Coordinan breathed out a sigh of relief as he feels Kalseru's health getting back to normal, his attention is instantly brought back to the angry sibling and her trembling might.

Coordinan: T-That's good to know, b-but *clears throat* right now let's be there for Kalseru when she wakes up and then figure out a plan to deal with the ones that hurt her if their still lurking around.

As much as this heated mood from Sala made him want to distance himself from her as far as possible he went ahead to try and be the voice of reason before she did anything reckless.

Coordinan: I know your strong though it would be nice if we don't have another possible incident so soon from you rushing off to kill them all.

He tilted his head towards the resting Dragonkin in his arm, silently indicating to her that this could happen to her next.

@ShihouxAdventure

-Sala exhales gruffly as she turns her head to him-

Sala: ...The only one you need point your gaze of concern towards is my sister...
-With that, she storms off towards the direction they came from. Doesn't seem like words are enough to stop her right now, Dragon's Fury has taken hold..
The others soon come out to investigate when they felt the surge of power, all tending to Kalseru and Coordinan-

Sciz: D: Aw, sister.. How could they do this to you..

Harane: Those fools..! To think they're still around..!

Doryu: ..Sala is not just my sister, but my commander. If no one else, I have to help her as well-!

Goliath: Now do not be hasty, my son. They are still Noir Knights, dragonsbane is still their greatest weapon against us..

Cellal: Even so.. They hurt one of our own. We cannot just take this lying down, father..

Coordinan wasn't fazed by Sala's response as much as he thought he would. He would've preferred if she did listen to him, but at the same time it made since that she wouldn't take his words to heart since out of all the members of this family that are present now she's the only one that he hasn't had to pleasure to bond with in a way. Mana quickly comes zipping in while adding onto the disarray of emotions as she examines Kalseru.
.
Mana: I-Is my little girl okay!? WAIT..she's breathing fine, her pulse is..normal, and she's not bleeding out. *phew* Oh thank goodness she's not in any danger, now..WHO'S EYE AM I POKING OUT!

Coordinan starts to develop a headache from all of the family members different responses to this predicament while also trying to figure out on what to do next.

Coordinan: AHHH, all of you are making my head hurt. Look..if it makes any of you feel better I'll go help Sala deal with the Knights since I'm not automatically affected by their equipment, the rest of you can keep an eye on Kalseru for me while I'm gone. That includes you too, Mana.

Mana struggles to come up with a answer for why she should come along before giving up in the end.

@ShihouxAdventure

Goliath: If I may, I would much rather no one go to fight them. You, and especially my children.. :( But they are grown, there is not much that I can say to change their minds. Including yours, Coordinan. If you want to go fight, I will not stop you. But.. Though dragonbane will not affect you, exercise caution; they, especially the captains, are no pushovers..

-With that in mind, they see him off. Going back the area, it doesn't take Coordinan long to spot the fight. Some bodies of the knights were littered on the ground next to broken trees, and a group had Sala surrounded, but still visibly shaking from her strength-

Knight: W-w-we got you, now!! D:' Y-you won't-

Sala: *snarls at him, making him soil his armor*

Knight: T^T Stoooop!

Sala: H-had it not have b-been for the d-dragonsbane, y-you'd all be dead... >:(

Garon: We meet again, Sala.. I wondered if you still lived.

-This may be a good time to jump in-

Coordinan: SALA, if you still have any commen sense in that head of yours then I would shut my eyes right about now!

After making his presence known he pulls his goggles over his eyes and threw a flash bang into the crowd before rushing in to bonk any knight that didn't listen to his words from earlier with a bat that instantly ejected from his bag and into his hand.

@ShihouxAdventure

-She shuts them just as the flashbang goes off. Fortunately, most Noir knights are mainly all talk/muscle. None too bright. So Coordinan is able to take most of them out, no problem. ...Almost all of them.
Garon, the captain, covered his eyes as well and waited for him to get close. When the time was right, he throws one of his strong punches, similiar to how he did with another certain intruder at their castle.
Luckily Sala was there to shield Coordinan from some of the attack, but they have both taken a bit of damage from the force-

Garon: ...And I thought you came alone.
Sala: S-so did I.. *Looks to Coordinan* What are you doing here?? This is not a safe place to be right now..!

Garon: As much as I wanted another rematch with you, Sala, I'd be glad to take on your magician friend first since he wants to play hero. Unless you play underhanded like my unit did in his artow attack.

Sala: W-why you-!!

Garon: What say you, magician?

Coordinan: Ahh..that stings, fine by me! I would rather knock a few teeth out of the guy that shot that arrow at my wi-..companion, but if beating you down is the quickest way to get this one *points at Sala* back home safe and sound then I'm all in!

He blushes a little at the word that almost slipped from his tongue as he picks himself up and off of his protector while grabbing his bat again, popping a few bones, and charging back into the fight.

