The old man couldn't help but to shook his head in dismay and in shame, such a rude way to have his son to come here. He should've let the guy at their house alone with those women in his bed. But no, he complied to take the boy here and do nothing but to make the new owner have a problem at this guy.
"take it easy there, boy. We're not in our own house to have a ruckus here." Laslo took a hold of his son's shoulder so the guy would take of notice that he's being persuaded to stop his bulls at the girl.
He looked at the girl apologetically, "I apologize if this knucklehead do damage to your fiend." he answered, as he looks at Leo. Though he was rather confused why a guy like him would protect the girl more. It's not just a friend relationship to do. Oh no, not at all, he knew this at all but remained quiet.
At first, he doesn't want to take his arms off, but Rayl pushed him hardly as he stumbled a bit; and he was taken a back when she raises her voice to him. No one have ever do that on him.
He narrows his eyes, though remained calm. No way was he going to back away, this girl is so hard to get. He looked at Rayl whom have her hand at Leo's chest, he glared daggers at Leo. "Oh come on babe! I didn't do anything at all. That guy over there just suddenly made my temper so hot because of his nonsense things and all." he replied as his father took a hold of him. He shrugged his shoulders and look at Rayl.
"oh dad, don't be... that guy over there should do it." he replied as he wear a smug look at Leo.

Leo's glare is ultimately fixed to this sorry excuse of a human in front of him. Sure he had met a few people exactly as contemptible as the guy, but none had bothered him before, so he didn't really mind. Though, this guy, Chikhan, had stepped across the line.
It surprises Leo, because he didn't even know he HAD a line. Well, until Rayl came.
The fire in his eyes only softens down when the assassin stepped in between them both, at which he took the chance to calm himself and remind what kind of foolishness he just got lost into.
He never generally feel angry often, but there are times when he snapped and anger took control of his mind. That's one of his worst trait too. He can be either unemotional or over-emotional. Though the latter's pretty rare. ...Leo's just strange that way.
The artist alters his attention to Rayl, his face expression completely blank by the time he gazed at her, like how he usually wears his face. "I am," he replied, backing away when Rayl slightly pushed against his chest. His focus is directly towards Rayl, he wouldn't dare to look at Chikhan, in fear of loosing his head again by the sight of it.
He was just about to apologize to the assassin when he heard that guy speaks again. "...You're a waste of time," he uttered to Chikhan, before taking hold of Rayl's hand and leads her to the kitchen, "Excuse us. We'll make some tea for you, so please sit there on the couch."
He mainly said that to the old man, his voice sounded much more pleasant than how he speaks to the son. "He's annoying!" was the first thing he whispered to Rayl the moment they're in the kitchen without the guests hearing them.

Rayl don't know if she would just smack the guy, knowing Leo; he wouldn't do any reckless things that would affect himself. So it really was a big problem, but she really was confused why Leo have gone to be like that.
Looking up at the brown haired guy, she nodded aimlessly as she lets go. She looked at Chikhan and blankly gaze at him, she paid no mind at the guy; seeming that he already hurt Leo.
She looks at Laslo who truly apologize at what Chikhan have been doing, she nodded at him in acknowledgement. Suddenly, Leo took a hold of her hand as he excused both of themselves to prepare some tea.
She blink owlishly as both strides their way at the kitchen. Suddenly, Leo whispered something; making her look dumbly at him. "Uhm... why?" she stupidly let out, realizing it; she shook her head and looked at him.
"Ignore that.... well, what happened awhile ago? Why have you acted like that on that... guy?" she asked curiously as she made her way at the drawer of her kitchenware; getting some teacups. "Is your head aching? I mean, there's a tiny crack on the wall..." she let out, suddenly forgetting the teacups as she made her way at Leo. Raising her hand to check his head.

Leo had almost lost it when Rayl told him to ignore the guy. How can he possibly brush aside that slimy excuse of a man after what Leo heard? Even thinking about it made Leo enraged, but then he was caught off-guard when the assassin brings up about the cracked wall and attempted to examine his head.
"No no, it's alright, I'm fine. Just..." He can't bring himself to say out what he heard Chikhan whispered. He can remember the words perfectly, along with that ugly voice-tone of his, and that disturbed Leo mentally. He didn't even realized he's squinting his eyes close tightly as if something wounded him. The matter is too serious to not discuss, but Leo can't bring himself to tell what he heard.
"Just...please trust me." He grabbed a hold of Rayl's shoulders to deliver the importance of what he's about to say, "Stay away from Chikhan. ..I know you can take care of yourself, but..." His eyes darted away from looking at her, focusing instead of the teacups Rayl pulled out. "But..."
Leo reverted his eyes back to face her, concern is clearly apparent in his blue orbs. He releases Rayl's shoulders, then brings up a hand at the nape of his neck, muttering "...Perhaps what I'm feeling is jealousy."

