[b][color=D3943B]Time:[/color][/b] Morning
[b][color=E0C114]Location:[/color][/b] Gaurav Village
[b][color=D3943B]Interactions:[/color][/b] Phia, Cyrus, Menzai
[b][color=E0C114]Equipment:[/color][/b] 2 shot glasses, 1036 Amas total, Flowers from Phia, Dante’s cellphone, Dante’s knife, Cobalt splint-armor, Cobalt Half-plate-armor (Weightless)[hr]

Dante had narrowed his eyes at Darius but refrained from escalating anything, identifying his brother was just lashing out. Dante knew he had the luxury of not remembering when the group was nearly at the mercy of the roc’s wrath. Sure, he had his own troubles thinking how he lost control of himself but Darius had been there to see it all. A human who had known nothing of real monsters and magic until his short time here in Avalia.  

On the other hand, Darius was already beginning to feel a tinge of guilt as he had allowed his words to carry the feelings he had kept tucked away for days. It was so sudden and unexpected for even himself but it was the price of bottling strong emotions. He averted his gaze from Dante, feeling as if he had struck his brother with more than just words. Darius nearly slinked away into himself but Phia’s delicate touch kept him. 

Looking up into her soft amber eyes, it was difficult to keep up a rigid disposition. He might later ponder upon how Menzai accomplishes such a thing but now it was just Darius facing Phia and all the kindness she felt he needed. How could he not agree with her words? 

[color=D3943B]“Yeah…”[/color] He gave her a small grin. [color=D3943B]“That’s exactly what we should aim for.”[/color] He clasped his other her and against hers and mocked her tap. [color=D3943B]“No heavy hearts.”[/color] He declared to her.

[color=E0C114]“I get being cautious but we should put our best foot forward with some optimism. We need to plan our approach to this flyer thing. Like… using a third party to vet people. And who’s better at [i]vetting[/i] than animals?”[/color] Dante smirked.

[color=D3943B]“Realy?”[/color] Darius was deeply wounded by the use of that pun.
