Albireo’s ear sharpened to the sounds around him, specifically to those that grew louder and sharper, almost like a sudden burst of raspy and not altogether friendly grunts. He mouthed, quite loudly, to Momo then, “Great, I’m sent to rescue a pompous brat. Just my luck,” he said, sighing heavily and placing his right hand on his sword’s hilt while the other went to Momo’s shoulder, forcibly taking hold onto it if necessary. Suddenly Albireo threw off his cloak, revealing a shiny plated armor piece underneath. He drew his sword and took a step into the fray, forcibly taking Momo in with him if she was resisting. He didn’t know and wasn’t quite keen on looking back at her when there was an enormous amount of enemies in front.
“Listen Girly,” spoke he, his eyes darting left and right in case one of the brutes or runners came from those directions. “I don’t care what has happened in the past with you concerning my father’s race, and by judging from your tone earlier, it can’t be all good. I’ll say this once and once only; I will make sure you get out of here alive, unhurt, even if it means sacrificing my life to do so. I would like to hear why you spoke to me like that earlier,” he said, shooting a sly grin at her from up front. |
