However, instead it came down like rain. He lowered his shield and found Amelia and a water spirit of some kind between himself and Manami, questioning her attack on the group. James stepped forwards, next to Amelia, and placed his shield on his back, resting a hand on her shoulder. [color=SteelBlue]"She's not in a mind state to answer, Miss Amelia. Some of the things I've said seem to have some rather...adverse consequences. I am attempting to free her of the lies she was told by a rather evil man, for all the good it's done. I'll do what I can to help however."[/color] He removed his hand and removed his shield from his back, taking his ready stance. [color=SteelBlue]"Answer her, Manami. There's no harm in it, but harm her, and I will return it to you."[/color]