@ShihouxAdventure

Garon: So she means that much to you, huh?

Sala: H-he means my sister. I am but a companion in arms.
Garon: ...I see.

-Garon walks towards Coordinan as he charges him with his bat. He takes a stance, digging his feet into the ground-

Garon: For the record, I too know what it's like to have a "companion" being hurt. This anger I know all too well. ...However..

-He draws back his powerful fist and throws his punch!-

He didn't think this all the way through so he missed his moment to dodge and used the second best option which was to block the punch instead while holding the bat firmly with both of his hands, the impact sends him sliding back to almost where he started off and leaving a noticeable dent in his weapon of choice.

Coordinan: Aww..come on, what is this crazy nonsense? Aren't you guys supposed to be human!?

He unequipped his bat by placing it back into his bag and keeps his guard up while thinking up whatever his next plan of attack may be as he also takes into mind that he still has his revolver near his hip.

@ShihouxAdventure

Garon: Of course we're human. You just haven't been eating your vegetables, seems like. *exhales sharply* You're the third human who's raised his hand against me. And like the others, still not impressed, just annoyed.

Sala: Tch, boasting again I s-see..

Garon: Just stating facts. Now come on, magician! Surely that's not all the cheap tricks you had!

-The captain gets into another stance, almost as if he's saying 'bring it on'. The one that shot Kalseru stands behind him. ( Of course he would. Coward. )-

Coordinan: Oh don't worry, I've got a lot of things in my bag of tricks for you to feast your eyes on. This next one will leave you off with a-

As quick as possible Coordinan pulls out two grenades and tossed them high above his enemies head, before they could get a chance to possibly catch or swat them away he uses the remaining bullets in his revolver to get a shot in on one of the grenades and sets them off to explode right in their face.

Coordinan: Bang..

@ShihouxAdventure

-The explosion causes Garon to stumble forward, while for the grunt it blows him over, causing him to get knocked out cold-

Garon: You fool, it's just magic! You've seen how a Dragonkin's power is, and THIS FELLS YOU!? >:0

-Enraged, he picks up the unconcious knight, and hurls him at Coordinan!-

Coordinan rolls out the way and aims his revolver at Garon, but as he pulls the trigger a click can be heard signaling that he was out ammo.

Coordinan: Shot

In a panic to switch out to something else he gets rid of that weapon and digs through his bag once more, the clock was ticking though he couldn't help but to think real hard on what to choose next without wasting more ammunition, resources, or damaging himself real bad in the process.

@ShihouxAdventure

-As Coordinan reached for a new weapon, Garon sighs as he walks over to him, forcefully grabbing him by the back of his neck-

Garon: Enough. I don't want to do this, but you're not really leaving me with a lot of options. Now- *HURK!*

-Suddenly, Sala decks Garon, making him release Coordinan, knocking him backwards! She stands up, a bit wobbly, but unmoving-

Sala: "No options?" Just release him! He protected the woman who is to be his wife, and you treat him as though he's slaughtered a village! >:o

Garon: *Rubs jaw* You act as though you don't remember what that sister of yours did! Or rather you choose to forget! >:o

Sala: I haven't forgotten, darn you! >o<
Garon: Does he even know? Did you tell him!? Or did you let him just be whisked away by her allure!? Now both of you stand aside, or surrender yourself, Sala!
-The tension is pretty thick. It seems as though something happened with Kalseru that they both know about. What does Coordinan do?-

Coordinan: If this thing you two are mentioning has anything to do with Kalseru's powers then don't bother giving me a full on explanation about it, I've been with her for quite some time now so at this point I don't see a point in me knowing what terrible thing she may have done in the past. I know what type of person she was then and now, if I want to know more than I don't have a problem in hearing the story from her perspective.

Thanks to Sala intervention he had time to pull out his next choices which was a almost triangle shaped shield and a empty handle with weird writing and two ends which looked like it belong to a sword. He got into a stance with his shield up and handle pointing in the direction of Garon as the writing on it glowed blue and from one end came out a blue energy saber.

Coordinan: Now I've got a better question, what are you and your group doing out here? Came to kill and capture some Dragonkins?

@ShihouxAdventure

Garon: Peh, figures. You're too blind to see the real threat.
If you must know, yes. Noir Knights hunt Dragonkin, that includes anywhere.

Sala: You won't g-get my family, Garon! >:O S-so long as I breathe, you will not!! *Stands again, bulking up*

Garon: .-. S-shoot, I forgot you had some resistance... But I do not fear you. You or the magician! I'll take you both on!

-Garon charges them, Sala getting into a deadlock with him! Garon pushes her back some, due to the dragonsbane armor/weapons littered across the ground. But since he's distracted, now may be a good chance to get a solid hit in!-

Coordinan comes rushing in from the two's flank and charges into Garon's side with his shield as hard as he could before gaining his footing and continuing his assault onto him.

