Hidden in the shadows, Goji was crouched low as his eyes narrowed. From a fair distance he watched closely as the scene unfolded. The erratic behavior of the spirits surrounding them setting his nerves abit on edge. With hands rested at the ready by his sides, fingers flexing in readiness. Every muscle in his body was coiled like a spring and prepared for whatever might unfold.
On the way in his instincts told him that the situation was tense, more so than either of them likely realized to the full extent. The spirits may have seemed docile at first but Goji knew better than to trust appearances. Especially with floating rumors circulating quick through the nearby villages. He'd heard stories of pranks turning deadly. Making him wonder if their attempts at a more tactful approach could provoke rather than calm the situation.
Keeping his focus targeted as he pinpointed every flicker of unaccounted movement. He was ready to jump into action at the first sign of bad news. He knew his role in this, waiting for the moment when his presence would be needed. It was a game of patience often too long for his liking, but he was used to it by now.

"Figures." Goji stood at the edge of the glade with an unimpressed scowl plastered across his face. The spirits were getting riled up to no surprise of his own. It was the kind of chaos that didn’t need much explaining. Especially not when the master of impish behavior was at the root of it's making. From his spot he watched the scene unfold. Altuo's retreat just as in your face as it ever was. The guy always had a flair for the dramatic, wanting to be the center of attention as much as possible. With a drawn out sigh Goji rolled his eyes before hurrying out from the brush.
The spirits shifted their aggravations as he entered the fray from the depths. With a crack of his knuckles his expression hardened on them in return. His voice grizzled as it boomed across the way. "Alright, my turn. Let’s get this over with." Kicking into gear, his skin rippled for a brief moment. Melting away until all that remained was a polished metal of sorts. The shift though not as flashy as his companion's own performance, it didn’t need to be to stand out among greenery. His solid frame reflected the eerie glow of the coalesced souls back at them, his crimson eyes burning with a predatory light.
As soon as he was within reach, one spirit darted towards him at full speed. Striking his chest with a discordant clang but failing to leave so much as a scratch behind. Just barely able catch to his attacker before it had time to escape. With a vice locked grip he squeezed it until its form disintegrated into nothing. And he didn’t stop there, stepping forward into the swarm determined to be done with the whole situation before it escalated any further.
Another lunged in from the left and he met it with a devastating backhand. The force scattering its remains to the winds with no remorse. A third swooped low aiming for his legs but he was ready for them. Thick leather soles stomping down hard and crushing the wailing assailant into an earthy grave. The rest began to swarm, panicked and disorganized, but Goji stood his ground as he prepared himself for the next wave. His steeled body absorbed each attack, nullifying every strike as they came. Any that dared to approach being met with head on brutality. A punch here, a kick there. One by one, falling, until the glade was silent. Watching as the last of the numbers fled the scene for safer shores. He turned towards Altuo, head shaking. "C'mon, let's get out of here. Before you cause any more trouble."
