[center]Joshua and Amelia[/center]

Joshua listened to Lazarus and nodded
"[color=ed1c24]I'll fight this Pen then[/color]." He said, placing his sheathed sword across his shoulders." [color=ed1c24]I'm the best suited to fight him, if it actually even comes to that. It sounds like he'll be a challenge and magic is only one trick in my bag. I'm a swordsman, so he can't use those lacrima against me if I don't use magic right?

Not only that, if he's any sort of ruthless, he might go after Amelia, since she's the weakest one here, far as Pen might be concerned. The child aint a fighter, unlike the rest of us, so we should keep her out of danger as best we can.[/color]"

"[color=fff200]I'll be fine. They'll protect me[/color]." Amelia said quietly

"You're spirits?"

The young girl just nodded, causing Joshua to shrug.
"[color=ed1c24]You're choice. None of us can really stop you. So, shall we get going[/color]?"
