[Zelos had no idea demonic apocalypses could be so...dull.]

[Okay, maybe that was the wrong word for it. But to Zelos, it's felt as though he's done nothing but train, gather supplies and fight demons for the past several months. And what the only village being a complete boondocks and the fact he didn't get along with a lot of the other Sworn- he couldn't help but start to feel a little like he was going nuts from the repetition. Even in Exsilium he had a job, books to read and a roommate to harrass. Not to mention a bed and a shower. This was painful!]

[And unfortunately for the Sworn, Zelos's boredom had a habit of turning on others.]

[So for the people that hang around the Ruby Sanctum, they might be finding themselves to be the victims of pranks and little annoyances. Practicing your fire? It might suddenly flare up a little (never enough to be dangerous- just startling). Sitting under the shade of the tree? You may have to watch out for falling nuts. Set something down and walked away for a bit? Wow, how did it move ten feet into the bush? Or maybe you found your armor has been painted on! Or any other assortment of mostly harmless, but irritating things]

[Or maybe you got lucky and avoided Zelos's pestering. Instead you might just find him sitting by the lake, looking perpetually bored out of his mind.]

[Oh good she's not going to try to climb after him. But wow, is she mad over some acorns. Not even Sheena would get this fired up over something as little as a couple acorns. It's rather..curious]

[He climbs up fully onto his branch, scooting close to the tree again so it can support his weight better and calling down]

Hey, if you're gonna swear at me, at least do it in Common!

[Vas plucks a couple of acorns off a nearby branch and throws them at him.]

You're a pest, Kaneis Major!

[Whoa acorns! One smacks him on the cheek, but it mostly just makes him flinch a little and not show that much pain]

A pest? That's your insult?

That's almost kinda cute!

[She rolls a third acorn between her fingers. Oh, if only the Light would bless her aim and hit him right in the mouth... She tries to bury that thought. It's not becoming of a Vindicator.]

But no less true!

Maybe, maybe.

Though gotta say? If I'm a pest, then you gotta be high strung. I mean seriously! Talk about a reaction!

[Are you sure you don't want to try your luck with shoving it down his throat?]

[She snorts at him and turns to climb back down, only to find that her metal shoes have stripped the bark she used to push herself up. She huffs and makes a rude gesture at him, and then takes off running down the tree's limb. She bounces off it like a springboard, tossing herself into the air-]

[A set of golden wings form at her back, and slow her fall to a slow glide. She sails past him, and she takes the opportunity to hurl her last acorn at him.]

[Oh, he doesn't notice the last acorn even smack him straight in the head- because WINGS]

[GODDAMN GOLDEN WINGS]

[Frankly, they surprise him so much he nearly falls out of the tree. When he shouts, it's clear he's very not happy by this plot twist]

What the hell!?

[A very poorly-hidden, childish, vindictive part of her lights up with delight at his anger and confusion. It's not something she's supposed to enjoy, by any means, but it does feel good. It's the first little victory she's had in entirely too long, however petty it may be.]

[She dusts herself off and straightens her robe, and tries not to smile too much.]

[It sure is a little victory. Zelos is still startled by the wings. Because let's face it, wings are rarely a sign of anything good to him]

[He rubs the part of his head that got smacked. As if remembering, oh yeah, he DID get hit.]

Hey, c'mon! What gives! What's with the wings?
