This was it, this was his chance to prove that not only could he stand harsh climates, but he could also help the people of this word by getting rid of a scourge of the desert. he needed to make a name for himself, making sure that everyone knew that there was someone out there watching their backs, whether they know that it was him or not. But, making a name for yourself in a world filled with many others that are just as useful as you, if not more so, is kind of tough. 

Accepting the invite he had previously peeped from the group finder tool, the defender would walk through the harsh sandstorms, following his mini-map to the destination of the bounty. Finally approaching the other player, Allyn would shake any sand that had clung to him off of his digital person. 

"H-hello citizen! I have come to assist you in ridding the sands of this horrible plague!" Coming a bit closer he'd whisper to her, leaning in just in case someone had wandered near as they spoke, "Um... we are doing the plague bounty, right?"

An embarrassed look would wash over his face as she explained that this was in fact not the bounty related to a different bounty. Leaning back, he’d let out a hearty chuckle, the embarrassment still on his face.

“O-of course, I knew that, I was just testing whether or not you knew!” He had to ham it up, just in case there were other watching, obviously there weren't but he always had to be ready, just in case. “You asked of my powers miss? Well they are none other than the seven heavenly virtues.” Lowering his voice a bit, he’d quickly lean in and say, “Amazing, I know.” Then back away going right back to his previous tone, loud and hearty, “They grant me the powers of Chastity, Abstinence, and Patience! It would be better to show them in action rather than go into explaining them, time is of the essence! Now quickly, explain your powers!”

Waiting anxiously for her to answer, he would shift his attention between her as well as the direction of the bounty, every so often looking past her.

He was nailing this hero thing, he was exactly like the ones on tv. He wished people could see him now, already helping people out.

Looking back up he’d hear the last few words she said as she finished speaking. Uh oh, she was speaking, and he wasn't listening to a word she said, being too lost in his own pride. This wasn't what made a hero, and man was he being a jerk for not acting like a decent human being. But he couldn't let her know he wasn't listening.

Smiling a bit wider as he spoke he would spout out, “Right! Your power will greatly assist in taking down this scourge, I believe that we will both have a healthy synergy with our powers combined. Believe it! Let's proceed forward, and cleanse this evil from the land.”

Bullshitting his way out of the situation, he would run forward, pointing a finger towards the bounties direction. “Follow me, to victory!”

With the conflict resolved by avoiding saying anything related to her powers, he aimed to keep up the farce that he was in fact a good hero. He'd run forward, eyes locked forward as he came to a halt, sand forming into a humanoid shape before. The bounty had formed clear as day right before him. He had to act quick before it had the opportunity to attack, so, equipping his tome, he would cast the skill abstinence, summoning pure white chains, that wrapped themselves around the bounty as if they had a mind of their own.

With the bounty caught within the chains, it would be tossed to the ground, its strength slowly being sapped away. Dusting his hands away, the defender would let out a victorious chuckle as he looked down on the sand mage.

"That ought to hold em for a while, why don't you let loose on this fellow while you have the time, I'm a Defender of Justice, not an Attacker of evil."

Watching from behind as the utility class beat into the bounty, Virtue would smile a bit. He thought he did pretty good considering it was in the spur of the moment, him chaining it down into the sand and all. But, he'd be pulled back into the fray as his party member spoke out, something about a weakness escaping  from her lips. 

With a nod, he'd hold his tome in one hand, lifting it into the air, the chains that grasped onto the bounty raising it just as the book had been. Walking forward, the defender would look at the bounty as the sand flew through the air. Using his other hand, he would rotate the chains, the bounty caught within them also rotating. Squinting as he inspected the sand mage, his eyes would widen. 

"Hey, I found i-" Clearing his throat after letting his normal, less heavy, tone slip out he'd return it back to the previous tone he had, heroic and manly, "Miss Scholar! I have found the weak point, it is under the robe, there is something wrong with this creatures abdomen! Strike there!" With that said, the sand mage would break free from the chains, sending a whirlwind of sand at the defender, blowing him away. It freed itself from the chains as if they were nothing.

Lying back in the sand as he quietly contemplated what he was going to do for his next move, the sand would continue to rage all around. His attention would be brought back to the fight as scholar offered a health potion to him. It looked weird, like poison, but after assuring him that it was only for aesthetics, the defender would smile a bright smile and gulp it down quickly. "As long as you tell me it's good, I'll believe it." That was a quality that made a good hero, someone that was willing to completely put their trust in their partner,well that's what he thought at least.

Coming to a stand as he wiped his lips clean, Allyn would clasp his fist together. "I'm right as rain! Now, lets put your plan into action." Rushing forward, the defender would activate patience, soaking up the damage the sand mage had sent his way, as if it was nothing. Try as it might, the sand mage's gritty wind was no match for the defenders firm footing. 

As he reached closer and closer to the bounty, Allyn would ball his hand into a fist, opening and extending it to grab the bountys hand, shaking it firmly with a smile. "Pleasure to meet you, friend." With the sand mage's hand in his grip, he would release the skill, a powerful force blowing the sand within a wide area of the defender away as the bounty body flapped helplessly in the wake. The only thing keeping the bounty from being forced back was the grip the defender he had on its hand, anything else not tight enough on its body would be blown clean away, i.e the loose fitting cloak he had.

As the aoe counter faded Allyn would look back back with a confident smile, calling to his partner while the bountys hand was still in his. "He's all yours scholar!"

Scholar

Looking down at the bounty as it slunk to the ground helplessly, the defender would sigh, releasing his grip. With the bounty being on his last legs, Allyn would slowly walk away from the mage, a look of pity on his face as he looked over his shoulder. With it being in the state that it was it, it hardly had any will to fight, if any at all, he couldn't help but feel bad for it. But, these were just pixels, coded within a fantasy reality of some mad man, or woman's, mindscape, who was he to bother feeling anything but angry at the fact that they were stuck here. 

As the shrapnel of his partners wings hit, the bounty bursting into pixels, the look of pity would be replaced with the smile he had previously adorned. "Great work, miss scholar, we defeated this foe with ease." Going to pick up his share of the bounty, he'd look back to her, "I couldn't have done this without you."

After putting the items in his inventory, he would look at the girl once more. "Say, you seem like a plucky young woman, why don't we join forces some other time and take out evil together again, what do you say?"
