BiC: "What are you worried about?" Xantez asked as he tried looking at her face. Kika kept on avoiding eye contact with him, and it made him wonder more about the black mage. Could she be hiding something from us? Xantez wanted her trust to avoid any conflicts with the girl, so he tried his best to do so.

"Don't be so shy now. You are among friends," Xantez attempted to assure the mage. He looked at the boy and they both nodded, agreeing with what the soldier had said. "You don't have to be afraid now. Can we all just gain each others' trust and have a discussion?"

"Well," Kika began, both Xantez's and Viratious's eyes looking at her as they waited for an answer. The girl became shy again. Damn, this is harder than I expected. Xantez scratched his head, thinking of a way to make sure that she would just calm down. She seems so tense, so what's bugging her? Is she actually hiding something from us? He did what came to his head at that second, which wasn't one of his bright ideas, but it might've worked. He walked to the girl, and put his left arm around her shoulders.

"Look, it's obvious you're hiding something from us." The soldier nudged the mage lightly as he attempted to get on her good side. "But we aren't here to hurt you. We came to rest here, and you should come join us. Instead of us fighting, why not just have a little chat as we sit and relax for the day?"

"Come on, he's right," the boy assured her. "None of us want to fight today, so let's just relax and take a break. We all need it, so come join us and talk with us."

"Well..." Xantez looked at the mage's face when she fell into deep thought. He could not take his eyes off her. Damn, she's hot.

OoC: Hey, what can I say? He hits on ladies, so of course he thinks they're hot when they are in his mind XD.
