A Little Friday Night Entertainment (open)

[Chassius Nazir]

"No! You can't do this! Do you know how much I do for this town?!? You can't even LIVE without me!"

    The vain screams of a vain and corrupted man echoed into the night as a full moon shone down upon the spring filled city. Chass had just finished his end of a certain job given to him by a certain friend, and he couldn't be happier to have done it. As much as he disliked corruption in politics, he did so love to watch the looks of despair and guilt creep up on criminals' faces. The two young men had this thing in common, they loved seeing justice served, if perhaps for different reasons. If the police officer dragging the corrupt politician had looked up to the roof of the police station, he wouldn't have seen anyone. However, the eyes are usually the last thing to be trusted in this world, as what is unseen usually held the truth.

    Chassius Nazir sat upon the edge of the roof happily laughing into the night sky, looking down upon the criminal with immense satisfaction. He allowed his laughs to be heard only by the criminal, and so the man looked up to see nothing. Deciding it would be a fun game, Chass revealed his body as well, waving with a wink at the man below. The man's disheveled features and look of desperation mixed with confusion as the young man spoke from above. "Schoolgirls are your thing, then?" the boy asked, "How shameless! If I were harassing children, I would have at least found a good hiding spot where they wouldn't be heard. Next time, try and find a better way to hide your filthiness than simply locking those girls in a storage shed outside of town. Though it wouldn't make much of a difference, as I would have found them anyway..."

    It appeared that the child molester was yelling at no one, simply a man who had lost his mind and needed to be put away. He cried out for mercy, to be spared of his consequences, but they fell on deaf ears. Finally, in a fit of rage he yelled at the concealed boy to identify himself.

"Who am I, you ask?" the boy said with a cheeky smile, "Why I'm,"

    Jumping down from the roof, he surrounded himself with an illusion of a monstrous black being with red eyes and bloody horns. Several eyes blinked randomly all over the creature's body lurched forward as it landed and breathed heavily, "YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE... A MONSTER THAT PUNISHES THOSE WHO DARE HIDE THEIR DARKNESS!"

    With that, the man had finally gone over the edge and screamed in utter terror, quickly carried inside by the two policemen who had arrested him. Dispelling the illusion, Chassius let another laugh ring out into the night as he waved goodbye, his body fading back into the dimension it had come from. Putting on his mask again, he looked around for other things to do. The Medium allowed him to reveal himself and conceal himself with ease, but the young man couldn't help but become bored after a while. He wanted someone to come by, someone he could maybe befriend if they were interesting enough. So far, only Sparrow and Luz had been the only few people he had truly been intrigued by. He shrugged as he sprung onto a nearby wall, jumping off to climb onto another rooftop. With his mask over his face, he hummed quietly and swung his legs over the edge of the building, hoping that his little mission wouldn't be the only entertainment tonight.

[Deleted]

She had come here for two reasons, the first one was to see Kristina, mostly to spy on her of course and the second reason was to find her brother but she had figured out he found Argi a nice hiding spot. He had left her alive, but she was still upset with how beat up he had left her before he had finally opted to just leave. She owned him at least a punch, though she had gotten into town and found herself wandering around it as she tried deciding on where he was likely hiding. She had heard somebody screaming on top of the roof and had stayed on the bottom as it continued, not really caring for the fate of that poor soul, she found no pity for a child molester. She waited in the shadows when the police had come and arrested the guy as if he was insane. She couldn't help but wonder if he would go after her next, seeing as she wasn't exactly innocent. She allowed him to have a head start, finding she could keep up with him just fine without having to worry about much distance getting between them.

Allowing herself to be distracted she followed after the teen before coming to a stop just behind him, knowing he was bound to notice her sooner or later. "Well you had put on quite the show?" She stated, as if trying to get his attention, since she was still behind him. "Am I next on your list?" She asked, curious, more than willing to give him a hard time until she found her brother and at least punched him for leaving her as he had just because she hadn't let him kill her other brother. She didn't care if he knew or didn't know, she wanted him to understand just how upset he had made her, if only by just a little bit. "Until I find who I came here looking for, I might just make myself at home here." She teased, clearly tempted to pick a fight, seeing as Kristina was here having problems she didn't see the harm in finding others to cause trouble for in the meantime.

