With the geezard sufficiently wearied (the last vestiges of its strength poured into its final attack), and Sion balanced once again, the white mage...! Leans down, scooping the creature into his arms before rising again, his fingertips touching to its lizard skin (avoiding its mouth and many rows of teeth) to see it calmed, nearly sedate with all energy expended, unable to contend with the King's otherworldly aura of grace. ]
Thank you, Ain. [ For now, it seems, the geezard will be their traveling companion?? ] I should have been more watchful of the field.
[ To their good fortune, it looks as though the ochu will not be returning, injured as it had been by Ain's blade and Sion's wind magic. ]
That you had to draw your sword, it was my mistake. [ An apologetic smile, followed by a resolute note of head: ] Next time... I will make certain that you do not have to reach for it.
[ Definitely. Ain, with all the tension within him, seems as though he knows no other way than that of the sword. And so: if it is at all within Sion's power, he will ensure that the drawing of the blade remains unnecessary.
(Just because had been created as a tool, as a marionette, did not mean they could not defy their own design, as the King himself had.) ]
