[ME] The Ride is Worth the Fall

I'm still comparing your past to my future

Having been formally introduced to the not imaginary ghost of Nikandr Volkov, Danta has only a few more moments to enjoy easy company and strong liquor before his name is indeed called and he departs with a cheer and a restless laugh. He isn't gone for long though, as it happens, though it's the longest few seconds of his life on the back of a hydra. And when the dust settles, wouldn't you know it? He comes out victorious.

So with his shiny new belt buckle gleaming in the light and his hat safely back upon his head, Danta's swagger is as close to a real cowpoke's as it's ever going to get - mainly because he's actually had to use his muscles to keep himself upright on the hydra's back. Either way, he doesn't bother to use those muscles again as he gets into the stands; he can see Asta still sitting with Niki, opting to dart! his way through the crowd until he reaches them again.

"Did you see?" He beams, breathless with exertion and delight.
