He may have been a bit overprotective of her. He concerned himself with her entire wellbeing, but he at least tried not to be too overbearing of a big brother. [color=555588]"You're welcome. And don't worry. You're going to have a wonderful time. I wonder how we're going to get there."[/color] [hr] Jericho no longer wished he was on this trip. He couldn't believe he was experiencing motion sickness. He couldn't remember the last time he had. If he didn't know better he'd swear Gwen had something to do with this. He did know better, but he tended to have a blindspot when it came to her. All of his attention was usually kept on keeping her clothed, not her nefarious schemes. He wasn't a cop, he just didn't want people seeing his----nevermind. Anyway. There was one benefit. He was currently laying on a mother's lap being healed. He was being comforted in two ways. Meanwhile Nirvana was playing with her kids. [color=lightgreen]"They remind me of you when you were their age, Jeri. Sometimes I wish your mom and dad had another kid. Then I remember how big of a handful you were and are and come back to my senses."[/color] [color=555588]"Kill... You..."[/color] Jericho said weakly. [color=lightgreen]"Yeah, yeah."[/color] Nirvana laughed. [color=lightgreen]"You know I love ya kid."[/color] Just then Gwen stripped and due to his circumstances and the fact that she was in a magical prison he couldn't get to her. [color=555588]"Gwen... Naked..."[/color] [color=lightgreen]"I don't get what's the big deal. You used to take your clothes off all the time as a kid. Used to yell,[/color] [color=555588]'The beasts don't wear clothes and I'M THE KING OF THE BEASTS!'"[/color] Everyone laughed, including the kids. [color=555588]"Will... definitely... kill you."[/color] [hr] When Jericho could form coherent sentences Ceri asked him a question. She was way too precious. This and Rei's comfortable lap were more than making up for his embarrassing childhood story. [color=555588]"I haven't, but I'm excited. I heard they have tons of dragons. But I'm most interested in their Dragon God, Glacia. But what have you read about it?"[/color] The two continued the conversation until Jericho's ears perked up at the sound of a princess being insulted. When he heard it the second time confirming exactly what he heard he couldn't help himself. He launched himself feigning that he just now mustered the strength to move to defend Ceri's honor. It was partially true. If it wasn't for Elektra referring to Ceri out of name he wouldn't have even considered leaving this cushion until they arrived at their destination. He dashed forward unsheathing his blade before he even got to the Thought Projection. Even if it wasn't really her he had no intention on physically harming her. He was angry, not stupid and she'd know that. His blade found his way under Elektra's throat. [color=555588]"Chancellor, if you wish for us to help you, I'd suggest you give the dear Princess Ceri the respect she deserves and refer to her by name instead of spewing out venom every time you say the word Demon. I could taste it all the way over there. There's a certain gravity to your words and it tastes bitter."[/color] Without waiting for a response he sheathed his blade, keeping his eyes on her the entire time. Ceri was family and he didn't care about a mission or whatever punishment he could receive for this. As a knight he'd fall on his sword to stand up for his guild family.
