"Hey, that joke gets old if it's repeated too many times," Gravis said in seriousness. His dry delivery made the people incredibly confused. Was the intruder annoyed? What did the intruder do? What was happening?

"Oi, bush," Gravis transmitted to the thorny bush. "I am going to walk forward now, and you better not touch me."

fuck am I supposed to prove such a thing?" Gravis asked with annoyance. "I showed you my element. I never initiated an attack. I didn't lie. I gave you information on when and where we talked. What else do you want? Do I also need to tell you about how awkward I acted in front of you? Or how, when you opened the door to the Hunting Guild, you knocked over a hunter? What about that glimmer of understanding in your eyes when I said that I could only accept an equivalent trade? The fuck do you want to hear from me?" Gravis spat one thing
