Axel J Black
Axel, still stunned by Grimm's sudden change of appearence, was hit dead center of his abdomen and was propelled straight out of the inn. He flew out and hit the hard ground. It took him a second to regain his breath and gather his thoughts. He rolled onto his back and just laid there. He wasn't really expecting to start the fight in the inn, but he should have expected it. He let his guard down, and he was silently condemning himself because of it. He quickly snapped out of it when he suddenly felt a wave of magic flow over him. It wasn't strong, but he could feel it seeping into his wounds taking a little edge off of what little pain there actually was. Axel looked up and saw the figure of a women walking into the bar. He didn't get to see who she actually was, but he assumed it was her who had cast the healing magic on him.
Axel laid there for a few more seconds and jumped up onto his feet. He needed to stop being mad at himself, and be more careful next time. He decided to do a small stretch in order to loosen the tightening muscles in his abdomen. The hit was clean and it was going to be sore for a little bit, but that was nothing new to Axel. He had suffered much worse injuries before and this wasn't going to slow him down any. After his stretch was done, he decided to walk back into the inn. He walked in right at the end of Vikki's little lecture. He had known that it was a race against the clock, and he didn't want to start a fight in the inn originally. He was going to wait until the group had left town and had some time to kill, but that must not have been overly well communicated. He didn't like Vikki's comment on not having honor and not being a soldier, but it wasn't the time to comment on that.
He then looked over and saw another woman begin to speak. It was Maria Cross, one of the heads of this operation. He never really talked to her, but he knew of her. He smiled at her last comment, but didn't say anything. He then watched as Vikki slowly walked back towards to the door Axel was now standing in front of. He watched her closely as she walked towards him. He knew she wasn't happy and what she thought of him and Grimm, but he just stepped to the side and gave a cheeky smile towards her. "Going to be a fun trip."
