Ernie laughed soundly when Miles scooped Hestia up. It effectively took the sting out of his words, the way that she was incorperated into their little show. Though they had missed out on most of the action because of getting Hestia, he didn't care. She was safe, and that was the important thing. They all were, save for Miles who was in danger of getting a concussion if he continued. There was a small pang, a wanting to be in the middle of things and learning more, but having Hestia back to yell at them and tease them and argue about favorites with was better than anything, and he was glad that they had been the ones to find her, somehow he thought that she appreciated seeing her two best trainees just now.
"Hit him harder, Hestia..." He cheered as he walked alongside them. "I think he looks like he's enjoying it!"
