Nothing was more satisfying than seeing villains run with their tails between their legs for him and the only way it could've been better was if they had parted with promises of vengeance. But the sheer look of frustration on their faces was an acceptable substitute. [color=dodgerblue]"What an awe-inspiring display of boldness, friend!"[/color] he called down to Asher, standing beside Cerberus, who did not seem to be a very joyous sort. She was still alive, however, and that was enough for him, so he was fine with that. [color=dodgerblue]"Perhaps next time she will aspire to be more than a means of breaking our falls?"[/color] he chuckled. Noble Spark watched Asher as the Esper made his way toward the entrance to regroup with them, but he turned to pay attention to the dialogue between Marie and Cerberus. Even he had difficulty keeping his jovial demeanor when faced with the Freelancer's obvious denial. But he could not fault the girl for hoping for such an outcome. Death was something hard to accept for the average person, and not everyone had been exposed to this world via life-or-death situations like he had. [color=dodgerblue]"That is..."[/color] he opened his mouth to speak, yet Cerberus was much less hesitant with the situation, hopping down and beating him to the punch. He raised an eyebrow at the almost nonchalant way she picked the head of the deceased Esper up, but found himself backing her statement up once he got down to the ground level. [color=dodgerblue]"Death is just as absolute for an Esper as it is for a human, regrettable as it may seem sometimes. But nobody should ever consider taking lives if they are not willing to have their life taken in turn. An Esper who cannot come to terms with this is better off forgetting they are an Esper at all."[/color] He offered his piece on the situation and upsetting demise that had taken place and then nodded as Cerberus brought up that they weren't technically done with the contract yet and that Oros was supposedly not likely to be the culprit behind this attack. Truth be told, he wasn't exactly in the state to be getting into another intense encounter, but Noble Spark was not going to abandon his duty. He kept a watchful eye out for any further ambushes, as unlikely as that seemed, while joining Mika near the podium. [color=dodgerblue]"I almost hesitate to read any scripture in this tainted church,"[/color] he commented, his attention directed towards the podium.
