…erm…n-nice. I-if…y-you apologized to A-Alexia, a-as well…” he murmured.

“B-but…m-maybe…I-it w-would b-be…erm…n-nice. I-if…y-you apologized to A-Alexia, a-as well…” he murmured.

Sylvia glanced away from Jeanne, her eyes glaring down at him. "Apologize for what? Eating?"

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia glanced away from Jeanne, her eyes glaring down at him. "Apologize for what? Eating?"

Siglos flinched visibly, immediately adverting his gaze as Sylvia’s spiral glare fell upon his body.

“N-nothing! I-it’s…i-it’s nothing…” Siglos said quickly.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia continued to glare down at Siglos, before turning away, gently growling. "Yeah, that's what I thought it was..."

 

[DaReaperMan]

Shalor sighed, not really understanding that but noticing Jeanne's anger "Jeanne... want to go out and train somewhere...?" He suggested, trying to find a way to calm jeanne

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia continued to glare down at Siglos, before turning away, gently growling. "Yeah, that's what I thought it was..."

Siglos took a soft, shaky breath, his ears twitching anxiously.

“S-sorry…m-my l-love…” He murmured. He looked toward the ground, gingerly slipping his hand away from Sylvia’s as they walked.

 

[azontr]

Shalor sighed, not really understanding that but noticing Jeanne's anger "Jeanne... want to go out and train somewhere...?" He suggested, trying to find a way to calm jeanne

"...What an odd request. Didn't take you for much of a fighter, Shalor." Jeanne said, glancing over at him as the inn came into sight.

Siglos took a soft, shaky breath, his ears twitching anxiously.

“S-sorry…m-my l-love…” He murmured. He looked toward the ground, gingerly slipping his hand away from Sylvia’s as they walked.

Sylvia just breathed out, closing her eyes.

"No... No... it's fine. I'm sorry..." Sylvia muttered, before realizing the inn was coming into view. "Can you... go get Cain for me...? Please...?"

 

[Backbackback]

Erebus simply remained silent, though the thought of training does make him somewhat intrigued.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"...What an odd request. Didn't take you for much of a fighter, Shalor." Jeanne said, glancing over at him as the inn came into sight.

"Well I need to do it at some point, all I have right now is treachery with my chains." Shalor responded

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"Well I need to do it at some point, all I have right now is treachery with my chains." Shalor responded

"That's cool, I can probably help you too, if you two let me" Noah said with somewhat renewed spirits.

 

[azontr]

"I... usually try to train alone..." Jeanne muttered, fumbling a bit.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia just breathed out, closing her eyes.

"No... No... it's fine. I'm sorry..." Sylvia muttered, before realizing the inn was coming into view. "Can you... go get Cain for me...? Please...?"

Hesitantly, Siglos looked up at Sylvia, before slowly nodding.

“Y-yeah, I c-can a-ask her t-to come outside…” He said softly.

“I…I a-assume y-you’ll…w-want to b-be…alone, w-when y-you speak with h-her, right…? I…I d-don’t want t-to intrude…”

“I…I a-assume y-you’ll…w-want to b-be…alone, w-when y-you speak with h-her, right…? I…I d-don’t want t-to intrude…”

"I... think that'd be best, yes." Sylvia said, "Though, I won't stop you from staying if you want..."

 

[DaReaperMan]

"I... usually try to train alone..." Jeanne muttered, fumbling a bit.

"Don't worry, there should be potions for any possible injuries!" Shalor responded, putting a hand on Jeanne's non-monstrous shoulder

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"Don't worry, there should be potions for any possible injuries!" Shalor responded, putting a hand on Jeanne's non-monstrous shoulder

"You are right, also shouldn't we form team combat strategy too?" Noah said.

 

[azontr]

"I just... I'm used to training alone, so-" Jeanne said, stumbling on her words once more.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"I just... I'm used to training alone, so-" Jeanne said, stumbling on her words once more.

"It's fine, think of me as an unofficial apprentice if that makes you more comfortable with this!" Shalor said, nodding in response to Noah

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"I... think that'd be best, yes." Sylvia said, "Though, I won't stop you from staying if you want..."

Siglos shook his head, gingerly rubbing a hand over his neck.

“Y-you two, d-deserve some…a-alone time. I-I’ll b-be fine…” He said softly.

“M-maybe J-Jeanne w-will l-let me…watch her t-training, I-in the meantime…” He said softly, glancing at the girl.
