As Olivier saw the Lightning Wielder, he knew immediately that she'll end up on his black list. [color=ff0000]"I for one did not sign up to be a... good guy. I signed up for war. And you know what wins wars? Structure, order, and certainty. He who can make predictions and subdue the opposition will emerge victorious..."[/color] The Dark Wielder was interrupted by a sudden burst of flame centered on their captive. He, however, immediately recognized it as generated by the child, much more flashy than powerful, and barely went a step backwards. This was all that the captive needed to escape the grip of the water wielder, now finally no longer pinned, to free himself. Still cocky, unapologetic, as if nothing had happened, as if time was not wasted, as if he did not cause needless damage and nearly killed them, the fire wielder even had the nerve to propose a deal with no failure clauses. As much as Olivier appreciated the value of blending in, this was too much. Not only for his sanity, but also for his sense of safety. In addition, he made quite liberal use of his powers today, and was nearly completely drained.

[color=ff0000]"The absurdity of the situation is astonishing to me. In fact, I straight up refuse to deal with such travesty."[/color] he declared, in a mildly annoyed tone, as he circled back and started walking. [color=ff0000]"Whatever the others may decide, I refuse to deal with you on equal terms. I am leaving. Whoever wishes to come with me, except that cocky bastard, is free to do so."[/color] As he strode away, Olivier threw one last glance at Nova, then returned to his path.