Rayl was taken aback when Leo hold her shoulders, his sincere voice running through her ears and mind, flowing down from her heart. Why would Leo would be so worried like this? From his actions, she can't help but feel more curious as to why Leo suddenly behave like this.
She sighed, looking at him and nodded; feeling the frustration from his voice. She can't help but do nothing, she was flattered though from his actions. So caring and heartwarming.
"But-" she was stopped just as she was about to asked why? His answer suited her question. Though... Leo being jealous? She was stupefied as she looked at him.
She felt her lips quirk upward, she wanted to laughed. But looking at those concern look. A soft smile plastered on her face. She went closely at Leo, surprising him by hugging him wholly. She buried her face from his chest, hiding her smile. "It's okay... thank you, Leo." she uttered out.

"..I apologize if that sounds creepy for y--" Leo's words were cut off when the assassin unexpectedly lunged a hug towards him. His hands clung in the air awkwardly, blinking in mild astonishment of what's currently happening.
In that moment, time seemed to stop for him. He could feel her breath against his chest as she thanked him, and it felt kind of...warm, for an ice maiden. That made him remember, she's half a human too. What's more is she's a girl, and that made Leo wondered how in the world is he able to twist his way and touch her heart.
...It also made him wonder if she's able to break her way through his awkward shell and attempts to touch his heart. ...If he has any. Whatever the case, this gesture she's currently doing is definitely making that said attempt plausible.
"Y...you're...welcome..." Slowly, he brings down his arms, and after a moment of thought and inner compliance, rests his arms behind Rayl, successfully hugging her back. It felt strange...because usually Rayl would emanate this cold air, so touching her is equal to touch a block of ice.
But now, she just feels so...warm. It boggles his mind on how she did it exactly, probably because of her two different blood, but then again, he didn't care. And for once, Leo felt as though she fits there, in his arms, just right.
"Uhm... Rayl....I think...I--"

"YOU LITTLE SNEAK!" Chikhan bursts at the kitchen door, pointing a finger towards Leo angrily. "Taking advantage of a cold poorly-lit room like this to screw her, like I didn't know!"
Followed behind Chikhan is his father, who looked just as surprised when he caught the pair hugging each other. "What are--"
"See pops!! I TOLD YOU! This guy is no good!" The lad glanced at his father, still pointing at the dumbfounded Leo. He then approached the couple, pulling Rayl away from the embrace forcefully to get her away from Leo.
"It's a good thing I came before he further harasses you, huh girlie?"

Rayl wanted to stay at their position like forever, it's comfortable and it gives her peace. She wanted this to not end, seemingly that the warm feeling engulfing her is comfortable; unlike the feeling she have felt whenever a warm thing surrounds her the weakens her.
But her wished, her hope was stopped and disturb by, when Chikhan suddenly went into the kitchen and rummage both. Suddenly getting her away from Leo's hug, suddenly insulting Leo on harassing her.
Wait, that is enough. She have had enough patience at this guy. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Chikhan whom treated her as if she's a weakling. She growled lowly, pushing Chikhan away from his grasp; Chikhan flew from the wall. Making tiny cracks to see at the wall.
She sighed heavily as she look at the surprised look of the perverted guy. "One, I have been very patience to entertain you here at MY house. Two, you have given Leo too much of a disturbing," she let out, everyone could sense the coldness of her voice. Everyone can shivered in fear at the sudden dark aura emanating on her. "And third..." she let out, facing Chikhan.
"I'm an ice demon whom can coldly castrate that precious part you've been cherishing."

Leo was by all means completely surprised when Chikhan suddenly burst in the kitchen, the artist didn't even have time to say anything when Chikhan started to blame him for harassing Rayl. The guy then further surprises him by pulling Rayl off of him, at to which Leo started to gain back his ability to talk, "H...hey!"
Though, before Leo could even deliver his thoughts, Rayl had taken things in her own hands by literally slamming the guy against the wall quite strongly. The artist's lips were sewn shut when Rayl finally exploded, even he could feel the atmosphere starting to get a little cold through the assassin's icy voice.
Bravely, Leo stepped up behind Rayl, resting a hand on her shoulder once she's done threatening her soon-to-be victim, and tries to calm her down. "He gets the point now, Rayl.. Calm your temper, it's alright." Slowly, he tries to pull Rayl to the back with him, in case she suddenly shoots ice breath and freeze the guests to death.
"Uhm..sir..." Leo then called out to Laslo, "I suggest for you to take your son back to the living room...please."

Her eyes glower in anger, she was just about to do something she won't regret. But Leo have failed her to do so, by butting in. She looks up at Leo with a confused gaze, but so sighed heavily. All the anger was washed away with the sudden interruption of Leo.
She looked at him apologetically, "I apologize," she let out to Leo then to the old man.
She look lastly at the man who have been so ill-mannered in front of Leo, "Remember... you're at my property. I can easily kick you out if you do unnecessary things, got it?"

