Alright, this was getting ridiculous. Larus was grateful to have survived the first round in tact, and with a chance to catch his breath, and he supposed he didn't really mind watching D'Neya, just to stay cool with Sister Clara, but now the creature "B" had shown up as well. What was he, a kindergarten teacher? The last kid he'd had to deal with had turned into a human fireball and almost cooked him. He cast his mind back to the introduction. The irritating organizer guy had said something about turning into animals. Problematic.
"Behave yourself, little girl," he said sharply to the Twilight Sprite, before turning to B. "Look, I don't know who died last round, but I was nowhere near when it happened, and that suited me just fine. So how about we just lay low and hope someone else will do the dirty work for us, okay?"
"Sure, I guess..." answered B, eying the gray man warily.
As the mists thickened around them, Larus couldn't think of anything but how irritating the kid's voice was. Kids, good god. At this point he really just wanted someone ordinary and boring to beat the crap out of. As B watched him, he couldn't help but notice a glint in the boy's eyes. It seemed the annoyance was mutual.
Out of the corner of his eye, Larus suddenly caught a flash of color through the trees. "Oh god, it's that pink thing again. Let's get out of here before she tries to hug or stab us again."
"Yay, it's Aph!" cried D'Neya joyfully.
Before he knew what had happened, she slipped out of his grasp and strolled in the direction of the nymph. Larus swore under his breath, debating whether to follow or just seek safety elsewhere, when suddenly a thick bank of fog swept over him, obscuring his vision entirely.
