[Torch's pen is flying across his notebook as he prepares another spell to try and prevent Sage from interfering with Chaosbringer's attacks on the Kirin... Except she manages to interrupt him first]
-!!
[the spell he'd been penning for Chaosbringer is hastily changed, Torch crouches down, his cloak wrapped protectively around himself as a series of flame pillars erupting in front of Torch to try and block Sage's attack]
Look around you! What do you think this is? Is this what 'not letting people down' looks like to you!?
As for you...[he turns his attention to the Giraffe, because Olruggio understands. He had been a Novice just as anyone else had been. He had a great many spells from his youth, his creativity and willingness to experiment making it so that he could have chosen to be any Archetype he wanted. But that had been the problem, hadn't it? He'd noticed it in Junna, but not quickly enough...] I don't know what story you're trying to come up with, but we're juggling two full time jobs and, dare I say it, doing it quite well.
[Torch sweeps the heavy fabric of his cloak back, holding out his spell book as he creates a ball of flame, dropping it near the centre of the arena to heal Koi or Chaosbringer, should either of them enter it's small area of effect]
Pah, as if I'd want life advice from an imaginary animal.
[Before he can ready another spell, Torch spots the fire at La Pucelle feet and reacts automatically, shouting;]
no subject
