006 - [Action] Fourth Wall

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Well, this is kind of weird.

Dhaos lives on the sixth floor of CH3, if you'd like to accost him there, but as it happens he has vague, unspecified errands to run in town. As much as he'd rather stay at home with all this ruckus outside, he's finding that his luck just doesn't permit such luxuries.

Feel free to ask him what his vague, unspecified errands are, of course! 8D]

[Well, this is going to be extremely awkward, what with Grune standing right there. Cress takes note of her, but her presence isn't enough to stop him completely.]

Dhaos! What are you doing here!?

[...Never mind that Cress doesn't know where here is, or how he got there in the first place. He may be drawing his sword and going into a battle stance, but it doesn't look like he'll make the first move.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Okay, he hasn't said anything... too incriminating yet... Well, Grune wouldn't believe him anyway, but still.

...Dhaos can't be overly hostile with her around, either. Mmmmmmph. Fine, lineface time. He doesn't care if Cress actually delivers the first blow or not.]

Sheathe your blade, Cress Albane. Do not start a fight in circumstances you have no grasp of.

[He remembers your name! Don't you feel special?]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune blinks at both the sound of a sword being drawn and Dhaos' next words. That...isn't something friends do, is it?

Now she's really trying to see past him.]

Oh, no, you shouldn't fight. Someone might get hurt.

[albanestyle]

[Dhaos remembered his name! CRESS FEELS LIKE THE SPECIALEST. Also, he's not sheathing his blade, because like hell Cress is going to let Dhaos boss him around and tell him what to do. ...But, okay, Grune is clearly someone who has no idea what is going on. The right thing to do, obviously, is to get her out of harm's way as soon as possible. There's no telling what Dhaos might try, after all.]

Miss, you should get away from here. That man is dangerous.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Obviously in this Dhaos' case it's because Cress made a huge fuss over Dhaos actually calling him by his name in the final battle, BUT YES HE REMEMBERS YOUR NAME. TAKE HEART, HE ONLY KNOWS ARCHE AND MINT'S NAMES AND ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS TOLD LATER.

Also bro why you gotta be like this. Dhaos is just pointing out what should be common sense, except Cress is apparently too eager to fight to really care.

As for his advice to Grune... Well, Dhaos just raises his chin in quiet defiance and waits for Grune's answer. He's... kinda looking forward to it.]

[lostinmyway]

[Even if she can't see the other person too well, she immediately shakes her head.]

Oh, no, that's not true. Dhaos is a very nice person.

[It's quite clear her belief in him is unshakable.]

[albanestyle]

[First, Dhaos, you are not Cress's bro. Bros do not destroy other bros's villages, or kill their parents, or try to kill them, or any of that. Seriously, what school of bro-hood did Dhaos event attend?

Second, Grune is either a) really naïve; b) completely out of it; or c) being controlled by Dhaos. Since Cress is Cress, C is going to be his choice, which means that Dhaos is being a jerk and not a bro. Again. So, for now, he's going to ignore Grune.]

Enough, Dhaos! How many innocent people are you going to use for your evil plans? I won't stand for it! I'm not going to forgive you for all the things you've done and all the suffering you've caused. I will definitely defeat you, Dhaos!

[And with that, Cress is going to throw caution to the wind and run towards Dhaos, pointy end of his sword very much aimed at Dhaos's direction. However, his measly, haven't-even-finished-the-Valhalla-Plains self probably won't stand a chance against Dhaos right now.]