[Laurent Maythorn]

Orders change, specifically Laurent's when he returned to Aaron with bad news. Although not the least bit zealous, Aaron had given no punishment and had told him the new plan, which was to protect the girl who he defeated that night. However, tonight was a scout night, which had Laurent wearing the classic dark colours, but a cloak instead of his trench coat. Cracking open the window of the building he'd been spying from, Laurent slipped out onto the metal fire escape as silent as a shadow. Waiting a few moments, Laurent began to plan his route, his plan involving him jumping over the fire escape that was attached to the building across from him. Slowly, he began moving to the edge of the fire escape with plans to jump across, up until a loud shriek entered the air. Laurent looked upwards, confusion marking his face as he watched the edge of the building. "What the hell is going on?" Laurent uttered as he began to quietly make his way up the fire escape.

Certainly a shriek in the night was an interesting piece of information waiting for a scout to find and report. Upon getting to the top of the fire escape, Laurent found a rickety ladder that he cautiously began climbing. Silently, Laurent listened from his position on the ladder, hearing a voice from atop, one that he had heard not to long ago. With a slight chuckle, Laurent climbed the rest of the ladder and stepped onto the roof top. Most who knew the situation would think Laurent's moves to be brazen, but truth be told his injures were long healed by his abilities. Laurent made a quick observation on who exactly was on the rooftop, finding the girl as well a blond haired boy. "Hey, princess, you looking for me?" Laurent began with a slight mock tone. "Anyways, who's your little friend?" Laurent asked curiously as he watched the pair. Unfortunately, Laurent hadn't realized that Vashti was looking for a revenge.

[Chassius Nazir]

    Hearing footsteps behind him, he noticed a girl had made her way onto the same roof as Chassius. The young man had his mask hiding his face, but his hood was down, revealing his sandy blonde hair in the moonlight. Giving a slight wave, he replied to the girl, "Now this is a surprise. It's always a pleasure to find audience members who enjoy my performances. I suppose I should come around here more often."

    A smile crept upon his face, covered by his black and white mask with red eyes and a white tear drop on the black side. The young man sprung up from his spot and spun around in a circle, giving an over-dramatic flair to his new pose with his hand using the end of his long open hoodie to conceal his lower face with a "vampire cape". Casually, Chass caught a glimpse of another man on another roof, obviously wanting to deal with this girl. The young man had watched plenty of fights to know where this is going. Returning to a more casual stance, the masked boy pointed to the man and spoke to the brunette cheerfully, "It appears we have even more company, my fair lady. Who knew that the police station would be so sociable a spot tonight? In any case, how about we catch up after you and your friend chat? Until then, my dear..."

    With that, it looked as though Chass's body began to dissolve into nothing as he walked away from the girl. First his feet disappeared, following up his body until his disembodied hand waved farewell to the girl. Based on his senses, Chassius couldn't detect any other people in the area who could be aware of the medium, and so he should have been safely concealed from the two visitors' natural senses. With a small laugh that echoed in the empty Medium, but never left its walls, the boy watched in anticipation as he awaited the conflict between the two entertainers to begin...

[Deleted]

Vashti the guy but she didn't care how many times he changed his appearance she knew she would have to search him out later but a voice had distracted her and she turned to look at her brother. "Oh pretty boy, there you are." She answered him back, "He isn't my friend." She stated, walking towards Laurent she punched him the shoulder. "YOU ATTACK ME AND LEAVE ME THERE. For your sake you better at least tell me that you aren't going after Oliver again." Sure she hadn't given her all to fight Laurent but that was because he was her brother, she wasn't willing to hurt him to make a point. It was clear, punching him wasn't the only thing on her mind right this second, deep down she wanted to attack him like he had attacked her but she wasn't going to do that to him, no, because if she did they would likely have a show on their hands.

She noticed a message on her phone, it sounded like Kristina was on the move, but she was busy so she wasn't going to focus on this girl right this moment, she was going to focus on Laurent until he told her exactly what she wanted to hear. "Your next." She was talking to the guy, seeing him appear to disappear she believed he was gone, unaware that he was till there just watching them as if they were peppiest. "Well Laurent....." Boy did she sound more like an angry ex over a sister.

[Laurent Maythorn]

From what Laurent could tell, Vashti was indeed looking for him, and sort of answered his question about the guy. Providing a small smile, Laurent watched as Vashti approached, but didn't expect the punch to his shoulder. "Ow!" Rubbing his shoulder where Vashti had hit him, he watched as she rambled on about the night he'd went to assassinate her brother. Laurent's eyes went towards the boy who'd been on the rooftop, only to see he'd dissolved away. "Aww, Princess, you scared him away, how could you?" Laurent laughed as he spoke in his teasing voice. That was one thing Laurent did a lot, tease people he does or doesn't know. "What was I supposed to do? Not try to kill him and have my boss get furious? Yeah, that's not happening, Princess. And of course I left you there, I figured someone would find you," Laurent responded. Momentarily, Laurent wished he'd covered himself with an illusion dummy to have fall on the fire escape just to see Vashti's reaction.

