Leo sighed, looking at his side towards the fireplace for a while to thought it through. This is one of those times that he wished he could be more animated, more honest...more human.
With more feelings. He wish what he's about to do is not just because to calm her down.
Stepping nearer to the ice maiden, Leo was still facing the fire, and after a moment of contemplation, finally turned his attention to Rayl. He stared into her eyes for a while, never once blinking as he seemed to be searching for something inside her soul...
"..THIS medicine."
The artist leaned over her for a moment, pausing to get rid of any doubts inside his head, then closing their distance before lightly touching his lips against hers. It lasted for only a while, because Leo pulled back, in concern of her discomfiture or such.
"...What can I do? To help."

Rayl sighed, looking down; then look at Leo with a curious gaze. She watches Leo's action who took a couple of steps toward her. She watches his actions well, she is curious and confused on what is he going to do; when his gaze were directed at the fireplace. "What medicine, Leo?" she let out softly.
She paused from saying anything when Leo look at her, as if seeking something from her inner-thoughts, from her soul. She gulped nervously when Leo leaned on her, she remembered the last time Leo leaned on her; and she have a thought of that event will happen again.
And so it did, Leo leaned; as both their lips were connected. Rayl closes her eyes, being new to this kind of affectionate feelings towards the opposite sex; she only lingered at his touch. She was about to kiss back but paused when Leo pulled away.
She opened her eyes slowly and look at Leo; she was happy, glad... and content. Its as if the half piece of her life was found.
She sighed and nodded. "Just be the same Leo... that is all," she let out as she looked away, feeling her cheeks getting warm.

Leo was honestly stunned at her answer. He took a while to blink and wonder if being himself is anything but being helpful, because that fact seriously isn't possible in his head. "Well..." he sighed, bringing up a hand to scratch the nape of his neck, "..Okay, if you say so."
Then, a moment of silence lingered in the atmosphere, accompanied by awkwardness. At this, Leo hurriedly took the clothes that Rayl was holding, "Let me help you put that back.." Of course that task he just took wasn't possible since he didn't even know where she even get the clothes from, but he turned around and climbed up the stairs anyway.
Anywhere is fine right now to escape the awkwardness, he concluded in his mind. For whatever reason the awkwardness comes from, he has no idea.

It has been awhile since you have updated the assassin girl whom just lives a mile away from the town to help aid the said place. And yet, a mid thirty man is impatient that the girl did not appear.
With less hope made by some villagers, he quickly dashed his way at where the girl resides. Wanting to knock some conscious. The guy with a muscles and hairy stuffs made its way at the big house. It's a mile away distance and if walking, it would do no good to his health. So he needed the ski machine to just go here, and of course, bringing his eldest son.
"Son, we're here already... we might as well talk to the girl," the old man grumpy said, though truly, he was but a good man. He was just afraid of this rich old pathetic guy dooming their life into their dreaded nightmare.
A guy, in his mid-twenties looked at the plain house with a boredom look. He wanted nothing but to be in a warm place together with his women. A dang, he should've been in his room rather than in cold at this place.
He doesn't know if that girl would be some ugly chic who wants nothing but to be alone. "Yea yea pops... We're going," he lazily answered back as he lead the way at the house. He knocks a few times and waited for someone to open. He raised an eyebrow, his auburn eyes looked boredly at the place. He plays with his brown mane as he looks at his father who waited patiently now.
''Pops, please do remind me, why do we have to be here again?" he asked nonchalantly as he leaned at the door frame.

Though inside one of the rooms upstairs, folding the clothes neatly and putting it on a bed there, his ears picked up the sound of a knock downstairs. At this, the lad stood up from sitting on the bed, walked out of the room and stood on top of the stairs.
"More children seeking refuge..?" he dryly asks, slowly climbing down the stairs to reach Rayl. Leo turned to look at her for a short while, wondering if he should answer the door or let the owner of the house do it.

Rayl quirked an eyebrow when Leo, himself, gets the blanket and extra clothes and placed it on the guest room. She looks confused at the awkward event awhile ago.
She sighed heavily as she looks down at the floor. She looked at the mask placed on the table and get it. She forgot to have a checked on that mission. She sighed mushroom-ly and narrowed her eyes a bit, glaring at the fireplace that emits heat.
She yawned quietly as she gaze forward the fireplace, but she suddenly turned towards the door; hearing knocks on it. She looks at Leo whom have just striding down the stairs. "I'll go get it." she let out quietly as she strides her way at the door.
She saw it coming, the former owner of this house have come to this place to asked if the mission have completed. She opens the door and looked blankly when she saw a guy together with the former owner of the house. She nodded in acknowledgment when she saw the old man. "I apologize... I haven't started my mission yet..." she let out as she saw Leo trying to look who's her visitor.

