Tanistheflame asked you: Protect
"Leave her alone!" he'd warned her about staying outside too long when she visited. There were bad people in Motorcity just like there were good people. He knew that better than anyone. The worry only started when Tanis didn't show upon time, worrying the little Troll enough to go looking for her, hoping that nothing bad had happened.
Unfortunately that hope was a futile one. Some of the bad people found her. They hadn't hurt her but were just heckling her. Having had paint thrown on him twice before, Darius snarled angrily at the sight and immediately rushed over, putting himself between Tanis and the two men heckling her. This probably would have just led to both of them getting hurt... if not for the Burner symbol emblazoned on his shirt.
That seemed to be enough to deter the bullies. They scoffed and left, not willing to bother with the situation anymore. Darius sighs, rather surprised that it had worked, and turned. Tears. She was crying. Aww no... no no. Not that.
"Tanis..." frowning, the troll quietly hugs his friend. "It's ok, Tanis..."
"It's ok."
