One of these days, Karn was going to give him a fucking stroke. That guy just needed to learn that not everyone was as touchy feely as he was.
"What an exhausting guy." He muttered to himself. To save his sanity, he ignored whatever Brianna was saying to him lest she kept burning his braincells.
"Just means she'll go to sleep early." He said to Sasha with a chuckle.
Nolan arched his brow when Damian began to speak again. The sound of a guitar playing a tune that had been popular lately. The curtain behind him pulled open to show that there was an entire band set up behind Damian and now the swordsman was the front man.
What the actual hell? When the hell did they have time to set up for a concert in the guild? Damian had
just arrived in the guild for the first time in two years and they had instruments at the ready and sound settings tweaked? While everyone else was excited for the free concern, Nolan just stood there with a blank expression on his face.
"Please tell me they aren't going to rehearse at his place." If that was the case, goodbye any shred of peace that was left in his chaotic abode that was his house. Well, Dalton was head banging to the music so at least someone was having fun. Nolan had just completely ignored the fact that Rajah was flung across the room. Her existence was something that he actively tried to ignore in general.
Nolan sighed and shook his head though he took a step back as he watched Jasmine launch herself at Penny. Was... was she crying? That was definitely an overreaction; not much had happened in the last two years besides her involvement with the Slayer training camp. While Nolan didn't attend, he did hear some horror stories though the grapevine about the kind of training they were doing. One would think that she would have a bit more resilience after that though that was obviously not the case. And now that she just glanced at Nolan, Jasmine was scared witless and hiding behind Penny, again. Every single time she was ever around him, even when he was minding his own business she retreated from him as if he was some dangerous apex predator chasing after a rabbit. Sure, he knew his reputation in the guild was not sparkly, but was he really that scary?
The God Slayer still had to deal with how to defuse the tension between him and Jasmine; the last thing he needed was a lecture on not terrorizing guild members by just existing. And Trinity came in with the save with a collared Rajah to lure the terrified Dragon Slayer.
"I've never seen anything so puny, yet think so highly of itself. She's like an angry chihuahua." He teased with a smirk at the arrogant little bugger, but his attention was quickly grabbed away when he heard his beloved.
"Ariel, welcome-" He was cut off by Ariel kissing him without warning. From his cheeks to the tips of his ears, he was redder than Enma's skin and Dalton just let out a loud, long whistle. Nolan wasn't awful with public displays of affections, but he was completely weak to her surprise attacks so he just stood there wide-eyed and flushed in the face.
"That's a hell of a greeting." He said to himself out loud. His eyes scanned her from head to toe as she twirled though in the end he focused on her smile. She was happy and that was all that mattered.
"I like it. You seem more confident with yourself. It suits you very much.""Ya lookin' the part!" Dalton chimed in.
"Nolan's a lucky guy." He said with a smirk, much to Nolan's embarrassment. He wasn't wrong.
Nolan cleared his throat to draw attention away from that little comment.
"How are you? Your trip seemed to be..." He looked at the Kitsune and then back to Ariel,
"eventful. What happened?" Enma chuckled at Prince's antics. Out of the majority of the people in the guild, that cat-man magic vampire guy was definitely one of the more entertaining members and of course, Michael's reactions were always golden.
"Well I'm rooting for you two." He teased before turning his attention to Cailyn.
"I'm a pretty fun guy in general. Maybe you can find out more if we went out for a drink or two." And there he was trying to make a pass at her, again. They had to give it to him, he sure as hell had the confidence considering he had the face that was the stuff of absolute nightmares.
He felt like someone's gaze was piercing his soul and he turned to the little missy with sparkly eyes who started to bombard him with a series of questions that kept on being piled on and on, on him. Before he could get even a word through to her, Ash's elbow found that his head was a great armrest and the fire mage began to mock him for someone not running away from him.
"Bite me, battle freak." The oni said as he shook her arm off.
"Well last I checked, I'm a real one and yes, your father is correct. While we do share traits, we do have our own individual features and personalities like any other person." He explained as to remove the expectation that they come in only a few varieties.
"My favorite color is yellow, my favorite food is takoyaki, and yes, I do have magic. I am a member of the guild, see?" The oni extended his jaw far beyond what a human possibly could to the point it looked like he could just eat Keiko's head in one bite. He stuck his blue tongue out to show the yellow Dragon Fang guild mark was printed on it.
Enma shut his mouth and laughed, knowing that he got quite a few looks for that display.
"To answer your question though, I practice two forms of magic: one that grants me durability and the ability to hit things without a solid form," he held one of his hands out, which then glowed with a blue, smoke like aura,
"and the second lets me generate vibrations for multiple uses." He held his other hand and it seemed like the air around it was buzzing. Both magics were soon dispelled.
"As for how I fight, it's not really elegant. I try to adapt to the situation and hit as hard as I can.""And of course I sleep. A good night's rest keeps your complexion nice and healthy." It was when Silver Wolf made his introduction that he forgot to introduce himself as well.
"And I'm Sengoku Enma, an A-Class of this guild. A pleasure to meet you Keiko." Enma gave the small girl a pat on the head with his oversized hands.
A job huh? Enma wasn't oblivious to Silver Wolf's unease whenever he was around him. Silver was the kind of man that had been raised on superstition and hearsay about the oni's kind. That sort of prejudice does not go away over night. It didn't help that when they first met, Enma came on strong since he was curious about the fact that he was a God Slayer just like Jack and Nolan.
"Sorry, perhaps another time?" There wasn't a point in them working together if Silver was going to be uncomfortable around him.
