As the Nevadian closed in on the others, he tilted his head quizzically at what seemed to be transpiring. It brought him to a dead halt.
Grinthorn seemed to be aiding Parsley? If Held hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would scarcely have believed it, but the truth was manifest with this stage of the Shingan. Sakin's seal had been undone--at least a portion of it.
....Truth seemed to elude Sakin however. He seemed none the wiser, and very annoyed at the Saiyan Princess, and the Nevadian himself.
Held opened his mouth, beginning to protest before falling silent. Grinthorn would not have turned on Sakin without something in it for himself, and Held's understanding on the stipulations of the Eternal Dragon's station was such that acting as he wished in this matter was unlikely.
There had to be some bargain at play...Not to mention, it seemed that they needed him, for now. Even Parsleys magic seemed to be blunted against Sakin, somehow.
Held shrugged sheepishly at Sakin, playing the role of antagonist before pointing the tip of his Golden Spear at the Angel.
"I guess Angelic magic isn't all it's cracked up to be" he explained simply. "Or, you're just a worse hand at it than I expected. That was far too easy."
