No. Inspirational? No that wasn't it. Vesta couldn't think of a word to describe it, but it didn't sound like he was annoyed one bit whatsoever by her [s]insults[/s] words. How strange. It almost sounded as if they were discussing the weather or perhaps a meal of some kind. How peculiar indeed. He almost sounded like a noble. Almost. Though it was obvious from his lack of attire that he was clearly no one of a high rank, but then again not many commoners had the looks nor body he had. Vesta felt conflicted about this. Was he a noble who deserved some tiny sliver of respect? Or was he simply a weirdo commoner? She decided on the latter as he hadn't introduced himself as a noble. [color=a0410d]"Heinrich Ford? That shouldn't be too much of a hassle."[/color] Vesta responded briefly as she blew a stray piece of hair from her face. While her hair wasn't long, it was longer than it usually was. She might need a trim when she got home. [color=a0410d]"Well then Mr Ford I'll allow you to lead."[/color] Vesta nodded slightly before following after Heinrich. She froze slightly as he bought up the one subject she didn't wish to speak about once more; appearing suddenly in the middle of the street. How would she answer this rather logical inquiry? She didn't have an answer to give him. Bluff her way through? In fact how or why did no one else notice or question it? Actually why were there so many people out at night in that one place anyway? So many questions....they were hurting Vesta's already pounding head. [color=a0410d]"I-I...Was...testing a...metia?"[/color] Vesta spoke slowly as she racked her brain for excuses for her own lack of knowledge on the subject. Surely that sounded reasonable enough? Well it might've if not for HOW she said it. Which was mighty suspect. Clearing her throat now she just hoped he didn't question it further. [color=a0410d]"It matters no regardless. Instead what matters is that I find my attendant and-"[/color] Vesta started in an attempt to change the subject however stopped midway, both in her sentence and her step. Blinking a couple of times she couldn't help looked off into the distance. This sensation at her feet.... [color=a0410d]"One moment."[/color] She told Heinrich dismissively before walking in a completely different direction. Heinrich would probably follow suit, or he could stay behind. Vesta didn't seem too concerned as she could find him later anyway. So long as he stayed on dry land that is. After a couple of streets Vesta stopped and facepalmed hard at the sight before her. It was Zin with her great sword drawn against an obviously harmless, unarmed lost and scared looking girl. Not that looks were much to base people off of, but Vesta also felt no malice from the girl. Simply fear and confusion. [color=a0410d]"Ms Parallex may I ask exactly what you think you're doing? Someone in the service of the Celestia's shouldn't be going around oppressing the weak. You'll give us a bad name."[/color] Vesta walked confidently down towards Zin completely unphased by the drawn sword. She doubted Zin would use it against her after swearing allegiance after all, and even if she did Vesta was confident in her own abilities to block it. [color=a0410d]"You've spooked the poor girl.[/color] [b][center][h1][color=ed1c24]Avery Ackbar Celestia[/color][/h1][/center][/b] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/n4mq0vg.png[/img] [@demonspade64][@Kitsune][@Soragoku][@ZekariVoblis][@Sir Lurksalot][@Liferusher][/center] ...Huh? Avery stood in the doorway in quite a similarly shocked fashion. Was this the right room? There was no sign of Aya anywhere in the room, nor any signs that anyone had been in the room recently. This was despite the door clearly being open. Well now it was more open but that was beside the point. [color=ed1c24]"My way was quicker. Hmph."[/color] Avery huffed in a mockingly adorable angry fashion, puffing out his cheeks slightly to top off the effect. He wasn't doing this on purpose either, he was just so used to acting melodramatic and adorable as possible he did it on instinct now. [color=ed1c24]"I...I'll pay Kondo back. As Lady Vesta says 'A Celestia must always pay their debts'."[/color] Avery nodded a few times to reassure himself more than anyone else. He hadn't the money on him of course, but in his clothes he did. Speaking of which now that the others wanted to go outside and look for Aya, Avery would probably have to get changed. Being cute and all was fine and dandy; but wearing a dress with a short skirt at night when it was cold was ALWAYS a bad idea. Avery preferred to be warm and was willing to sacrifice being adorable to do so. So while the others headed outside Avery headed to the back room where his clothes were. However he first noticed Dante not too far behind them and paused. [color=ed1c24]"Ah Mr Dante~ Good timing. Aya, the little girl from before, is missing. Can you go out there and search with them? I'll be right back~"[/color] Avery said quickly before taking back his staff and running off without giving Dante a chance to argue. The sooner he got changed the sooner he could go out and help. Once in the back room he got changed back into his previous attire. He folded the clothes Yoshino had 'forced' upon him into a neat pile with a bag of coins along with a note apologizing for the door. Tying his hair back into the ponytail as he quickly entered the tavern's main hall and quickly made his way outside to where he soon found the others in a group talking to a man unknown to Avery. Wait...those clothes. They looked familiar, but where had Avery seen them? But since that wasn't a priority for Avery right now he pushed the thought to the back of his mind. He could work it out later. This new man seemed irritated by something however. Was it something Ease had said? [color=ed1c24]"Hmm...No one happens to have anything of hers on them do they? If so I can find her...Maybe.[/color]
