Shantotto sighed, her face was one of disgust. "The nerve of those fools, the act of villainy we take no part... We mearly ended the suffering of those who could not be saved. Twas but an act of the heart." He words held a hint of sorrow that Serrpah barely picked up on,not due to lack of emotion but rather due to his worry regarding their safety. The sounds of deep breathing filled the newly created sanctuary,that and the sound of her thinking in barely audible words to herself. His own breathing was rapid, having picked up the small doctor who had struggled almost violently against his valiant attempts. Her hands were on her hips as she took a moment to think. It was houmous to see something so small acting as if almost nothing had happened, that or she was so absorbed into her own thoughts she didn't even care. Finally words sprang from her lips as she faced the arrancar and spoke.
"I will thank you now for the service you've lent, But we have a task, the one we've been sent." she said as she waved her stardust rod around her "Quake!" she said as pillars of stone erupted from below the alleyway, destroying the wall Serraph had just erected. His face agape as he watched what he had just done to save them was reduced to rubble in an instant. “What?” was all he could manage before the small Tarutaru was already waddling back into view.
The sounds of crumbling stone drew the mob to a halt who quickly turned around to see the wall turning to dust beneight the churning earth below.
"There they are!" a roar went up from the crowd who quickly stopped and turned back towards the alleyway.
Shantotto took step out back into the main street, stopping the crowd as she stared them down,a glimmer in her eyes was visible to Serraph, who came out and stood behind her, even if a bit nervous.
Her voice sounded full of confidence as she called out to the crowd. “ Now listen here you bumbling fools, we are here to help so let us complete what we need to do, if we don't halt the flames nippur will be through!
“Murderer!” A voice called out as a rock flew through the air at the vertically challenged mage. A papery fist extended out grasping the smooth stone tightly just before it hit her.
“Alas you all can not be made to see reason, such is the flaw in mob cohesion.” She said as she drew her stardust rod once again from behind her back, pointing it at the mob. “Quake” the spell erupted from the ground separating them from the mobas the earth churned below a stone pillar. “Enough of this you barbarians must know to stop this ruse, to tussle with us will will shorten my fuse.” She warned them, taking the paper swordsman's hand and waddling back towards the irrigation plant.
“ I will thank you again when the timing is right, for now we must keep moving to avoid a pointless fight” her words had an almost cheery sing-songyness to them.
The distance between them and the mob grew as they got closer and closer to the plant, the flames from the resulting explosions had already begun to consume more buildings, wooden frames and collapsed stone were all that remained in the wake of the flames.
Shantotto stopped as she looked at a building still getting ravaged by the flames. Her rod, still in hand pointed at the flames “flood” she muttered as water materialized out of the tip of her rod, blasting out like a water cannon, the torrent of water washed over the fires depriving them of the air it needed and reducing the embers to nothing but charcoal.
Serraph stood back as she worked, his eyes were a noticeably different color than they had been, a more gentle look filled them. He looked behind them every few moments hoping the angry mob would give up and let them work. “This is quite the mess we’ve molded, M’lady.” His voice almost sounded disinterested at having to clean up this mess, not to mention the slight possibility of death that had come up out of the little mages act of mercy.
Beside him, the little mage acted seemingly without a care in the world, almost as if she was used to these kinds of situations, She was a confident creature, the likes of which He had yet to fully understand, he wan enjoying eating up all of the information she was offering him, even if she didn't realize it.
