Chapter Text
The trio was .. in another fight! To Dionte's discontentment , his friends seemed to have a lust for blood... Or they weren't able to run away from the monsters. Its neck was... long, so so long. It was hard to think that this was once a person. He clutched his knife , this was routine for him now. As expected, Etzel goes first. Worms came out of her mouth , it was gross, really gross, but most dark priests intentionally have parasites in them. The leaches attach to it , sucking it blood. She looked... Rejuvenated? Then, Nikola goes and uses a simple pyromancy trick, hitting its torso with precision. Both impressive , really, Dionte doesn't like to use magic if he doesn't need to... But a little show off doesn't hurt. He brings his ritual knife to his wrist and draws blood from it , maybe he cuts a bit too deep but he doesn't really care. The blood slowly rolls down his arm as he recites a spell. A black orb is shoved to the creature's torso and , just like that, falls down in defeat.
He looked at them with a proud look, they seemed rather concerned however...
"Why would you do that?" Eztel asked.
Honestly, he didn't really have an answer. They both are so skilled ... He just felt a need to impress them. Nikola took his bleeding arm rather violently and observed it. Adjusting his glasses, he slowly pulls on his skin to see how deep it was ... It for sure wouldn't be deadly, he knows that, but it did manage to concern him.
"Outch, that hurts you know!!" Dionte complains.
"Shut up, it was your idea to do that." Nikola hissed.
He grunted as Etzel passed a blue herb out of her bag, he could've taken care of it himself, it was just a little cut! She rubs it on the wound , Dionte clutches his fist and hissed in pain, as an unexpected response, Nikola holds his other hand firmly. He looked up at him , confused. Why would he do that? He didn't need to, definitely not! Before he could even think, he took some tissue out and wrapped them around his wrist ever so gently... Why so gentle ? What did he do to deserve this kindness!?
