"I'm not quiet sure myself. I apologize," Asher replied quietly. "And true, it is strange that she is alone. All the more reason to depart while we can and draw away any pursuing demons. Don't look now but I believe there are already a few surrounding us. We had best be on our way."
Lowering his sword, the tip brushing the grass, Asher glared at the surrounding brush, ready to defend his master with his life if necessary. However, it would be interesting to see how Alex fended himself off alone against the demons again.
Giving his head a light shake he dismissed the idea from his head. This was what it meant to be a Maurier, even though he truly knew little of his own family. Still, fate had dealt it's card and now he had to pursue that destiny. No matter how dark it seemed.

Lady Cassandra Eventide:;

Cassandra bit her plump bottom lip as the door slammed shut, the reverbarations rattling up her legs to her head, where her teeth rattled in her jaw. She slumped down onto the floor, resting sideways on her thigh. She pressed one shaky hand to the floorboards to prop herself up and stop her descent from getting any further. Her mind raced wildly over Victoria's face as she had stormed out. The nursemaid comment had stung. Her childhood was not a matter to be taken lightly in her eyes.

Now that her anger had passed, her dark green eyes had returned to their normal shade, the flames dying back to the embers. But worse was the feeling of a knife blade peircing through her chest, causing her to tremble with fear of herself.



Lord Andrew Eventide:;

Andrew flinched as he watched his sister's face melt into sadness, a hollow mask of realisation. He got down on his knees beside her head and pulled it shaker his chest, cradling her against him as they had always done when they were children and she had been fighting. He had little concern for his own light-headedness, passing it off.

Once his sister had calmed down he stood up and exited her chambers quietly, heading directly to the servant's quarters. He acknowledged each respectful bow and curtsy on his way, but the action was not what was in his mind. No, his mind had strayed to that lovely servant whom his sister had angered. He wished to help her ease her pain, if he could. He could always soothe her skin with cool water and he was capable of basic medicene. He wouldn't be totally useless!

.....Alex frowned slightly, "Right... If you say so- Lead the way?" Her pushed his hair back from his face, knowing that if he did stay too long stood in the cold doorway that he would probably end up dying from the cold since he was soaked through. He slipped back outside, and didn't look around as Asher had warned him against it. He whispered again, "Will you be wanting me to check if there are any demons?" He could easily move the shadows near the bushes to check, though it might give them away since the shadows tended to move when he did such think.
He waved at Brier as if it had been a social call and nothing out of the ordinary, and the crossbow that he'd left on the table disolved into shadows which tended to take up quite a bit of energy whenever he did that, however he could now pull it from shadows anywhere he liked. "Lead the way Asher."

.....Once she'd gotten to the servant's quarters, those who'd noticed her had raised eyebrows and fussed at the burns across her hands, asking if she'd been helping the chefs. She'd waved them away and shook her head, telling them she'd tell them later. Victoria slipped into her bedroom, right at the back of the quarters and the only servant's room with a window albiet a rather small one. She pushed the curtain back to let light in, and dumped the blackened mess of a shirt on the floor before rumaging through the drawers in the small cabinet next to her bed for the medical suplies.

In all honesty, she expected to be made to pack her bags and leave after that incident and intended to once she'd cleaned her wounds. Victoria always kept her head held high, no matter what. Because then, you at least retain your sense of morality. She did feel a stain of regret for what she'd said to Cassandra and knew she felt that regret as a friend and not a servant, she never regretted actions that were improper of a servant since she did what she deemed nessescary.

She flipped open the small package full of medical stuff, before searching through the vials for the one that she needed. She was pretty sure one was good for burns she just had no clue which one.

◘◘Andrew found what he hoped was Victoria's room, and knocked lightly on the door. He stepped back and waited until the door opened. A harassed-looking woman poked her head out and grunted "what?" before realising who he was, and curtsying deeply with lowered eyes. He chuckled. "Wrong door, sorry ma'am."

He bowed deeply and excused himself, continuing to the next door. He knocked politely, waiting for Victoria to answer. He could hear her moving around inside the room. He looked left, then right, and was shocked to see how little space there was between the doors. He had never been up here before, and he could now see why all the servants looked miserable.

.....Victoria's excelent senses easily picked up the sounds of the door being knocked on next door and the woman who occupied that room answered it. She did try to ignore all the conversations that went on about the servent's quarters, they had been wary of the Maurier girl at first, since she was the strange one that had been raised by demons. Though, they had grown to like her, heightned senses and strong muscles had their uses. Victoria was the go-to person when it came to trying the tastes of new food or listening in on conversations that really shouldn't be listened to or when it came to helping with catching the horses from the field.

