Tocsax looked shocked...especially as Seth was right; he was coddling Mai. It seemed as though his teenage hormones were still hard to regulate. Nevertheless, he would say to Mai:

"I'll be teaching you how to manipulate the winds," the young Nobody said. "Fair warning, though, this is my first time being a mentor or tutor, and according to Seth, I flubbed up already." On the subject of Baron Carlstein and such:

"I'll try to cast a magical ward on the Munny we already carry, so as to allow us to use the currency when we really need it. However, we'll have to refuse any payment from anyone, including change, and I think that we should use our own resources as much as we're able."

Then, Tocsax's mood darkened the moment Taka challenged Mai. His own Keyblade manifested unconciously, gripped with a hand that shook in anger. 

[i]"If you wanna coddle her, do it yourself and not through me..."[/i]

[i]Damn you, Seth,[/i] Tocsax thought as he dispelled his Keyblade. He then glared at the newcomer, and said:

"All right, as the leader of this group, I'll allow you your duel." His smoldering gaze outright said, though, that he was going to take Taka apart should Mai get hurt.