The old man grumbled in annoyance at his son, how he wondered how his son grown to be like so.... sex drive machine? He shook his head and ignored the question of his son.
He sighed and lean firnly at the door, suddenly surprised and stumbled a bit as the door opens. He looked surprised to see a girll clad in black.
His eyes turned into hearts as he looked at the girl, he exclaimed as he went closely at the girl whom apologize at the old man beside him. He looked at his old man and blinked confusedly. "Is he the ... is she the assassin?!?!" he blurted out surprised.
He shook his head, suddenly flinging his arm at the girl. "Don't worry babe! I'll go assassinate that rich of an old guy!" he exclaimed.
The old man was ticked off at his son, suddenly pulling the poor boy's collar; pulling the boy away from the girl. "I'm sorry to my insolent, fool son. I'm just checking if you have finished your mission." he answered as he nodded in acknowledgment. "Very well then, I still do hope you shall continue your mission, girl." he added, suddenly looking at the boy in the house.
"And who is that boy? Your visitor?" he asked.
"Ack!" he let out, being pulled away from the girl. "Oyaji! Why did you do that?!" he growled, suddenly looking at the boy inside the house.

Leo was of course downright curious who might be the visitor, so he strides down the stairs faster. He watches from the base of the stairs at Rayl opening the door, and by the voices he heard, his mind was already formulating a possible theory on who it might be standing outside and their connection to Rayl.
He didn't noticed he was unconsciously walking towards the door as he was busy thinking, probably because his body is driven by curiosity as well.
Leo only woke up from his chain of thoughts when he could feel someone's watching him, so he looked up to see a couple of men at the doorstep, the older man seeming surprised at the artist's absence inside the house. At this, Leo raises up a hand in defense.
"I-I'm merely seeking refuge...from the cold weather," he stuttered at first, totally unprepared to even say anything, "Plus, Rayl's a friend." He continued more easily, patting the assassin on her shoulder with a small smile.
He didn't hear their conversation before due to the buzz in his mind preventing almost anything from entering his ears, but just by looking at the old man's eyes and expression, along with the mentioning of a mission Rayl was talking about earlier, Leo was finally able to linked the clues together and had perfectly guess the whole reason of why these two men are even here.
"Ah..." he nodded, upon achieving that understanding, and just as quickly realizing he's obstructing Rayl's line of work. "O-oh! I.. I'm very sorry, that she haven't finished her assignment. She was nursing me back to health, so I stole her time. My deepest apology.." Leo bowed his head slightly at the men, then turns to Rayl.
"I apologize to you too."

Rayl glared daggers at the unknown guy whom fling his arm freely on her shoulder. She wanted to get rid of the guy, she was irked at his boast attitude; wanting to freeze the guy over.
But thankfully, the old man is kind enough to pull away the guy; she appreciated the old man. "I will do my mission, more or less later." she answered as Leo, whom is just beside her suddenly apologized.
She furrowed her eyebrows, "No need to apologize, Leo." she blurted out as she turned towards the old man. "If you may, please do enter the house. A strong blizzard shall occur not more than minutes. I would like to wait for my moment of mission to be done not until I see all of my visitors were fine." that was a long, gratitude speech made by Rayl; surprisingly for herself, she is improving more.
She made a space for the two men to enter her house.

The old man, let's just name him as Laslo, nodded gratefully as he walked towards the house. Though, he frowned looking at his son; naming him as Chikhan, he wasn't sure if his son would stay together with a girl in this state. He knows the girl, Rayl, could protect herself; but she's still a girl.
As he entered the room, he looked at Leo whom seems to have something special together with Rayl. He checked the lad, and grunted, suddenly looking at Rayl. "When do you think the blizzard will die out?" he asked as Rayl lead them at the entertainment room; a fireplace emits a warm feeling in the place.
Chikhan smirks and winks at Rayl as he stood beside the girl, checking her. He wanted to make a move on her, seeming that this girl is not those whom he always make a move on. She's more.... standoffish.
He doesn't care at the lad beside her, it seems that he's nothing to her but a friend afterall. He coughed fakely just to get her attention. "So, pretty lady.... what's your name? And how come a girl like you lived here and do manly stuffs?" I know... lame comments and statements that makes anyone would fume angrily. He's a masochists who thinks that man are highly and mighty.

Rayl moved away from the door as she guided the men from the entertainment room; the warm fuzy feeling made Rayl a bit awkward. Though she ignored the feeling, knowing it would made questions by the three guys inside the house.
She looked over at the old man and nodded as she looked at the blizzard. "It will probably last long until 5 hours or so." she answered, though.... how did she know when? It's her secret. No duh! Really! She's an ice controller and she can control even the weather of this blizzard! She just felt like it being a lazy girl whom likes to at least rest for awhile.
As the young guy, Laslo's son questioned her name; she answer. "I'm Rayl-" just as she was about to continue telling about her mission. She suddenly felt discriminated by this imbecile of a guy who seems to think of himself as a god... a masochistic... and she really didn't like the fact that this guy is interfering what she lives for.
Oh wait... scratch the 'resting for awhile'. She feels like she wanted to kill or punished this stranger whom thinks of her as a weakling.

