Stolen Stage

The manager quickly shook his head.

"No, not at all! This guy rushed up before I could stop him!"

The manager stepped between Elric and the WStar man, puffing up his chest.

"Impersonating the police is a serious crime, and I'll be reporting this to the police. Get out of my establishment until they arrive to take you to jail."

Ember and the other manager had walked over to join the conversation, and Elric reached over to the girl.

"Ember, can you lend me your ring, please?"

Everyone looked at Elric oddly as he randomly changed the subject.

"Dude? I told you to get out, now leav- SHIT!"

After equipping Ember's rings, Elric cocked his arm back like he was about to punch the manager in the face. The man quickly ducked away, hiding behind the WSar man.

"Assault! This guy is trying to assault me now!"

"Eh? I was just stretching my shoulder, why are you overreacting?"

Elric let his hand fall back down to his side, a grin on his face.
