Strange Festivities

[Shawn]

Shawn now are tainted with blood due to his gruesome way of killing the Count. This is to ensure to halt the attempt of the girl behind him from healing this Lord again. He then turns to the girl as he observes if the girl tries to somewhat do something, but he felt a bit relief that she did not attempt to help the Count again, as hurting innocent one is the last thing he want to do.

Seeing the young girl expression tells him that what he did might be too gruesome for her, but he had no choice but to do so. He was a bit taken back when the the young girl whom is tearing up stares at him without wavering as he too stares at her back, maintaining his cold expression. He then walk casually towards the girl before throwing a key he took out from his pocket to the girl, not caring if she manage to catch it or not.

"That's the key for this mansion's gate. Leave this place immediately," Shawn give her one last stare as he walk pass her as he opened the door behind her before he stops his walk as he about to say something. "You never see me here, for your own good," he said coldly before dashing away from her quickly.

His task is done, and he do not want to involve this innocent girl along with him. He always kills those that are evil in nature, not the innocent one. He hoped that he will never see her again as he will bring misfortune to anyone that is related to him, since he is an Assassin of the 7 Deadliest Weapon.

[Ria]

Ria held her sad stare at the cold-faced man for a while. She was a bit taken aback as he began to step towards her, unconsciously taking one step back. She stood tall for her short stature, her eyes not leaving his. She only finally broke eye contact when something was tossed her way. Her expression changed immediately to shock as she quickly attempted to grab what was tossed to her, fumbling them as they landed in her hands but managed to keep them from reaching the floor at least.

The moment she got a good grasp of what was tossed at her, he began to speak, confirming that her eyes were seeing a key now in her hands. She heard him tell her what the key was for, then looked up at him with a sort of surprised expression. Slowly, her fingers grasped around the key a bit tightly as she held it in front of her chest. The realization had just come to mind that this man was saving her from whatever the count was intending to do. He may've done something awful in the process, but he's still sparing her own life. She glanced down at the count again with a sad expression. Mine for his? She thought solemnly to herself.

As she noticed his figure moving towards the door, Ria looked back up at him quickly. One of her hands began to reach out towards him to stop him, perhaps to thank him for her life. As his voice chimed in again, her arm froze. When he stopped talking, he dashed away. Ria's arm flinched forward slightly before slowly retracting it towards herself. She looked down at the key in her hands again. She glanced around the room at the unconscious men and the dead count. A terribly sad expression adorned her face as she closed her eyes to have a moment of silence for the count's death.

A moment later, she heard one of the downed men begin to stir. The sound shocked her as she opened her eyes again and looked at one of the men beginning to rouse from his previously unconscious state. A hint of fear entered Ria then as she quietly stepped out of the room. She looked away from the door then lightly sprinted down the hall, stopping at the top of the stairs. She carefully made her way down and to the front door, glancing around one last brief time before opening the large door in front of her. She emerged slowly and headed out, using the key on the gate as instructed. Once outside the gate, she closed it again then tossed the key back inside the property for whoever might need it.

Ria then let out a heavy sigh before looking back down the road again and, with a solemn expression, beginning to walk.