Coordinan: I don't take to kindly to you hunting! My! PEOPLE!!

He combos him with his sword and shield, giving him some nice bashes to the face with the shield while simultaneously chipping at his armor with the sword before wanting to end it all off with a upper cut from his shield.

@ShihouxAdventure

-With him not focusing on Coordinan, Garon is hurt badly by his attacks!
Sala then lifts the knight, and chucks him as hard as she can back into the woods! She roars in his direction as loud as she can before breathing heavily. Garon looks worse for wear, and doesn't look like he'll be getting back up any time soon..
Sala then picks a nearby sword, despite it being dragonsbane, and walks towards his body-

Sala: N-no more hunting u-us.. No MORE... You w-will PERISH!

-Just as she's about to do the deed, Levan steps in, grabbing her arm-

Levan: ...Seems like you two quite the number on my old colleagues.
Sala: Y-you.. How did you find-

Levan: Please. His spouse, your sister gets injured, and then you disappear? Wasn't that hard to follow the bloodlust trail. Kalseru has woken up, she's asking about you two. As well as a man named Dalk.

Coordinan drops his stuff and bends over while using he's knees to keep himself from falling over from the exhaustion of moving like he was. He was happy to know Kalseru was back on her feet and was looking forward to resting in her arms again, but right now he had some questions to ask.

Coordinan: Ah..I taste blood in the back of my throat, *inhales deeply* okay..who are you and who in this universe is Dalk??

@ShihouxAdventure

-The long-haired man takes a bow-

Levan: I am Levan, a Dragon Knight. ..But I was formely a Noir Knight. A captain, actually. One of the best. -3- *flicks hair* You and the lovely lady there just beat up my colleague. I'm not certain on how to feel about that.

Sala: ..How many times must I repeat myself? Do not call me that. That's for more prissy women. <.< ...And Dalk is my brother. Our brother. But he was off adventuring the last I heard. Why is he back?

Levan: Who knows? But if you're done here, let us return. It's not nice to keep a woman waiting.

-Levan leads them back to Kalseru's room, where everyone is, making sure she's ok. She's doing some deep stretches when they arrive-

Kalseru: Coordinan! You've returned! A-are you ok?? D:

As Kalseru was doing her stretches Mana was following her lead as well before stopping so she could check up on Coordinan when he came into the room.

Coordinan: Y-Yeah I'm fine, I'm just tired. Your sister really helped me out back there by looking out for me whenever I was in a jam, like now for instance.

Coordinan was leaning against Sala to keep himself from falling onto the ground, he's been doing this ever since they left their battlefield.
.
Coordinan: I'm thrilled to see you back on your feet again, you had me worried there for a while.

Mana: And It's good to have you still intact, now..what did you lose this time?

Coordinan: Just a bat, grenades, and some ammunition for that revolver.

Mana: Hmmm, that's not so bad compared to most of your big time confrontations.

@ShihouxAdventure
Sala: He held his own, even knocked down a good many knights. *gently pats his back* Good work.

-Kalseru sighs in relief as she goes to his side, wrapping him in a warm embrace-

Kalseru: And here I thought I was strong enough to protect us both.. It seems I'm just as vulnerable to dragonsbane.. Thank you for protecting me always, Coordinan. u-u

???: Sister, whenever you go out, you must be always surveying the area. Never let your guard down, even in times of peace.

-The voice comes from a young man sitting in Kalseru's window seal, who then makes his way to her. This must be the one Levan was talking about: Dalk. He has darker skin like his father, with dark red hair and piercing yellow eyes. He looks battle worn, but strong, with his cloak wrapped around him-

Dalk: We lost our mother, we need not lose another one. Especially to those scum Noir Knights.. *holds her arm in concern*

Kalseru: ..Y-you're right. I am sorry to worry you, brother.

The feeling of having Kalseru keep him as close as possible with her embrace felt like the greatest reward ever after what he went through with the Noir Knights, at this moment he would arguably say that this was better than their massage session together as he does his best to wrap his arms around her as well while melting into her arms.

Coordinan: You should know me by now, I'll always be close by to protect you even if you may not need me to do so. Next time I'm sure you'll be able to show everyone what you're really capable of.

He was surprised by the new voice of Dalk as he faced around to get a better view of him.

Coordinan: So your Dalk, this is the first time I've heard of you. I've always thought that Kalseru here had six siblings, it's nice to meet you and from what I can gather you must be an adventurer like me.

Mana: Like you? I don't know about that, for one he is way more handsome compared to you.

Coordinan just groans as an annoyed expression made an appearance on his face thanks to Mana.

@ShihouxAdventure

Dalk: And you are Coordinan. I only heard of you when I cam by for a visit. Kalseru thinks highly of you, so I, too will extend my hand in friendship. Though I will say to be careful as well. It isn't just here, but other places have Noir Knights.

