@dabombjk@Spriggs27@Seirei No Hai@famishedpants@lunarlors34Ease's brow raised up once again. Zin's words of how she thought Vesta and Neige were friends were making the elf...surprisingly nervous. She kept stuttering and let out rather embarrassed whimpers every few seconds. Hell, she was even blushing at the mere thought as if she was an embarrassed girl noticed by her crush. Ease wasn't entirely sure what to even think at this sight but hey. He doesn't know much about either of these women. Maybe she had a crush on Vesta? Or maybe she's just naturally nervous as a shy puppy...
Wow that mental image is actually way more adorable than I thought."...I-I mean the meat shield... that boy you were trying to save is m-my meatshield so..." Thank God someone understood what he was trying to do. Despite this fact, she still seemed nervous as all hell. She was still stammering talking to him. Probably something to do with what Zin was saying before. Whatever. Opening his mouth and preparing to speak, he was quickly interrupted by Kyle's attempt to say sorry.
He couldn't lie...He felt bad for the kid. The kid got him slashed but it's not like he meant to. Hell, this entire situation probably wasn't on the poor kid's agenda. Even worse, the elf completely shut down his seemingly heartfelt apology with an icy glare and a hiss directly towards his face. Wait...Did that kid say appas? And as if to interrupt the new thought, Ratatosk jabbed his face with his paw. Ease looked him only for Ratatosk to point towards the two as if to say "do something."
Ease did an attention grabbing throat clear.
"Look, all things considered it could be worse. Better appas then having a cut upon on your chest. That, aside, if it's simply appas that's the issue, then we *holds up a destroyed bag of berries* happen to be in a similar situation." He proceeded to toss the emptied bag over his head.
"I can help with replacing those rather easily. There's a market stand not too far from here. How about we all go there, *points at Neige* replenish your appas, *points at the boy* help you learn a bit more about this wor-country, *points at himself* and help find me a healer and some more berries. Ah before I forget, we should get introductions out of the way as well. *with a new smile* My name's Ezekiel Evans. And what may your two's names be?" Despite his attempts to defuse the situation, he seriously wanted to deck the both of them into a different continent. His anger was actually immense at the moment. He took a blow from a swordsman, lost berries he just bought, and made a fool of himself because two people couldn't solve a simple dispute about freaking appas? Well, one things for certain. He's guilt tripping them like no tomorrow the moment he's better.
"Dona."And the ground was shaking again. Shit. He looked over his head as Vesta seemed to be getting another spell ready.
"On second thought, let's get moving first. If either of you are opposed to this, don't be. The only things that'll respond are the rocks that are gonna be flying in this direction in a sec. Got it?" His voice was urgent, but incredibly stern, like a father giving his children an order. He turned, started speeding walking, and proceeded to push the elf and boy by the back to help get the lot of them to safety, with each of his hands to each of the shorter individuals backs. It was becoming very blatant that he 1. Didn't want to be involved with this and 2. That he was getting sick of this. He gave a look back as if to scan the fight and what was going on. Vesta seemed to have summoned stone tendrils from the ground around her. Hmm...That was new. Then again, he hadn't been exposed to much earth magic. He wondered...could he do something similar?
