Kyuuten had collected a rather impressive stash of snacks soon after arriving at the food vendors section. Pyrrha, still clutching the small teddy bear in her arms wasn't really interested in most of but she did find a yearning for shaved.
"Alright, two shaved ices coming up~" Before he stepped away to oblige the spirit, his ears perked.
"Hm? Did you hear something?" Pyrrha shook raised a brow and shook her head. Kyuuten scratched his cheek and took her word for it, then preceded to buy a couple of shaved ices. Meanwhile, after Kyuuten mentioned hearing something Pyrrha couldn't help but feel a presence close by. Before she could get her bearings on the feeling she suddenly felt a icy sensation slip down her back.
"Kyaa!" Her shriek caused Kyuuten to flinch and crush the cold snack in his hands in the way back.
"You okay?" It was not the best idea to place his hand on her shoulder at the moment. As soon as he touched her Pyrrha lit up with lightning magic, effectively melting the ice down her back and elecrticuting the snowy haired wizard.
"Ah, sorry...um, you okay?" Kyuuten was flat on his back, his hair frazzled and his body smoking.
"Yeah...my snacks however..." Were all fried to a crisp. Kyuuten sat up, a black demon-esque tail unfurling from under his shirt. He ran his hand along it to smooth down its fur which was just as frazzled as his head. They've been partners for five years, he was used to getting a good shock every now and then when he upset her.
"What was that for?" Pyrrha looked around her trying to find the source of her chilly surprise.
"Nothing...I mean I didn't mean to get you this time. Someone put ice down my back but..." As she looked around Kyuuten caught on to her dilemma. There was no one in sight who could have done it. However, Kyuuten was familiar enough with a certain Golem to know that he had the tools for the task.
"Hehe, I think I know who you're looking for. How ya doing K-?"Kyuuten began to call out the slayer with an identity crisis when a commotion could suddenly be heard. Looking in the direction of the uproar, there was really only one situation where that would cause such panic. Still, Golem wasn't petty enough to ruin a festive day just because a couple of Harpies wandered in.
"Uh oh, that can't be good. Come on, Pyrrha." Kyuuten's body started to glow as he activated Meteor and lifted off the ground.
"Sometimes being right is more dissapointing than satisfying." She sighed as she took his hand and they flew off, Meteor carrying them to the site of the disturbance in mere seconds.
Upon arrival it was clear to see what had played out before hand. Illedrith was poised to defend her precious guildmate from the only Golem member Kyuuten could say he see any respectable qualities in. Vega just seemed to actively make people hate him even within his own guild. His scythe was pointed at Ria who had a habit of running her mouth at the worst times and the melting ice in the area added evidence that this started with her. Letting go of Pyrrha, Kyuuten blasted forward to put himself between Illedrith and Vega, throwing his arms out on either side.
"Last time I checked, 'Throw down in the middle of town' wasn't on the festival schedule. Sorry, if our members have done anything to upset you..." Kyuuten offered Vega an apology...
Even if you have the temperament of a child! Face to face with Vega, it was the one time most would see him glare at anyone. Kyuuten knew Vega looked at him with disgust, more than he did with most people. He had rushed into the middle of the situation to aid his guildmates without considering that his presence might have the opposite effect he intended.