Goliath: How troubling.. :c

Dalk: Rest easy, father. Most places have been snuffed, thanks to humans and Dragonkin joining together. The captains are the main threat, they are very tough.

Levan: Well now you're just being flattering. ^-^

Kalseru: Eh-heh.. ^^' Be that as it may, we will prevail.
Harane: ..Let's hope so.
Kalseru: Do not worry, Harane. ^^ But we should be happy! Dalk has returned, and Coordinan and Sala have both made it back safely.

Sala: True. Though your lover may need to get bandaged up. Garon packs a lot of power behind his punches.

Coordinan: Why would I need to get bandaged out of all people, you took his hits more head on then I did. *covers mouth before coughing*

He didn't think much of his sore chest and ribs from when Garon hit both him and Sala at the same time as he goes about softly rubbing those areas, compared to Sala he didn't think he really needed any kind of treatment at the moment.

@ShihouxAdventure

Sala: Even under the effects of Dragonsbane, I've built some resistance to it, as well as hardening my body to attacks. And my body was not pierced by a weapon, I will be fine. >:) You on the other hand.. *pats his head* Need to be tended to.
Kalseru: I can, if you want! :o
Harane: Hehe... >:)
Doryu: Wait until Ju-Long hears of this! You taking on Noir Knights?? Amazing! ^o^

Coordinan: You make a solid point, alright fine I'll let Kalseru patch me up and then we could somehow spend some time together. Possibly by sharing some stories on what me, Kalseru, and Mana here have been up to while we were gone, Dalk could do the same because I am curious to know what you may have to share.

Coordinan gives in on the idea of refusing and just roles with it, maybe this will be another good time to bond with Kalseru some more alone..unless the rest of the family is going to stay and watch while he tells tries to tell a story with Kalseru's help.

Mana: I'm sure we have some wraps somewhere inside, I'll be back.

Mana dives into the bag as Coordinan slowly leads Kalseru to her bed so the two could have a comfortable spot to sit.

@ShihouxAdventure

Dalk: I could, if you can stomach it.

Kalseru: ...Huh? :'D

Dalk: My travels involve some pretty... messy momets. But I will exchange mine if you do yours.

Goliath: Well it would be interesting to hear what kind of things happened during those two years.
Sciz: I'm up for it if you're telling tales, comrade!

Harane: ..I suppose. I'm not doing anything to not listen, either.
-Kalseru goes to see if she can help Mana with getting bandages, and soon they move to the bed with Coordinan. He has the floor, now. They're all ears!-

Coordinan goes about telling everyone present how the two's travel went, from it's highs to it's lows. They've been to many places that were out of the norm compared to here like floating cities and advanced underground kingdoms, meet different races, explored ancient ruins, found interesting treasures, and made a few enemies. Through there journey Kalseru started to grow more when it came to using her abilities, at first it was just Coordinan defending her as she helped out in minor ways but as she got more control over here powers the roles slowly started to reverse with her being the main power house and him being a support of sorts. Their adventures weren't always filled with sunshine and rainbows and yet they were still able to push through the hardships together thanks to their skills or passion for one another.

Coordinan: That's about everything you all missed as far as I remember.

He finished his story, but wasn't able to tell everything like the things Kalseru did alone since he would have no knowledge of that or some of the two's personal special moments because they would of been to embarrassing to share in a group of this size.

@ShihouxAdventure

-Kalseru then told them about her side of things, sprinkling a few moments of her own time to herself when Coordinan and Mana were busy. It was mostly just her releasing her powers to exhaust herself so she could try to get a better handle of less intensity of her omen dragonic power.
She goes on to explain how it felt to finally get a grip on her powers-

Kalseru: ...After I was sure of it, I demonstrated my powers to these two to guage my control. Mana deemed me worthy.

Sciz: Astounding.. :o Good on you, Kal, you did good. ^-^

Dalk: ..Coordinan seems to be a good motivator.

Sala: Indeed. Kalseru... You are certain you can control your power?

Kalseru: ...Yes. *Looks solemn* ..That past tragedy.. Will never be repeated. *face turns determined*

Mana: I had my work cut out for me, but everything ended on a good note as you can tell. Maybe we can show you all how far she has come in a sparring match if anyone is interested, I would have Coordinan be her partner but~ I doubt she'll take it seriously.

Coordinan: Y-Yeah I'm not taking a Dragonkin punch to the face and walking it off easily compared to if one of you went against her.

Coordinan was curious to know what about what was so bad about this tragedy where Kalseru was in the center of it all, but he chose to ask her about it during a time their alone so he didn't ruin the positive atmosphere everyone is enjoying.

Mana: Alright we shared our story buddy, now it's your turn! *points at Dalk*
