A chuckle escaped Ayl's lips at the color comment, though he chose not to respond to it. He was honestly surprised that the rest of the Hunter's gathered weren't rushing him with comments and questions now, but it was nice to see that they had the respect not to interrupt his conversation, at least.<br/><br/>With a resigned sigh, Ayl stood up from his seat, stretching his arms out as he did so. "I'm fine. Sam's fine. Evidently, you're fine. Our Silencer friend is fine, too, but he won't be if I ever see him again." As he spoke, his hands were occupied with undoing the golden thread that tied his jacket together. "The battle didn't last long. We exchanged blows a few times; he's a fast opponent, with enough punch to knock any of you out cold if he got a hit off." Next came the jacket, exposing the muscle shirt beneath as he laid it on the table in front of him. "He spouted some philosophical bullshit about how we're the 'evolution of humanity,' then stabbed me through the heart. But I already told you all, you don't need to worry about me. Because.." Off with the undershirt. "<span style="font-style: italic">I'm invincible.</span>"<br/><br/>Ayl's build was surprisingly muscular, given his thin frame. The wound in his chest was completely gone, and there were no signs of blood or scars or anything of the sort. It was exactly like it had been before the battle, completely and totally uninjured. The same could be said of the clothing he had just removed, with no noticeable hole in either the jacket or shirt, though that was because he had used needles of darkness to stitch the torn fabric together on his way back. There were no bruises anywhere from his other blows; indeed, it appeared as if Ayl had never been in a battle to begin with. "Do you believe me when I say that<span style="font-style: italic">now?</span>" he asked, the question directed at more or less everybody. "He can knock me out, but he'll never take me down," he concluded after a few moments of silence, once again taking his seat. "..Somebody get me some water? I'm parched, 'n it's still too hot in here."
