Let me help you."[/color][/b][/center] [hr] [center][@ADamnFiddle][@Lucius Cypher][@liferusher][/center] [hr] [b][color=gold]“I’m alright. but I don’t give a damn about myself. If my men are hurt I want you to attend to them first."[/color][/b] she told him. He could respect the selflessness of such a request. Aleph listened to her introduce herself after. [b][color=gold]"I am Maria von Hohenzollern of the Iron Bell Knights. Bless your heart. I must once again rely on the kindness of strangers.”[/color][/b] While he was a bit disappointed she didn't seem intent on letting him assist her, he did have to admire the noble heart she owned. To put her own subordinates above herself in priority was something he had not seen many people do. Not all people were so kind. Despite this, Aleph figured he may as well bless this kind knight with his name. [b][color=1a7b30]"I am Aleph Banton, the Hero."[/color][/b] he said. [b][color=1a7b30]"Although it won't be too much, I will absolutely do what I can for your people."[/color][/b] he assured, his words seemed very genuine, like he was promising this woman he would do whatever was within his power -- perhaps even more! ...But there simply wasn't too much for him to do. Aside from the man who took the brunt of the explosion, most others had gotten off with mere scratches. For example, the elf who had jumped off the building alongside Maria and the other knight was untouched. Aleph hadn't seen exactly what she did to get from the roof to the street without injury, but he figured she must have used a spell to break her fall. But all that was unimportant to Aleph, who simply needed to be useful right now. Besides, she had just ran off. That left but one possible person. It seemed if there was anybody he could help, it would be the final grounded knight. Aleph hadn't seen her face just yet, since he had immediately gone for Maria as she seemed the most likely to be injured, so he could only gather that she may have been burned in the blast. He hoped that was the case, because otherwise that could mean she had a horrible sense for fashion. Who does the burned-hair look nowadays anyway? [b][color=1a7b30]"Hello!"[/color][/b] he called out, approaching Tani. [b][color=1a7b30]"I know only a very basic healing spell, but it should be enough to heal minor burns no problem."[/color][/b] at this point, the knight was holding the sword to the sky. It did seem a bit strange, but because he couldn't see her face from behind, he wasn't put off to the point where he was cautious. Perhaps it was some new knight procedure? It didn't matter to him. [b][color=1a7b30]"Hey."[/color][/b] Aleph placed a hand on her shoulder (having made sure she wasn't hurt there). [b][color=1a7b30]"Are you hurt at all?"[/color][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M]How oblivious[/url]. [center][color=92278f][h2]Heinrich Ford[/h2][/color] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/COFSGXRVAAAZyC1.jpg[/img] [b][color=92278f]"You probably don't want to stand there. Just saying."[/color][/b][/center] [hr] [center][@lunarlors34][@liferusher][@Spriggs27][@demonspade64][/center] [hr] Now that he had thought about it, did the terrified woman not just shout out a particularly interesting word to the dragon cosplayer, this "Parallex" woman as Celestia had referred to her as? He had not heard that word since the day he departed Earth for this... hellhole of magic and clingy people! Heinrich was a bit worried she was a bit on the duller side when it came to matters of the mind considering she immediately tried to encourage the person who was just trying to cut her down to resume the action once more. Well, it was very possible she was panicked and just incapable of rational thought at the moment, though one would expect her to be a lot more submissive even then. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLONOCt_8t4]Heinrich just wanted to live a quiet life[/url], but [s]there wasn't any good quality links[/s] that was quite certainly asking for too much in this world. He was sure of this from the very moment that this man started trying to instigate things between him and three other people! Well, it was not as though Heinrich could fight or really help at all, but he certainly LOOKED like he could, if anything. So why would this man jump down and try to make enemies of potentially three people? Maybe this man was part of his divine curse? He wasn't sure of the specifics of his own blessing, but could it be that living a peaceful life wasn't "aesthetically pleasing" or whatever!? Did fate want him to go mad? At this point, he would not deny the possibility. [b][color=a0410d]"Mr Ford I believe you should attend to the girl there. Make sure she is calmed down and ok. Ms Parallex stand back. Once we find Avery I'll see to it they attend to your wounds."[/color][/b] Vesta ordered. Despite looking as though she wanted to roast the guy who just appeared, she at least kept a level mind, or so Heinrich thought. Heinrich did not have any problems following her suggestion, as he was thinking moments ago that this lady was probably not in a mentally-well state currently. He wasn't sure what he could do besides ask basic questions, but whatever, as long as he was doing something that would even barely distract him from this fiesta occurring right in front of him. Heinrich strode towards the woman a few steps before she took shelter behind the guy who was clearly having a hard time justifying his sudden intrusion and accusations. This could be troublesome. He was moderate sure this man would soon be the target of some form of magic, likely rocks and the kind judging by Vesta's hisses towards him. Heinrich did not particularly wish to be a casualty of the fight. So, Heinrich approached the two as much as he could, as far to the side as he could and still reasonably speak to this woman. Luckily, she seemed to be keeping an eye on him already, so this would make things easier. [b][color=92278f]"Miss, I would suggest you take a few steps backwards."[/color][/b] he warned. [b][color=92278f]"I was made to question your mental stability when you decided to call someone on the verge of killing you an idiot, but even then, surely you can understand that the man right next to you may as well be called "ground zero". If you have sustained any injuries from being attacked, we can get you somewhere safe to get them treated, but you do have to be alive for this to be possible."[/color][/b] Oh, well now that he thought about it... she probably wouldn't know what ground zero even meant. Well, one could likely infer from contextual clues what it likely meant. Hopefully.
