"Do it. Preferably in front of the inn." Kargath said, while Shalor began breathing heavily, finally able to express the fear he had going into battle

"...O-oh! of course...it would be a bit...i-inconvenient if you and Erebus were moved into such a...small space." Siglos said softly."Do it. Preferably in front of the inn." Kargath said, while Shalor began breathing heavily, finally able to express the fear he had going into battle
"......" Jeanne was going to say something in rebuttal, but simply ceased, letting out a sigh. The purpose in coming here was not to find out more about her condition... but to save people. To make things safer. And with this battle, they did just that....We did something, Jeanne. W-with the destruction of these...c-circles, and the death of...those...fiends, Aegis should be safer. Was that...n-not our goal?" Siglos said softly. He shifted the runes within the circle with his palm, using the gathered mana on his skin to alter the circle's magic. He concentrated on the mana gifted to him by his Stigma, hoping he could zero in on its source.
"Velen?" he asked."...We should report this to Velen. The soldiers we faced in our first battle together were... powerful, but... these are on an entirely different level. If you hadn't weakened them, our chances of winning would've dropped heavily... and we barely won then. We need to not only become stronger ourselves, but... we need to develop countermeasures against this threat."
"I have heard of him, but never knew you guys were affiliated with that guy..." he said, "Kinda lucky I found y'all..." he muttered."The Archbishop of the Church of Light, which serves the Sun Goddess Ophelius." Jeanne explained, "I'm a knight in training there... Lord Velen sent us here on a mission to help Aegis."
He smiled at this under his helmet."I would... suppose so, Erebus." Jeanne said with a light chuckle
"We have already provided the initial blueprint for them to get a headstart at determining this place's threat, it's inhabitants, and the best possible solution. If anything, we may have done our part..." he replied."As Siglos said, reporting what happened here to the authorities here comes first. We may not have been able to explore every inch of this place, but... the royal court hopefully will."
Siglos breathed out, slowly pulling his hand away from the teleportation circle.
"...It's ready. G-gather around, everyone."
"I just hope that my fear that there are traitors in high society who work with these guys is not real" Noah said in response to Jeanne's comment."I would... suppose so, Erebus." Jeanne said with a light chuckle, "As Siglos said, reporting what happened here to the authorities here comes first. We may not have been able to explore every inch of this place, but... the royal court hopefully will."
Erebus slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the circle, but enough to fit himself in and Jeanne who he gently carried along the way.Siglos breathed out, slowly pulling his hand away from the teleportation circle.
"...It's ready. G-gather around, everyone."
(Thanks man)(U are good brotha. Take your time.)
Siglos took a shaky breath, leaning in to wrap the innkeeper into a soft hug. He…had tried to remain strong during the operation. Tried to remain focused, to not succumb to his emotions. He would be brave…he would be…"I am aware of your operation... I'm asking what happened to Siglos." Alexia grunted, rushing up to the boy and placing her hands on his shoulders. "Are you alright, my boy...?"
"It's not like I'm going out of business anytime soon." Alexia shook her head, "And you should be worried more about your own health than my financial situation."Erm... d-dont you need the income...?" Shalor asked quietly, the boy definitely was effected by what he'd seen, but he wasn't breaking over it at least.
"I'm just worried because you're so kind and-" Shalor said, before abruptly stopping himself from rambling, dragging his Gaze to the floor"It's not like I'm going out of business anytime soon." Alexia shook her head, "And you should be worried more about your own health than my financial situation."
Siglos remained like that for a long moment, cherishing the comfort of the older Everian. His tears flowed down his pale cheeks, leaving drops of moisture on her shirt. Yet…the flow of tears would eventually dry…the sniffling, young Everian, taking several, soft breaths of air.Alexia gladly accepted the hug, gently patting the boy's back. "Shhh... it's alright now. Whatever you endured is over. You should rest. You should all rest. For the night, those of you that can actually fit can stay free of charge. To regain yourselves..."
Erebus shrugged and remained outside of the inn, sitting down against the wall—not to make fall under his weight— and placed his sword above his legs as he relaxed, looking above the sky.Alexia gladly accepted the hug, gently patting the boy's back. "Shhh... it's alright now. Whatever you endured is over. You should rest. You should all rest. For the night, those of you that can actually fit can stay free of charge. To regain yourselves..."
"Good for you." Erebus sarcastically remarked in the background, looking up still."I can-? Oh, right, I guess I do fit now... huh." Sylvia tilted her head, "Well, yeah, I guess I can."
(Okay. [Placeholder post for you to respond to my post])
(Last confirmation of time was here. After this there was the execution shit, the Alexia talk, getting the communication orb, and then the battle which probably lasted longer than the group realizes... so, probably over midnight.)
A soft smile stretched across Siglos's lips, his gaze shifting to his mate.Alexia simply sighed, and nodded. "I need no thanks, or gratitude. Please, just go get some rest. And since your significant other seems to be of... reasonable size now, she can join you, Siglos."
"I can-? Oh, right, I guess I do fit now... huh." Sylvia tilted her head, "Well, yeah, I guess I can."
(What post do you want me to respond to? Lol.)(Okay. [Placeholder post for you to respond to my post])
"I'd rather join you. After a battle like that... I feel I'd like to lay with somebody I love, and not in a pile of blood and guts." Sylvia chuckled, "Not that I'm unused to blood and guts..."A soft smile stretched across Siglos's lips, his gaze shifting to his mate.
“You don't have to j-join me, my love…I don't mind.” He said softly.
(I was asking if anyone could respond to Erebus just standing outside, but given he's not really known, I guess I'll just have him stay there.)(What post do you want me to respond to? Lol.)
As Erebus moved to sit down, Jeanne hopped off his hand, limply landing onto the cobblestone beneath as blood dripped from her armor. "Thank you again for carrying me, Erebus... it is much appreciated."Erebus shrugged and remained outside of the inn, sitting down against the wall—not to make fall under his weight— and placed his sword above his legs as he relaxed, looking above the sky.
"No need to thank me, Jeanne, I'm just doing what a good friend should do..." Erebus said, shaking his head.(Actually...)
As Erebus moved to sit down, Jeanne hopped off his hand, limply landing onto the cobblestone beneath as blood dripped from her armor. "Thank you again for carrying me, Erebus... it is much appreciated."
Siglos chuckled, his smile slowly widening. He blinked away the last of the wetness from his eyes, before gingerly nodding at his mate."I'd rather join you. After a battle like that... I feel I'd like to lay with somebody I love, and not in a pile of blood and guts." Sylvia chuckled, "Not that I'm unused to blood and guts..."
(Alexa, play Despacito.)Siglos chuckled, his smile slowly widening. He blinked away the last of the wetness from his eyes, before gingerly nodding at his mate.
"...Then I would...love to be with you...m-my Emerald." He said softly. Gingerly he turned towards Alexia, giving her a final, quick hug.
"...Let us know i-if we can help with anything, Alexa. Your kindness...is truly second only to the goddess h-herself..." He said quietly.
