H-Hey, no need to be so serious! I mean, I probably won't do that again because what are the chances to begin with, right?

[Don't do that?? While she know what those words mean, she doesn't understand it. If Iona Oakes has the capability to protect, she'll throw herself into the role of protector with gusto (because she wasn't able to do it before; she was useless, helpless, and...)

Oren leans down to pat Iona on the head. Mostly to snap her out of her thoughts and to get the attention of both of them.]

Ah... Yeah. We shouldn't be out here in the open any longer, should we? Wanna go back to my place or is there somewhere nearby we can duck into?
