Alex gave a deadpanned expression as she watched Braska show off and if her hands were free, she would of face palmed. So instead she simply smirked a bit. [color=red]"Yeah you were pretty good... When I didn't tackle you and knock your ass outta the sphere."[/color] the red head smirked teasingly. Braska was always a meathead, just like his father, but she couldn't help but feel a bit close and responsible over him. His parents did do a lot for her. When they reached the temple steps, Alex smirked a bit excitedly. These steps were quite famous for races and momentarily, she forgot any aches and pains she had as she started racing up the stairs at a fast pace, using her long strong muscular toned legs to carry her. She released the two men she'd be assisting walking/dragging to effectively boot up the steps. If they needed help, she'd run back down and help them. [color=red]"Wooooo race ya to the top! Last one there pays dinner!"[/color] Alex shouted as she bounded up the steps. Reaching the top, she stretched and smirked, giving a laugh before looking down toward the party. Despite the attacks, the lack of sleep, her friends slowly leaving, and having weird body attacks, the adventure was still exciting for the tall woman. It felt like she was so alive! It was awesome! When the others caught up, as a seemed to recognize the place and started hyperventilating and basically having a panic attack. Blinking her blue eyes in minor confusion, they narrowed as the summoner huddled up against Gippal. For the love of the ancestors these suitors were impossible. Still, this time, Alex felt like she couldn't interfere as Eva was sobbing which made Alex twitch, not knowing what to do and felt hesitation. The Ice Witch spoke up to the summoner and the red head scratched the back of her head, trying to think of a way to make the girl stop crying. She despised crying. It didn't make her mad, it just made her panic and desperate. And panicking was a awful feeling. Moving closer, she lightly patted the summoner on the head. [color=red]"Hey come on. I know temples can be a biiiiiit... Off. Trust me I'm like, number one on the sin list. Of top twenty at least. I walk in there, I swear I will get hit in the shin with a steel staff. So no worries, priests will be too mad at me to give you any grief. But ha know, there's a big fire beast in there who I'm sure is bored out of his mind and would love to meet a pretty maiden after like twenty years or so. I mean, have you seen it down there? Super boring. Just a bunch of monster buddies to keep him company. He's probably itching to get into action again. Though, I'm sure he won't mind if you take a few to take a nap, have a nice tall glass of iced Coconut Pinapple Mari, and catch a few Z's. Maybe go shopping, ya know this place actually has a pretty good shopping center now. Or or, you can pretend I am the embodiment of whatever is bothering you and slap the shit outta me."[/color] Alex laughed in a sort of rapid joking tone as her mind tried her best to think on what to do. This was her way of attempting to cheer someone up, buuuu it wasn't always effective. Having wrapped a arm around both Gippal and Eva, bringing them both in one of her one armed bear hugs but not splitting them apart. While her other hand moved about, gesturing to places she mentioned and even smacking herself in the face, right across her right cheek after she pulled away from the two. Obviously not holding back as there was now a nice sweltering red handprint mark on her cheek. Taking a few moments, she took a deep breath before clapping her hands together in front of her chest before holding her right hand up with her index finger pointed. [color=red]"I'm going to get some rooms at the Kalu Malu inn."[/color] she stated before quickly storming away, mumbling about how big of a dunce she was.
