[The soldiers hazarded the thought that trying to bumrush Ban and Pearl would work out poorly for them. Instead, they retreated across the square, looking to gut it for armaments in the meanwhile and rejoin the battle outside. Ban, running his fingers along his chin, looked to Pearl with a rather stagnated amount of sympathy.]

Mmmm. [Placing his hands on the window frame, Ban snaked his way back into the castle room Pearl found him in, reaching for his bag of loot. He caught Pearl in the corner of his gaze, understanding how she felt all too easily. She couldn't have worn her thoughts with any less subtlety.]

You're a good person~. That's why this kinda stuff bugs you so much.

'Sides-- [With his loot over his shoulder, Ban popped right back out of the castle.]

Wars gets ended by nice folks like you--not freaks like me! [Despite himself, there was a bit of snickering as he slipped that one out.]
