Eyes for the Blind

[Sera]

Milovan's head swung back towards the door when Rei said she would get it. He would certainly have tried to agree with Lacere, but it was evident by Rei's continued movements-- as in, sudden leap-- that she wasn't going to listen at all. He sighed, wondering if he should try to step in and help mediate when the other hybrid jerked upwards oddly and seemed to fly out the door. Was that. . . hand?!

"Rei!" he gasped in shock. It was rather against his nature to leap into battle, but this time it seemed that Rei had been pounced rather than the other way around and that seemed very bad. He stumbled for the door, pausing there to try and ascertain what was going on without-- hopefully-- actually putting himself into danger.

Rei shrieked and squirmed in her captors grasp, biting into the hand and not letting go, her tail flailing and scoring several cuts on the black arm which... already appeared to have a great deal of odd red scars. What milovan would see though, would likely look like a huge living shadow, edged with blood, and with a broken chain hanging from a spiked collar...

It's voice came forth, it sounded deep and oddly... Scholarly. It held a very feral, almost growl like edge to it without sounding malevolent. "Oh... You have friends with you... That is cute." he let loose a deep chortle, not seeming to mind, and even purring a very small amount as more droplets of blood fell from his hand.

Rei spoke out between her muffled grip with something that sounded like 'Run' but it was hard to tell.

Lacere was hiding at this point, although still trying to spot what was going on... She saw the black hand, and red tipped claws. But when Milovan had ran out, she quickly followed, a sharp gasp coming out as she saw the blood fall, before looking up to where Rei was held- That tsume looked so familiar... and scary.

[Sera]

Milovan shrank back a bit himself, keeping most of his body off to the side and one dark hand clasped the doorframe tightly. Giant black shadows with swinging chains were definitely a bad thing in his book and, from Rei's unhappy reaction in hers as well.

He tried to gesture behind him for Lacere to hide somewhere as he swallowed hard. Oh, gads. . . that thing was so scary.

"Please. . . p-put her down?" he asked, voice going quieter as fear stole the words almost before they could come out.

[Thalron]

It's head turned very slowly, and deliberately to face Milovan, it wasn't a natural movement to look at those who you were talking to it was... odd. to say the least, it although the only way he could likely it's head from the rest of the body was the deep crimson that seemed to spring forth off the back of it, and a... pair of horns? This was just getting better every moment.

"I will not put her down, then she will run away again." he stated very clearly, and matter-a-factly. "I will be taking her away, do you wish to come?" the question didn't sound too much like a threat... Right?

Lacere was hiding between Milovan's legs, and peering up from under his chest. She knew that she recognized the large tsume from somewhere, and was really hoping that it wasn't one that had tried to kill her in the past... Something did occur to her though, he could just as easily grab either of them at the moment, and that door didn't look like it'd stand up against him for more than a couple seconds... They were effectively trapped in here, but... He wasn't really doing anything other than catching Rei. Who was still struggling futily.

[Sera]

Milovan sunk down slightly, likely tapping the top of Lacere's head with his chest. His ears were down as flat as they would go and his pale eyes stared up towards the huge thing showing his terror just as easily as the rest of his posture.

"Wh. . . where are you g-going to t-take her?" He couldn't help but attempt to ascertain that Rei would be all right once they made it to. . . wherever they were going. He certainly couldn't stop the big black thing, nor, he bet, would Lacere be able to.

[Thalron]

Lacere didn't duck, she kind of liked being pressed against him- big brother, he was her big brother. She edged forward a bit so she was just under his chest, and peered up at the large black, and scarred tsume. She was too scared to say anything though, other than making a small meepish noise.

Rei shrieked and flailed all the more, her tail lashing about wildly. "Noooooo~! You'll never take me alive!" she said before clamping down on a digit which brought forth... A purr from him.

His head turned to look at Rei again, in that overly purposeful way... Had Milovan good eyesight he might be able to guess the reason for this, as the tsumes eyes were entirely black it was hard to tell what he was looking at... It was simply a habit to inform others. "I was told to bring you back, they did not specify a condition." with that, Rei let go and shut up so he could turn his attention back to Milovan. "Home." he stated simply, then turned to walk away.

When he turned, a shackle, complete with broken chain was obvious on his other forearm. He had odd taste in jewelry, if it was put there willingly. Another small note that he likely missed, was a book on the end of the chain hanging from his neck.

[Sera]

Milovan stretched out his hand briefly, as though to try and stop the larger tsume, but. . . really, what could he do? If he attempted an attack, he would just get himself killed with a chance of the stranger killing Rei just out of spite.

Home, though? That. . . wasn't. . . too bad, right? His ears still flat, Milovan put down his hand and tried to figure out just what he should do. If she was just leaving on her own, fine, but since she was being taken forcibly, Milovan wasn't certain if he-- or they, if Lacere-- should try to follow, or just let her be. He bit his lip uneasily and finally glanced down at the female. "Should we follow?" he asked quietly, though his nervousness would still be obvious in that whisper.
