Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rend felt the patting on his rear and then Italia's response and was rather glad he was so dark toned, else his face heating up might have been noticeable. When Italia put her arms around his waist to help, he started pushing against the booth as hard as he could, their combined efforts managing to pull his horns free, leaving a couple large holes in the wood where they'd previously been. Rend moves to stand up quickly, offering Italia a hand up if she wanted. "Thanks for the help. Are... you alright? I didn't hurt your or anything when we finally got me free, did I?"

Rend has the decency to give a slight embarrassed cough, then shrugs. "If there wasn't a chance on something getting accidentally destroyed, the running wouldn't matter. But, as I don't want to cause more work for your father or whoever would have to 'clean up' after my bungling, I think it would be safe to say no running in alleyways or near breakable things." He grins again, then stretches slightly, glancing up at the sky. "Actually, I hate to cut our time short, but I should start heading back to the temple before it gets dark and Mother sends out a search party." He frowns slightly, tail swaying behind him. "I'm just not sure I'll be able to safely find an exit on my own... Got turned around in here trying to keep up with you."
