Anthony rose slowly to his feet as he wiped the tears from his eyes, still recovering from the lingering laughter, "Don't be angry, Rider, we aren't laughing at you, you know," he stated lightly as he followed behind Rider, with everyone else naturally trailing after him in a loose formation.
But Rider didn't bother replying; he had already learned that anything he said at this point would only become another source of amusement for them, and he had no intention of feeding their laughter any further.
Anthony shook his head faintly, his expression calm once more, his eyes drifting subtly to the side. Hidden through various concealment methods were several Titans and Vampires, their presence carefully masked, yet completely exposed before Anthony's perception. He didn't need to think or even guess to know that these individuals were guards sent to protect the Storm Brothers and Tiara.
