"By half, you meant nothing, right?" Lank complained, pushing on some branches in his way.
"Look out!" Yelled in a whisper at Nix, hoping he could dodge before the branch hits him.
Twak!
The branch slapped Nix across the face, leaving a red mark on his cheek. Lank winced to the sound, feeling guilty as charged. The others stifled a laugh at what had happened.
"You should be happy Arion isn't here, that would have left a beautiful reminder to that jerkface." Gia snorted, trying to make light of the situation for Lank's sake.
Inhaling and exhaling, Nix forced a smile, "let's carry on, shall we?" He pointed in the direction of where Obsidian led in front of them.
Pulling the saber from its sheath strapped at his back, he took a slice on the very branch that had slapped him on the face.
"You wouldn't be a nuisance anymore." Nix snickered watching the branch fall into the mud below.
Bam!
Lumina slapped him on the head in rage.
