@Zarkun@Caits@CirusArvennicusNOLAN"A ball huh? Act nice with royalty and deal with you lot longer than I have to? I'd rather-" What he was going to say was that he would probably just ditch it, but then a thought came to his mind. This was a perfect chance to take Ariel out as his date for the ball and have some much needed fun with her. His face visibly erupted red when he imagined her in a dress and he cleared his throat, his eyes adverting from everyone else.
"I, uh, on second thought I'll go. I guess it can be fun..." Realizing how weird he was acting in front of everyone caused his face lit up even more red than before and stood there like a deer in front of headlights.
"Um, uh, um...I gotta go!" Nolan sped off, looking straight down at the ground so he wouldn't have to look at them in the eye.
@t2wave@BurthstoneDALTON and
NOLAN"Huh, never heard of ya." Dalton bluntly stated to Mayt. Compared to other mages from Phoenix Wing that he knows of, he never heard of the mage standing in front of him before.
"But uh, it's nice to meet ya anyway. I'm Dalton, Nolan Waltz' partner." The Exceed said with a wide grin on his face though it was shot down in almost an instant.
"Partner is an overstatement." Nolan had found Ariel while he was heading towards the stands and saw that she was interacting with Dalton and Mayt. He had approached them with his typical scowl that was his typical resting expression.
"It would be much more accurate to call you a perverted, freeloading furball that stinks of booze and hair gel." "That was cold man." Dalton sulked slightly and floated down to his side, dejected by Nolan's harsh words.
The slayer's face softened when he looked at Ariel, giving her a smile that told her that he was glad to see her.
"Hey Ariel, the royal family is throwning a ball tonight for all of them guilds that participated in the games. Wanna make this a date?" "Oooooooo a night for romance I see! Nudge, nudge! Wink, wink!" Dalton teased the couple and was met with a sword hovering a few inches away from his pompadour.
"N-Nolan? Buddy old pal of mine?" "I'm giving you five seconds to get out of my sight or your pompadour is going to be a lot shorter. One...Two...Three" Within the span of seconds, the bipedal feline sprinted off. He chuckled and sheathed his sword back in its scabbard. His attention was now turned to to Mayt and arched his brow when he saw the Phoenix Wing mark on the man's hand while he struggled to put his glove on.
"Another mage from our guild huh? Haven't seen you around before."@RaijinslayerZEV"On paper that sounds ideal, but you never reveal your full hand to potential enemies. Especially when we know nothing about them in the first place. The enemy can learn the strengths and weaknesses of the mages that fought today. I hope I wouldn't need to concern myself with explaining how dangerous that potentially can be." Zev leaned back in his seat and folded his arms, deep in thought. He had not been in the loop with the criminal underworld for a long time so he had not heard of any information regarding tensions with other countries. What have the royal family and the Magic Council been hiding?
Standing up, he motioned Ezekiel to follow him.
"Come on kid, the royal family is throwing all of the guilds a ball tonight and you're definitely not going in that." Zev said, referring to the country bumpkin's baggy clothes.
"Do you have any clothes that are a least bit nice?"@CaitsFERRIS"Wait wait wait, war? I know Fiore has been rising back into power, but to suggest war is an extreme conclusion to jump to." Ferris said with caution. Was there really going to be a war? He sighed and leaned back in his seat.
"It doesn't matter thinking of hypotheticals now. Let's just enjoy tonight's ball."
