(Great, because of the Phantom Blood Abridged reference now i can't help imagining Joseph as Zeppeli, italian accent and all)

Two pairs of eyes studied Amilanthior intently after his speech. Red ones filled with emotion and wonder, and blue ones with careful scrutiny and thought. Joseph scanned his face for lies, found none, and seemed to mull over his words for a long time, mumbling to himself before finally looking up with a decisive smile.

"That won't be necessary, lad. I can see you're sincere about wanting to protect my daughter. I see you've developed a good sense for a mate yourself, Zhu-li."

She looked up distractedly. "Oh um, yeah." before bending down again, scribbling furiously in her poetry book. "...star in the night....her guardian, her wolf... Ooh that's sweet!" Asper's words were too good to pass up. Garnet's pen flashed merrily in her fingers.

Joseph turned back to Amilanthior. "While your heart's in the right place lad, are your skills really up to it? Zhu-li's told me much about your combat experience, but i must warn you. You've seen firsthand the type of enemies we ANGELs face everyday. Tigris, Vale the Ripper, Barnes, Drake Agnus." there was a trace of disgust as he named the last man.

"And that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Staying with Zhu-li will certainly cross your path with many more formidable foes. It will be dangerous for you both."