Leo honestly felt...like an insignificant stranger, in the presence of these two men. Compared to them, he just fits like the lean weakling of the group, and he truly is one actually. He stepped back and made way for them to enter the house when Rayl gave permission for them to.
While walking with them near the fireplace, he overheard the statement said by the old man's son. Leo was slightly disturbed by the guy's opinion, so he glanced at him, but then his attention was driven right at Rayl, considering how sour her face had contorted into.
So he's not alone in being upset.
"It would do you good if you respect my friend here and her work. This is what she's good at, I don't see you going off assassinating people. You require HER help, so please by all means, RESPECT HER." Leo was surprised at how firm his voice sounded as he said exactly what he's thinking. Heck, he's shocked how fast the words in his mind got delivered to his tongue. "Chauvinist..." he muttered with a sideways glare at Chikhan.
A person with a prejudiced belief in the superiority of their own kind is one thing, but annoying a friend is another much more sensitive issue to Leo. He's not that loyal, nor that protective, but comments like what the guy just said could just blow his fuse.

Chikhan cornered his eyes at this cowardly-looking boy, clenching his teeth as his fists shakes in rage. 'Who is this guy lecturing him about respect? Women are merely toys for men to have fun with, they don't hold a significant role in this world!' In moments, he couldn't hold his temper anymore when he heard the boy's muttering. "Why you!!"
"Son! Get a hold of yourself!" Laslo roared, but his son doesn't even seem to hear him, much less reacted to his order.
Then, Chikhan launched himself to the guy, holding Leo by the collars and pushed the lad right at the wall nearby, banging the boy's head against the wall. "Who are YOU to talk to me like that, huh?!" He yelled down at Leo, banging the lad against the wall again to make him listen.
"See here, you little prick..." Chikhan lowered his voice in a threatening tone so only he and Leo could hear, "That chick, will be mine. She will bow down to me, just so I could screw her.. She will be begging for me... She's a woman, that's what they do."

In all that happens, Leo had already expected it, even the head-banging on the wall. He's just so used by all that bullying he had gone through before, it didn't even hurt nor surprise him much. That's why his face looks so calm during the beating Chikhan is giving him.
"I'm a pursuer of knowledge. You are reacting like this because you refuse to reason things calmly in your head, and focuses to only show off your strength and testosterone to Rayl there. Am I correct?" Leo managed to say with an even calmer expression when Chikhan asked him of who he is to talk to him like that. Apparently, like expected, that boosts the guy's anger to further bang Leo against the wall violently.
The stone wall behind Leo have made the slightest crack by the strong continuous battering, and the sting Leo felt behind his head doesn't even hurt as much as what Chikhan whispered to him...
That, definitely had burst Leo's patience limit. And this almost never happens in his lifetime.
"You despicable GIT!" Bringing his hands up in between Chikhan's arms that's holding his shirt collar, Leo's thin-to-the-bones hands actually managed to push the guy off of him. This gesture had made the guy stepped back a few feet.
"Don't you ever lay a hand on her, or so help me, I will stick a nuclear bomb to your damn erectile organ and laugh at your loss of copulation." Leo has never been that pissed off for a long while, even his tone of voice sounds icy and menacing that it didn't even sound like himself. His eyes are burning by how ominous it seemed, glowering at this guy dangerously.
This is what happens if someone managed to break his fuse. His inner Leo awakens, like a lion roaring after a decade of sleep has been disturbed.

Rayl wanted to shout at how the ego of this new guy flatter himself so much; he wanted to strike him or two, but she was not that rude. She still respect the former owner of this house whom happen to be the father of this ego flattery, pervert guy.
She stayed calm, but suddenly; the guy suddenly threatened Leo. Uh no... that's below the belt! Both guys have been on their necks with each other; she furrowed her eyebrows as she could not hear every thing. Hear what Chikhan have said to Leo, but as glance at Leo; he seems to flared up at what Chikhan have told him. Suddenly fighting back, but not that strong.
She was surprise to say anything, she could not comprehend what made Leo pissed off like this. And she haven't seen a pissed Leo before, he was just an emotionless, laid back guy. But as she look at him now, his patience were off limits.
As the surrounding were in an awkward thick presence, she needed to step behind these two. She don't know what will happen... but she knew Leo would be really doing what he probably say. A confused gaze was landed on her, gazing at Leo; she walked and stop until she was between the two.
"If the two of you won't stop doing some reckless things..." she started as she held a worried look at Leo. "I'll throw the two of you out here," she firmly added, but the two won't budge, she glared at Chikhan. "Leave him be!" she raises her voice, so the guy would clearly get what she means. She wanted him to back off from Leo and would do nothing on him.
But Chikhan already made a damage, the small, tiny crater is obvious from the wall. She gently holds Leo's arm, pulling it away from Chikhan. "Calm down, Leo..." she muttered as her other hand went at his chest, slowly pushing him away.
She wanted to do actions, but she will just have to wait, not until someone or something happened. She wanted to stay as calm as ever, seeing that the two guy were in their bad vibes.