Whilst Laurent crossed his arms, Vashti began talking to him in an angry ex-girlfriend sort of tone, rather a normal angry tone. "Well what? Listen, I'm not after Oliver, my boss figured out what he wanted to do. As far as I'm concerned, I am doing nothing wrong by being here. Besides, I spared you, Princess. You should be happy I did that," Laurent responded, his tone getting more mock near the end. There was a slight under tone of someone who seemed a little sorry for what he'd done. Although Vashti may have expected something else, Laurent wasn't yet going to spill Aaron's current plans, or he was at least going to wait until he knew Aaron had gotten into contact with Oliver.

[Chassius Nazir]

    As the two began to bicker, Chass calmly watched in amusement. That little punch seemed to have hurt at least a little bit, as the grown man with the eye-patch winced and gave a little cry of pain. Observing the exchange, the young man wondered what kind of people they would turn out to be. The two seemed close enough to be siblings, as "princess" wasn't usually a term used with lovers, exes or otherwise. Although, "pretty boy" wasn't exactly much better. He had seen similar situations before; a friend or comrade left for dead after being betrayed by one that they at least somewhat trusted...it made for excellent drama. Stifling a small laugh, he felt flattered that he was "missed" by the grown man that appeared to be quite deep in the unsavory business of assassination. Perhaps Chassius would reveal himself later just to give some interest back to this intriguing assassin.

    The girl was also quite unsavory in her own way. In the face of such a character, she didn't seem very intimidated. The way she carried herself gave the impression that she was no stranger to violence, even in a public setting. However, there was some kind of weakness concealed in her that made the young man curious. Chassius began to wonder if any of the Darkness in the area would be attracted to the negativity in her. Such resentment and anger was like a sweet aroma to those monsters, beckoning them to feast on the Darkness in one's heart. A quick inspection of the surrounding area below revealed no major enemies surfacing, but Chass knew better than to trust only his eyes. Sensing any hidden enemies, he could not feel any Darkness utilizing the Medium. He figured it would be best to deal with any monsters that may come this way. The only issue was maintaining the air of mystery around these two new people, at least until he had learned more about them. Biding his time, he waited to see what kind of fun could be had with such intriguing characters, and whether or not he should reveal himself to possible danger.

[Deleted]

Vashti looked over at Laurent and frowned, "Scared him away? Oh well." She would be lying if she said she cared about the other guy leaving, Laurent asked his question, "Maybe give up.... it wasn't exactly like I went out of my way to kill you." She answered him back, he'd remember her smacking him with her sword over cutting him with it. "You ended up not killing him anyway.... so what is the difference?" Then he said that he figured somebody would find her there and she just frowned at him. "You really should have figured out more about your target before accepting it." She told him bluntly, you were going to kill your own brother and you left your sister to be found.... Laurent didn't appear to be listening to her as she was ranting at him. "I got spared but dumb luck, don't give me that crap." He isn't trying to kill me, what does his boss have planned now?

Vashti's phone went off and she answered it, "Yeah? No, I'm not right on her, yes I'm in town.... oh I see. You can't fool me, I know about your feelings being hurt...." She paused, "Oliver wants to know if you figured out who we are yet...." She waited a few minutes to give him a chance to answer before telling Oliver, "Yes he knows." She told Oliver bluntly, "I told you I don't agree, we will talk more about this when I get back, in the meantime, please don't do anything stupid." She suggested before letting Oliver hang up. He is going to do something stupid, I just know it. "So Oliver told me a little secret, sounds like your boss told him the good news of you getting watch me." She paused, "To bad I'm busy, so you'll have to keep up." She found the fire escape and went to climb down it.

She had things to do, people to bother, Laurent was special to her, but she would handle him later, for now she had a Kristina that she needed to spy on. She knew exactly where the girl was too, so she went to the ground and looked up to see if Laurent would stay up there or if he would follow her down. "I'd hate to see you fail another mission Laurent...." She called up at him, just as Darkness started approaching. Aww dang it.... what is this? She withdrew her sword from her belt, not completely sure of what she was exactly up against.

