Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cail caught Sey's leg between his knees and lifted her up, pinning her hands at her sides and walking towards the desk with all the secretaries hiding behind it and not so gently tossing her onto it, glaring daggers at the old aquaintence.

"Will you just listen to me?!"

"If ANYONE has their head rammed up their a** it's you! Charging headlong into danger with utterly NO sense of what the hell's going on! WAKE UP SEYUMI KAIKOU!"

He assessed things quickly. It was his job, it was what he did. A glance, a measure of the situation, and he knew what to do. A healer, and some punk roughing her up.

He pushed through the doorway with his shoulder, his pistol was in a double handed grip, leveled right towards Cail's head. His hand was steady, his eye sharp, he was cool and calm, and trained marksman and gunfighter.

"I suggest you put the woman down, and step away."

Good, go and earn some goodie points. Hell, this should look excellent on his application.

Sey took one look at the stranger and frowned her eyes, scootching off the table and getting closer to him; essentially hiding behind him.

"Thank you for getting me out of that situation Sir, however..." She grabbed him by the side of the face and kissed him on the cheek, the area where her skin touched his tingling with magic.

"... You dare hold a gun to a Paladin of Fais' head again and you're going to have things much worse then just a kiss to deal with."

...

Damn. Once again, no good deed goes unpuni- was all his thoughts got to, before he drifted off to sleepyland, collapsing on the floor, his pistol skidding over the granite to about a yard from his outstretched hand.

Yup, he was sound asleep, from the look of it. Regular breathing, no reactions. Intersting thing was his eyes were still open, despite being out.

A black cat waltzed into the lobby, ramming through the rotating doors with her head. Why she couldn't bother to go human was her own concern; she was having fun with four legs and fur. It was a lot easier to walk like this, anyway.

She was just in time to see Sey kiss Daniel, and Daniel fall down like a sack of potatoes. Her gut wrenched, her face twisted by an emotion she hadn't felt in a long, long time...

Pure, unadulterated anger.

The invisible golden snakes, forged of mental and magical energy, poured from her body even as it writhed into a viscous black liquid, twisted and reforming into the shape of a woman. Owle's body solidified within a half second, the blue-haired woman standing as tall as her 5'3" would allow, her scale-covered shoulders shaking and her hands clenched into fists. Her light brown eyes were narrowed, staring at the priestess in something akin to hatred.

The invisible, untouchable, unsensible (except by those who could sense magic or telepathy) snakes flooded the room, their bodies undulating around the priestess and the knight. Their tongues flickered in and out of their mouths, hissing their displeasure.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?"

She knew, of course, that the kiss would only make him sleep. It was the why she wanted to know. It was the what would come after, the veiled threat in Sey's voice as Owle had entered. It was everything that she wasn't asking. Her friend was lying there on the floor as though dead, and it was Sey's fault...

Flare had been right. If Seyumi Kaikou had once been her friend, had once been the pure, innocent maiden Owle's faulty memories told her Sey was, the priestess was no longer. Sey had assaulted Daniel...and if the white mage didn't get the hell away from him, may all the gods forgive Owle for what she was about to do.

((I'll try to be around as often as I can so I don't hold you guys up. In return, please don't move the scene too far ahead by ignoring the angry telepath who's like to try to melt both your minds if you make any aggressive motions towards her or Daniel.

...hell, she'd probably even jump on you for unaggressive motions after what she just saw. sweatdrop ))

Catching Daniel and gently laying him on the ground when he dropped, Sey stood up straight and blinked at Cail's words. He wanted to WHAT!?

But when Owle walked in, those thoughts were pushed aside, and instincts came into play.

Sey's reaction became more... Defensive.

With Cail attacking her, Daniel pointing a GUN to his head when she only wanted to knock Cail out, and Owle barging inside with her snakes ready to tear their brains apart, she wasn't a very happy camper.

"Cail-AUGH!" She blinked as the flat of the dagger stopped inches away from her face and Cail turned around, standing infront of her. Grabbing onto his back and despite the intense yet useless casting she had been doing, Sey let her instincts guide her.

"Falis protect your Scions." She whispered, as a barrier formed around Cail, encompassing her body as well. As long as she stayed near him they'd both be fine.

"Owle, he's merely asleep. He isn't hurt at all. He thought that Cail was trying to kill me, though he isn't." She said, pinching his back.

"We're having a bit of a... Friendly Falician dispute. Paladin and White Mage deal only. The relationship is very complicated... Obviously." She said, staring at the back of Cail's light brown head.

"You can take the man... Just don't do anything hasty."
