Nova
Dey's quick movement catching him off guard, Nova swallowed the yowl of pain that he instinctively was going to let out. Intending to return the favor, Nova turned about to give her a savage kick, when he remembered that they were actually supposed to be friends or something. Besides, Ash didn't seem to notice, and Dey was doing what she was supposed to be doing. Now she is, anyway. "We better be careful, dearest Dey, we might forget that we actually like each other" Nova snarked under his breath, as he connected the harness to the sled with a couple of leather loops that were made for the task.
Walking over to Durandel, whose performance seemed to be laying it on thick, he decided to try and intervene before Ash did something crazy again. "Look fire wolf, you're all the same to me, you are going to pull this sled, or I'll freeze the blood in your veins and stop your heart here and now" Nova threatened, more than aware that he had never done something like that. It was actually rather a dark threat, he probably should have toned it back a bit. Freeze a Cancius' heart? What kind of rubbish is that? As Ash was not looking his direction, Nova's face did not match the harshness of his words, and instead he calmly motioned for Durandel to just do what he was asked to do. Ash was too unpredictable, and unless they wanted to go into another sinkhole, they should just act nice, and ditch her at the first fork in the road.
"You think we can lock these two scum in your gem cave over night? Might give 'em time to cool off before they get to the rest of the Dimitrios" Nova said to Ash as he waited for Durandel to saddle up.
