"That is why you're here after all, to make sure we get through these forests intact" Sydney's voice was apparent and to most distasteful as he moved a few metres in front of Eva scanning the area, not out of thought or mind but rather how much magical antagonists twists these forest to gain a certainty in power. His fingers slashed against each other abusing flickers of sparks much like a short light show than any, but a sudden stop and a turn to Eva as he caught on to her comment that included the boy-knight "If youâ€™re scared you can hide behind me if you like" however his expression didnâ€™t show any sign of playful banter but rather an affective expression with a perked brow, he saw that look in her eyes earlier playing within the confines of her mind who is the meat shield, perhaps some not so intuitive than others but from an animalâ€™s view it was all too easy to notice, perhaps it was by chance he turned his gaze towards her direction or maybe sensed it, but if such a choice came to pass he was sure she wouldnâ€™t hesitate even if it was him.<br/><br/>Turning his gaze forward and happened to be near a tree, he placed a metallic hand against its confines and leaned, his boots dug into the ground and his left hand pressed against his waste as if he were waiting for someone, though all the while in his mind his thoughts forever whirled on the first confrontation they would engage in, either it be amongst each other or something else. But he had faith to say lesser of his being in this group and that it will try to hold together, after all what would be the point in joining if splitting up was involved, that thought came from little Mira, always attempting to play with the grown-ups and a smile to go with that instinct of seeing how she would fair on her own, being hunted down by animals and men a like until she to either went mad or mutilated.<br/><br/>"Are we to press on?" Since the group had stopped his questioning was aimed at Holt, his voice clear and powerful to gain the attention of others, he didnâ€™t care for amusing himself, that would be given that pleasure in due time nor playing the childish games of Eva. Always the send intolerant herbalist and trust such a person to be onana operation such as this, perhaps she would be more of an annoyance than entertainment, though there was a surprise even if she didnâ€™t show it on that Rocco fellow always keeping a secret or two to himself, then there was the new "member" Til. He wouldnâ€™t mind showing her a few tricks with his hands if she so wished to see, perhaps he could show her a magic trick, making your face disappear and morph it into something truly hideous.<br/><br/>All the while there was that silence as Sydney spoke aloud seeming like waiting on ceremony for Holtâ€™s replies "Well?" When he spoke in such a straight forward manor it was as if he were sane and perhaps capable of feeling, the feeling of annoyance to say the least.