[Laurent Maythorn]

In all honesty, Laurent wasn't bothered by the boy leaving, mostly because as far as he was concerned, he didn't need to consort with the strange boy. When Vashti shook off the fact that the boy had left, Laurent presumed he was of no importance to her at that very moment. "Give up? Princess, you realized that if you go up to a boss and say 'Yeah I gave up,' they will not be impressed," Laurent responded with a slight shrug. "Besides, if I didn't fight you and just left, you probably would've thought I was going after Oliver," Laurent added. There was one incident that easily told Laurent that Vashti hadn't intended to kill him, which was the smacked him with her sword opposed to cutting him. Laurent had learned that Oliver and Vashti were his half-siblings on his father's side, but he still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Vashti refused to kill him.

In Laurent's eyes, they barely knew each other and were complete strangers, not a chummy pair of siblings. "The difference is that you were an obstacle. If I left you damaged, well then chances are I could return and kill him another day while leaving you alive. Trust me when I say I think about next time," Laurent responded, a slight smirk on his face. That was when Vashti gave him a mini lecture about learning more about his targets in the future. "Princess, I am a dog, I obey my orders no questions asked, therefore, no I will not be acquiring more information about targets. I listen to my boss like I'm supposed to," Laurent responded, in a somewhat slow manner. It was similar to how an adult may try to explain something to a child. "By you got lucky, I meant that you were lucky that you weren't my target or weren't present during my first attack," Laurent said nonchalantly.

Laurent silently listened as the phone went off and his sister answered, pausing every so often when the other person talked. When the question came about knowing his brother and sister, Laurent didn't confirm that he did, instead he smiled at Vashti and shrugged. When she hanged up, she began starting about Aaron telling Oliver the news and stating his assignment, of which he already knew about. "Oh? So Aaron did get in contact with him. Then I guess my job starts now, princess," Laurent said, opting to continue calling Vashti princess. "Then lead the way," Laurent said in response to Vashti having to leave. Once Vashti was down a story, Laurent jumped onto the first walkway, the fire escape's ladder making a slight ring as though to protest the idea. With experience, Laurent landed without hurting himself, and from that point he continued down the stairs after Vashti. There were two sets of stairs between Laurent and the ground when out of the corner of his eye, Laurent spotted a black creature with skinny, long claws.

His gaze immediately shirted to Vashti, who seemed unsure about what the creature was. That made Laurent concerned, but not enough to discontinue his teasing tones. "What's the matter, Princess? Never seen a razor before? Listen, just be careful and make sure to know where it is. Razors are fast, and not to mention their claws can slice off limbs, so make sure not to get hurt," Laurent called. Before he continue, he stopped, remembering there was something else he should mention. "Oh yeah, I don't really have any great weapons on me since I supposed to scout, so I may not be able to help that much," Laurent added. In truth, Laurent only had a ring of five throwing knives and his short swords since he hadn't gotten any new bullets for his gun and his daggers belonged with his trench coat. Quickly, Laurent began descending the last sets of stairs on the fire escape.

[Chassius Nazir]

    As the conversation had continued, he noted the estranged nature between the two siblings once more. It seemed that not much could be done in the way of reconciliation, and so Chassius began to make his way down a flight of stairs on the side of the building. Hearing from above, it appeared the assassin was considered a "dog", hinting at ties to a mob of some form. From the information he had received from Sparrow, he was aware of a certain mafia gaining hold over the city more and more as the weeks went by. His tactician of a friend had suspicions of the mob being connected to the specific organization being investigated by the two youth, along with some other allies.

    Still wearing his mask, he tapped the side of his head with his finger as it appeared that the man's job was about to begin. Hearing a clanging noise, Chass looked up to see the hitman making his way down the same fire escape he was on. Looking down, a Razor had spawned nearby, ready to attack any nearby humans. Getting a feel for the girl's personality, Chassius could only assume that the "princess" would follow in order to protect this Oliver they spoke of. A brother to the hitman and the girl, the boy named Oliver intrigued Chass slightly. Deciding that the Razors would be a good form of entertainment, the young man shifted down ahead of the two that were sure to follow.

