Jerod sighed, he hated yelling, it wasn't worth the effort nine times out of ten. He reckoned this was that tenth time. He said something funny? Well, yes, fine, that would do. As long as she wasn't literally going to string him up by his intestines, he could leave sleeping lions be. Or, insane mad lass. And to think they had been getting on so well, he thought. She probably would still be creepy enough, but he knew at least one boundary at least. Her apology to the Grandmaster, which he just noticed, Exalt, which he ALSO just noticed, and champion o naga, which he did not just notice, brought a smirk to his face regardless. If for no other reason then to hide his reaction to the sudden change in the mad lassies reactions.

"Ach, sorry fer that lad, never been good with all this fancy royalty nonsense. Told ye before, and I'll tell ye again. Ye got me blade and aid in this mess before, and ye'll have it until its all said and done, yea? Now, if ye don't mind me askin, where does this lot keep their drinks? I think I'll be needin a few for the evenin..." Jerod certainly didn't elaborate why, and the woman coming in yelling only made him more unhappy with the situation. And the dark mage was threatening the newcomer. Oh, great, Jerod thought with a sarcastic bent, what a surprise. And, gods help him, he was opening his mouth to say something and couldn't stop himself. "Ey, dark spell spitter lass, me thinks the two can sort out their differences, yea? Hows about we go clean up those bodies, ye yourself said somethin' about em earlier. I owe ye for embarresin ye in front of these noble types."

Jerod considered it an olive branch for his prior statement, at least from what she had said about her hobbies before already to the champion. That, and if it got him, number one, and her, probably should be the first one to get out of collateral damage range, out of this damned fancy nobles court, all the better. He would regret it later, but if he could at least smooth things out between him and the crazy dark mage lass, that would hopefully keep her from plucking his eyeballs out at night. For awhile, at least. At worst, as soon as they were out of sight, he was going to get strung up by his innards. Great options there, Jerod mentally berated himself for it while not betraying his facial expressions right now.
