Darin, on the other hand, has just been struck with that euphoria that comes just after a surge of adrenaline. He's outright laughing, because man, that was one hell of a rush!

He drapes himself and allows himself to be carried by Valefor until they're just above the ground. He dislodges himself from Valefor's grasp and drops easily to his feet, moving aside so Valefor can land.

"Hahaha...I'm sorry, Yuna. It's just...a force of habit. I don't want to chance losing my dao. It's my father's masterpiece. He made it special for me before I left Kenmore on my journey. I've never seen this level of technique from him."

He holds up his dao, the black almost mirror like blade catching the sun. It almost looks like it's been worked from obsidian, but it's clearly metal and not stone. The edge glints like silver. It's truly an impressive weapon.

"I've tried to figure out how he made it but...I guess I'm just not at his level yet. It's my prized possession."