    Pulling out a curved dagger with his left and and raising his right, he began to charge an attack as he shifted out of the Medium once more. Casting it towards the creature, a solid impact blasted the beast into the building's wall, creating a firm indent of where the Razor once lay. Springing forward with increasing speed, Chass sliced away the arms and legs of the monster, leaving it a quadriplegic mess. The black dust of Darkness faded by the moonlight and Chass gave a swift finish to the Razor, soundly stabbing into the beast's temple. He had developed a sense of anatomy in his nights with Sparrow, as the two hunted the Darkness on a regular basis. Looking up again at the man named Laurent a smiled from underneath his mask. Sheathing his blade once more, he faded back into the Medium.

    The young man began to walk towards the direction that Laurent had looked towards in response to the girl, knowing the events were to transpire there soon. He supposed it would be best to contact Sparrow quickly enough, as Chassius himself did not do well in fights against more than one human. However, Sparrow made for a fearsome ally, as the two could handle tens upon tens of Darkness. Ready to contact his his dear friend, Chass continued to make his way down the alley towards the new destination. As the light of the moon grew stronger, the shadows grew larger and more fearsome. Truly, as the night went on, the Darkness began to grow restless in its slumber...

[Deleted]

Vashti had listened to Laurent speak but didn't care to heed his warning, she planned on taking care of this thing without his help. She held her sword at the ready, but the boy from earlier had appeared out of no where and had killed it in front of her. He then disappeared again and she had glanced towards Laurent, "You might want to consider looking into your targets instead of just following orders." She answered him back, not caring that he didn't seem to agree on the subject. She placed her sword back on her belt, even though she had no idea on where that boy had gone she knew that she wanted to go toward the Chaser academy to spy on Kristina for a little bit. Oliver had a friend who was handing her quite nicely, so she slowly made her way down the alley towards the school as it came into sight she could see Kristina was walking around campus. She was on here to spy and take some note, maybe even find out if she still seemed to have the same flaws.

The feeling of being watched had washed over her, she knew that Laurent was following her but she didn't honestly believe he was likely the reason for her sudden feeling. That boy could have been just about anywhere. She watched Kristina go back inside of the building, Soon enough you will come out and Oliver will make his move.... She thought to herself before turning back towards Laurent. "Lets go, I know I'm being watched and I don't like it." She was done here anyway, she was sending a message to Oliver, telling him that everything was set in stone and how she was planning on returning home shortly. She wouldn't be doing anything to Kristina, not while she was protected by her friends, but that would soon come to an end. She was counting on this stranger following them. "Laurent, you can't seriously be planning on following me around everywhere can you?"

[Laurent Maythorn]

From where Laurent was, he could already tell that Vashti had decided to ignore him opposed to actually listening. With that, he began rushing a little faster down the stairs, skipping steps to get to the bottom faster, however there had been no need to rush. Once Laurent arrived at the bottom of the fire escape, he watched as the masked boy from the rooftop took down the creature with simple ease. Each move was done with practiced ease, suggesting that the boy could very possibly be a chaser rather than just a gifted boy. Silently, Laurent watched as the deed was done flawlessly, the boy not even obtaining a scratch from his encounter with the razor. That was when the boy looked at him, giving Laurent a chance to examine the mask, but he couldn't tell it was an illusion. Once again, he witnessed the boy dissolve into nothingness, however Laurent couldn't help, but to feel the foreboding feeling of being watched.

Upon hearing Vashti's voice, Laurent turned to face her direction. "Not my place to question, Princess," Laurent said simply, hoping it would put an end to the conversation. Something about the boy appearing suggested that he was watching them, but Laurent couldn't confirm the idea. Presumably, the boy could appear anywhere, leaving Laurent to act a bit more observant along with pay attention to all his senses. When Vashti began moving, Laurent followed in complete silence, almost acting like a shadow as he paid mind to the surroundings in the alleyways. After a few moments, Vashti decided for them to leave, making Laurent nod and follow in utter silence. He lacked in jibes after the idea of being watched came in, mostly since he wanted to be cautious as well. However when Vashti asked him about following her, Laurent couldn't resist.

"Princess, I told you I listen to commands, so yes, yes I do. Until my boss gives me a bit more information about what he wants me to do, you're stuck with me until I declare you safe. Then I will see what my boss says and probably go home," Laurent explained. Naturally, it wasn't that straight forward, he would watch and listen for about fifteen minutes and if nothing happened, he would sneak off home and text Aaron any details he obtained. He also opted to return to referring to Aaron as boss since the possibility of being watched was high. "Anyways, anything else you need done?" Laurent asked, trying to figure out when exactly he would be able to report to Aaron.

