Upon hearing the Pixie,
Tania's reply to his companion's squawk, Samuel realized that this girl seemed to be much less friendly than he had initially expected.
Gabriel seemed to shake slightly, until
Lena pulled her spirit away. She quickly turned to Samuel and offered a very deeo bow, nearly falling over while doing so.
"I-I have no idea what she said, b-but I am seriously sorry! I should have been watching her better." Samuel chuckled slightly, before waving his hand in a dismissive manner.
"No need to apologize, I was never so polite at your age! Besides, a 'sorry' never sounds good. 'Thank you' is much better! Besides, I doubt Gabriel is offended." Soon, however, she began to return to the middle of the floor. Samuel followed. After all, the best way to meet up with people is to go to the last place you met, right? Samuel could introduce the rest of the party when they were all together. In the distance the boy that Samuel had met first,
Okami, was... climbing a tree? That... seems rather strange.
I hope he is okay... Samuel runs to catch up with the
Lena and
Okami. Samuel quickly left the group, and returned holding a small card.
Summoner License: Samuel Evans. The rest of the information was written far to small for Samuel's old eyes to read easily. Just as he puts the license safely in his robe pocket a loud, boisterous voice rings out throughout the floor.
"Haha! Of course one of the sons of the Duquious Family got first place in such an easy event! You all should follow me, if you want to reach the top of the Tower! Join the strongest, and you'll become one of legends....second to me of course. I highly suggest all you new adventurers join me...though those who don't will be considered against me. You have been warned!" A very regal and proud boy appears to be standing on the podium, shouting out to all the other participants.
He's... eccentric, but maybe he is a nice person once you get to know him! Samuel refrains from saying anything to the boy, however. After all, he already invited one person to the group without permission, no need to dig himself into a bigger hole. As he waits for the others, a girl who just entered yells out something.
“What if no one joins you? Wouldn’t that mean that everyone here would be against you? Or maybe that means no one took you seriously?” Alright... another smarta**- Alec. Another smart alec... Samuel sighs.
Too bad more people can't be like Lena... AS this tought rings throughout his head, another voice picks itself out of the crowd.
“Sure. I’ll join you.” Samuel looks to his side to find Alex, openly agreeing to joining the boy's group. Samuel screams internally.
Please don't make enemies, please don't make enemies, please don't make enemies-! “But I won’t be a meat shield. I'll be one of your companions. If you'll have me. But don't expect me to be a puppet." The look on the blond boy's face was all Samuel needed to know that this was a bad move. With speed uncharacteristic of his age, Samuel jumped on stage as well.
Haha, it's alright! If no one else wants to, I'll be the meat shield! Just be sure not to fight among one another - Save that for the monsters! Samuel nervously laughs as he hisses into Alex's ear.
Please try to play nice, I don't want people to be after our throats. If you won't do it for me, do it for the group. Slowly, Samuel eased himself off of the stage, and away from the drama.
Nice job making a fool of yourself Samuel... A sense of unease passes over Samuel as he nearly bumps into a man (thankfully not another kid)...
He... I shouldn't hang around him. He reminds me of them... Samuel continues, making sure to keep tight to the group. He pulls away from the group as two other humanoids enter, standing next to the girl who called out the blond boy.
Now that I think about it... He said he was a part of the Duquious clan... Sounds important, at least! Upon looking back to the group, a small man(?) wearing a turban seemed to be shouting something up to
Okami, who was still climbing his tree. Just as quickly as the man(?) appeared, he moved on to talk to the man who gave Samuel that sense of dread...
Samuel begins to make his way back to the group, finally putting on his robes.
This group is getting more crowded by the minute... "Ahahaa, you're hilarious! No really! I have half a mind to show you a joke called 'See how many feathers you can force feed a bird through a funnel before he cries like the little feather-brained baby he is'. I mean really, Who would want to be friends with a useless, flightless dodo anyways? I bet you can't even go anywhere by yourself! You have to have this old bat do it for you." ...
...
... Joke?
That isn't funny. That isn't funny at all. That hurts me.
I am not useless. I am
NOT useless.
DO NOT CALL ME USELESS! I was useless. That's why they did it, why they betrayed me. Not anymore. Now? I am
far above them.
No one can call me useless now. I am strong. I have a summoner! So what if I must rely on master? He is the reason I am no longer useless. I will show you. I WILL.
YOU WILL KNOW WHAT HELL IS LIKE IF YOU CALL ME USELESS! ... Calm down,
Gabriel. You are the bigger man... Metaphorically. It's hard to be bigger physically when being compared to a FAT UGLY SOW LIKE HER-... Calm down.
They were wrong when they called me useless. When they abandoned me to die. 'Break his wings, he can't use them anyways!'...
I'll show them.
That's right... I am the mighty
Gabriel... I am not useless... Not anymore...
