"Calm down!" Noticing the changes on the girl's face, I rushed forward.
Just in time. Were I to be a single moment later, Teria would slip out of my grasp. Only thanks to my timely reaction I managed to wrap my hands around her waist, before pulling her down to the ground.
"If we kill them, this entire mission will turn far harder!" I knew how hard it was to remain calm after obtaining a fresh injury. For this girl, any attempts at stopping her could easily make her turn on me, recognizing my actions as a threat to her safety.
Thankfully, the girl proved to be calmer than I was in a similar situation. Relaxing her wings, she obediently landed on the ground.
"Excuse me…?" Still holding her waist for my dear life, I now realized what kind of position did that put me in. Instantly releasing my hold on her, I distanced my face from the side of her chest against which it was pressed just a moment ago.
