Sapphira nodded, wondering how to reply as Julian spoke about the Neo English Gundam that was being debuted this year. From her research, she knew that the intended pilot for this particular marvel had been killed years back, so, while she wouldn't get overconfident, she wasn't expecting too much of a challenge from that one. She wasn't as much of an expert as she wished she was, though, and, if the events leading up to the Spartan Restoration had taught her anything, it was that the winner wasn't always the person you'd expect it to be.<br/><br/>Just before she could speak, however, Sapphira was cut off by shouts and cries as people dived out of the way of what appeared to be an out-of-control souvenir truck barreling right down the street toward them. Without thinking, the brunette shoved Julian and his pet out of the way of the two tons of unforgiving steel coming at them, squinting her eyes shut then as she had left no time to get herself to safety, the rampaging vehicle just a few meters away. There was little she could do for herself then, but fortune was with her, as a red-haired girl (http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/1202-1780969554.jpg) in a regal-looking white dress jumped between her and the truck, raising up a thick, flat, circular wooden shield with a thick metal spike on the end just in time for the truck to collide with her defense.<br/><br/>What then would have been a gruesome accident for a normal person turned into an incredible display of strength, as the truck crashed to a halt on the red-haired girl's shield, only pushing her a few inches back toward Sapphira and making her bite her lip with strain as she brought the runaway vehicle to a halt. With the danger finally averted, the girl exhaled deeply and pulled her shield back the spike having pierced the truck's engine and left it useless for the time being. She then turned to look between Sapphira and Julian with a light smile. "Ye both alright?" she inquired in a surprisingly soft voice.