[Chassius Nazir]

    Following the girl, Chassius noticed that she was making her way to the school, quite possibly enacting the plan she most likely concocted with this "Oliver". Even though she was unaware of it, the young man walked casually beside her as he followed her movements precisely, ready to act either out of defense or in order to protect the girl. As much as Chass enjoyed observing others fight the Darkness and learning more about humans, he also considered each life invaluable and wanted to ensure no casualties were had.

    Looking back to Laurent, Chass could tell that the hitman was becoming more wary of the young man's movements, prepared to strike if Chass was foolish enough to attack a seasoned killer. As tempting as it was to jump in blindly without any knowledge of his potential opponents, he decided it would be best to live. His mom would have to wait a little longer...

    Making only his voice known only to the girl beside him, Chass spoke into her ear, "I apologize if my presence bothers you at all, young lady. The conversation you and Laurent are having is too delicious to ignore. Drama between siblings...an exquisite classic for all tastes. Regardless...you are quite an interesting character, miss...please don't die before I can learn more about you..."

    With that, Chass let a laugh echo into the girl's ears, as if it was merely in her head. She would know better of course, but it was still fun to mess with her just a little. Skipping ahead, Chass ensured that his location continued to remain unknown. While attacks like swords or bullets could not affect the boy while he remained in the Medium, he could certainly be affected by some energy based attacks. There was once a close call with a fire in an abandoned house he had managed to escape from, but somehow Chassius had made it out without a singe. While technically in another layer of existence, the bottom of his hoodie swayed and flapped silently as he continued to move happily forward towards the next venue of choice with the main act...

[Deleted]

Vashti listened to Laurent's words but found herself distracted, she knew she wasn't alone, it was a gut feeling and she had every reason to feel like she was being watched because the guy from earlier had disappeared just to reappear to disappear again. It wasn't long before she had heard the voice in her head and the first thing she did was draw her sword to hit the person next to her, but he wasn't there. "Same to you, boy." She answered him back, turning to see that she was alone with Laurent. "He is still here Laurent." She wasn't telling him for the purpose of protection, she was telling him to be on his guard just in case the boy opted to go after him next. If Laurent had reloaded his gun she would have been able to steal it and fire it, but she figured he didn't have it on him else he would have possibly used it by now. She wanted Laurent quiet, so she that she could listen, she wanted to see if she could hear him walking, unaware that even if she had found his location she wouldn't be able to attack him.

It was pointless though, either his power blocked her from hearing him or he didn't walk very loudly and she had lost her chance. She had another power though, one that meant she was able to move around the shadows. "Last chance boy, come on out. I don't like being eavesdropped on." She looked towards Laurent as if saying, you aren't excused yet. It might have been more along the lines of your my brother not body guard though. The boy was taking to long to show himself, and she sighed. "How disappointing. Sorry Laurent, you aren't excused until my stalker isn't around anymore." It was just like her to make such a comment, she turned and walked away, knowing the both of them would be following her. She pulled out her phone to make a text message, telling Oliver no more phone calls because she had a stalker and was handling it. "Boy, if you get in my plans, I'll make you suffer for it." She added, clearly interested in picking a fight.

[Laurent Maythorn]

Silently, Laurent continued the follow, not hearing any of the words the boy exchanged with the girl. However when Vashti began drawing her sword, Laurent paused, concerned that he'd said something to upset her. With caution in his eyes, Laurent watched as Vashti turned to him, saying a choice set of words that suggested that perhaps she wasn't talking to him. "Yeah, I kind of figured that out on my own," Laurent responded, having no clue where the boy could be. In all honesty, Laurent had an escape plan, but it required him making quite the effort with his illusions to pull off such a trickery. However, that would be very difficult since Laurent wouldn't be just making a copy of himself, but Vashti as well in hopes to trick the mysterious boy. Keeping his hands behind his back, Laurent listened to Vashti as she began threatening the boy.

At any time, Laurent was ready to draw his short swords to defend her, since throwing a knife would be too risky. A small shrug was all Laurent gave to the idea of being excused due to the strange stalker who moved around in silence. Laurent glanced over to see Vashti texting, leaving him to carefully watch the surrounding area for the mysterious boy. When the second plan came, Laurent couldn't help, but give an annoy sigh at his sister's tone. She made it clear she was looking for a fight, which could end both good or bad. "Listen, princess, I might know a way out if you're willing to co-operate and not fight the boy," Laurent said quietly to Vashti. He couldn't be certain if the boy had heard him, but if so it was a positive in Laurent's books, solely because he was going to play with his illusions.