Chikhan was immediately knocked unconscious since he was smashed against the wall so powerfully like that. His limp body was left beside the wall, sitting and leaning on it, almost seeming like he's awake in that position.
"I...I apologize for my son's behavior.." Laslo stepped forward, bowing a bit to Rayl. The old man then pulled his son up, hanging the boy's arm over his shoulders and lead the comatose young man back to the living room.
Though, he paused when he's at the kitchen door to glance back towards the pair, "I'm sorry for being nosy, but..." The old man darted his eyes directly to Leo, "...please mind your distance."
After that, he disappeared from sight, heading to the living room to set his son on the couch.

"Do not apologize," Leo muttered back to Rayl when she expressed her regret. If one's to blame, it's not her. He then watched the old man carrying his unconscious son back to the living room, but not before advising Leo to mind his distance.
Leo stared at the kitchen door with his eyebrows shot high. His brain could immediately interpret what the old man meant; to not get too attached with the assassin. He quickly turned back his attention to Rayl, already constructing questions in his head, along with its answers. Whatever the case, the old man's right.
"You're...not supposed to have feelings for me," the artist began, unconsciously taking small steps further from her, "Because that would interfere with your job." His reasoning is solid. Though, in any case, logic cannot defy the heart, he needs to take that into consideration as well.
"People...might take advantage of your weaknesses...and turn them against you. ...I'm worried, which is exactly why I should...keep my distance," there was this strange glint in his eyes as he said that, it's like he's swallowing something hard down this throat.
"...So you'll be safe, Rayl."

Rayl just locked her gaze as Laslo fetch his unconscious son, suddenly giving a statement or a warning on Leo. She sighed defeatedly, she looked up at the teacups as she suddenly arranged it. Making some tea on a hot pot and boiling it.
She knew, she could feel the unconscious steps Leo made away from her. It never did cross her mind she could be weak if she have fallen for someone.
Yet, what the old man and Leo said was right. The one she most held the care would be her weakness. But wouldn't they feel that she have already felt it? Her parents have died because of her. And that have been the most crucial past she have mourn for these years.
And now, why sudden remind her of that... when she have already have this special feeling at the brown haired guy?
"Wouldn't you say..." she suddenly let out, her eyes locked on the tea she was preparing. The heat emitting from the stove was invulnerable, yet what Leo said to her... suddenly turning her down is insufferable. "You're too late for reminding me that?" she finally let out, suddenly turning off the stove; as she pour the pot with tea on the teacups with a gloves.
Once done, she ignored Leo, suddenly striding her way at the living room; placing the teacups on the table. She doesn't want to stay longer at the place; where no one can even let her feel such human, though she was thankful nonetheless. They have let her remind that she was no ordinary human.
Once done, she quickly take her black mask and leave the house. Closing the door shut as her eyes scan the continuous blizzard. She ran away from the house, continuing what is needed to be done from the very start.
She have to assassinate what have been the cause of the whines of the weak people whom offered her home.

Laslo shook his head in disappointment as he glanced at his son. How big his muscles yet weak he could be? He shook his head and just wait for Leo and the assassin to come.
Yes, he have reprimand those two. Because of what happens in their village. They needed a mercenary, a savior who can save this small village to those evil rich old man. The reason he have reprimand those two is to let the girl maintain her mission well. A weakness can still be a weakness if it spotted by those whom have grudge against someone.
He have learned that pretty well, that is why he somehow care no more at his son. He doesn't let some affection flow on him... and it appears it is quite true.
A minute or so... Rayl came in with a tea, she poured it on the teacups hastily. Suddenly went out of the house, he was confused at the sudden action of the girl.

'You're too late for reminding me that?'
That one lone question echoed inside Leo's mind for the longest time. He stared at her with widened eyes, watching her pouring the hot water into the pot. Then it suddenly strikes him...doesn't that hurt her? So is the fireplace back in the living room. She's an ice maiden, so the warmth must be her shortcoming. ...He's surprised on why he noticed this a bit too late.
"R-Rayl.." he tried to call her as she left the kitchen, but his voice doesn't even seemed like it wants to reach her hearing. At this, Leo just stood there, organizing what's happening and tries to emulate another's feelings, for once.
Though, being himself, it's hard to understand someone else's feelings, since it's difficult to understand his own. Leo backed away and leaned onto the wall for a second to think it through, but then he heard the front door shut close. At this, he slides down the wall and ending up sitting on the floor with a nagging feeling in his heart that he can't ignore.
"Why do I feel.....dissapointed...in myself.."
It took him a while to recover and tries to shake off the feeling, but after that's done, he went straight to the living room, sporting a frown much deeper than he usually wears.
"Why," Leo stood in front of Laslo, looking down in front of the old man. "Why did you say that...?"
