[ Crow's heart is beating hard against his chest. He watches as the mage makes the incision, and from the small cut, he jerks expecting some explosion. However, there's only a hiss for Kadoc and slow beading from the slash.

And then....came the noise!

It's a slow, agonizing sound that lingers for a good few minutes since Kadoc's hand inflated to such a large size, so its deflation takes long. Crow tries to hold a straight face, but it becomes increasingly difficult towards the end. He just turns away from Kadoc and laughs into his hand. He feels bad because he's the cause, but...this is just too funny!

After the air depletes, it seems like Kadoc's hand is back to normal. Crow inspects the cut, and the bleeding already seems to stop. He pats the mage's shoulder sympathetically, knowing he's beyond embarrassed, but there's a bright side.]

At least, no one else was there to witness that!

[Is that supposed to be comforting?!]

But I'm glad everything turned out all right! I actually think I'm starting to feel a little better too!

[Uh oh.]
