[b]"If that was concern then. . . why have the games in the first place, or let it get this far?"[/b] Ezekiel said as he turned to the blond haired man, brow furrowed in concentration as he thought about what he'd been told. [b]"I'm don't really understand army matters, but I know that if you don't want people to know about stuff, then you probably shouldn't make a showcase of it, then try to hide it at the very last second. Seems a bit dumb, and I'd like to think that the royal family isn't dumb, sir. I'm sure there's some other reason behind the cancelation."[/b]

Nodding his head with his eyes closed, Ezekiel seemed content with his conclusion, and was getting ready to walk off with the kind man who had been a real help, when said main suddenly said something rather shocking while also attacking his state of dress. 

"W-w-wait, I'm invited!" He asked as he began to panic slightly, not expecting to be thrust into such a situation so soon after joining a guild. He didn't know anything about something as high class as a ball, he barely even went to the local parties and get-togethers back home. While unable to tell exactly what his clothes looked like, Ezekiel knew that nothing he owned was proper for such a high-society event, hell, he wasn't proper for such an event. "B-b-but I just joined, and I didn't have anything to do with the the games either? What if I do something utterly embarrassing and infront of the royal family too."

As Ezekiel began to nervously pace back and forth, one would notice that as his stress levels rose, so to the number of cats that suddenly appeared upon his person. First it was just the three from earlier, then it was six, some clinging to his pants legs, others following him in his ongoing panicking with a little jog, and before long he was surrounded by over 18 felines, though he barely seemed to pay attention to it all, still worried about this whole ball scenario.

[color=Crimson][h1][center]Argus Leandros[/center][/h1][/color]

As Rose watched her daughter head off with Ryu, she'd feel a sprinkling of dust fall upon her shoulder. If, after this, she was too look up, she'd see the figure of one Argus Leandros in the process of falling directly in top of her. [i]How did this happen?[/i] you might be asking yourself. Well you see, Argus hasn't quite gotten used to controlling and focusing his magic, something he only had to do very rarely before, so as he was pole-vaulting from roof to roof, he was un aware that the ends of his staff was still leaking the destructive energies of his magic, thus weakening the stone which he was using to propel himself. Now, at first, it didn't matter much given how low the concentration was, but as he focused more and more energy into the staff, the left-over traces would begin to collect upon the edges of the weapon, resulting in stronger and stronger run-off.

As such, it eventually came to a point where, upon trying to lift himself off of one roof and onto the next, the bottom of the staff quickly weakened the stone to the point where it broke down into dust, causing him to soon plummet to the earth below, but not before rather harshly smacking his head against the roof as he went. Barely conscious at this moment, he was unable to notice who he was about to be landing on, or figuirng anyway to stop or redierct his descent. All he could do was brace himself for impact, upping his body's denseity/durability with his magic, and hope for the best.