She had been trying to ignore the conversation next door until she heard Andrew's voice and the moment he knocked on the right door, it opened a split second later since she'd assumed he'd been after her. "M'lord you shouldn't be down here, the servant's quarter's are unfit for your lordship's eyes." She paused a moment before adding, "Though you'd better come in since you're blocking the walkway and Mary always get's uptight about that." She gestured to the room next door when she said the name Mary, before pushing her own door widder open for Andrew to walk into the space that was barely big enough for one.

It was a small space, but well utlised. The small bed shoved right against the wall and a cabinet next to it. The cabinet touched the other wall, since it was a very thin room. There was a small space between the bed and the door in which Victoria stood, and a space in front of the cabinet. However, Victoria had been clever in the design of the room, nailing crates and boxes to the walls that held clothes and personal possessions. Weapons were carefully stowed away under the bed and cabinet out of the way.

~ Lucian - Abraxus - Maurier ~

"We're nothing but pawns. So move to where they want because life is just a game."

(My apologies on the delayed reply, I've been on my phone and it's very hard to write on there.)

........Lucian grunted in surprise as Lady Brightmoore collided with him on the stairs and sent him back against a wall. In her struggle to move away from him she managed to clip his chin with her elbow, bringing a soft growl from his lips. When she pulled out her staff he was tempted to take it from her and snap it in half out of annoyance, but he reminded himself that he had enough enemies and he did not need another one. To satisfy his annoyance, he settled for sending a scathing glare in her direction and standing with his arms crossed at his full height (this usually intimidated anyone who annoyed or angered him).
........Amusement flickered across Lucian's face as the women realized who he was and quickly uttered an apology. He waited for her to shorten her staff before uncrossing his arms and offering his hand to her to help her up; after all, he was part of one of the most well no families in the area and he had an image to uphold.
........"I assure you, Lady Brightmoore," he began with a smirk that could match that of a cat with a mouse trapped in its paws, "It is hardly any trouble. I did, after all, come unannounced. Forgive me for that, if you will, I needed a place to spend the day that was close by and I ran into a... follower of sorts. A young boy wished for me to "teach him to shoot a arrow", as he put it. I hope it isn't any trouble."
........Once Lady Brightmoore was safely back on her feet Lucian, having the image of a gentlemen to uphold, bent in a slight sort of bow and pressed his cool lips against the back of her hand. "Lady Brightmoore, it is very nice to see with you today. Please excuse my unannounced arrival, may I escort you to the Parlor?"

.....Rebecca visibly relaxed once the rather crude glare left his eyes, however she became easily uptight once more at the smirks and amusement that crossed his face. True she had been out of line to threaten him with her staff, yet she hadn't meant to, she'd simply been scared since Lucian had been unannounced. Plus anyone who knew her, knew that she detested fighting and only did it when she felt threatened. Rebecca was not the best of fighter, and therefore was no threat to Lucian either.

As she listened to his story about a follower and the arrows being fired, she thought about what it would be like to fire an arrow. She'd never fired an arrow, or held a bow for that matter and had to admit it did sound fun. As Lucian helped her to her feet she gave a faint smile and once she was steady she found him kissing her hand. "Perhaps next time to save us from the confrontation that has just happened, an announcement would be recommended." She smiled lightly and nodded. "Please do escort me to the parlor Mr. Maurier. Though I must ask you to call me Rebecca."

She smoothed her dress down with her free hand, and hid her feet under her dress when she remebered that she'd forgotten to put shoes on.

Asher gave a slight nod. Giving a final bow to Brier, he headed off toward the front of the house. "I wouldn't move the shadows. Not just yet. Let them stew for a little and then when the coast is clear of any passers by, their cover will be blown."
Drawing away from the house, Asher craned his neck back at the house. Low skitters, barely noticeable, were clear to his sensitive ears. "You take the front, I'll take the rear. Head toward town. An alleyway would be nice."
Drawing back, he put a little distance between them. Keeping an eye on the shadows, he let Alex lead and hoped his power over the shadows would work. If so, the demons would be caught off guard and easily dealt with. At least, easier than if the demons were the ones to attack first.
Fingers clenched around the hilt of his blade, a small smirk came across Asher's face. This was what he lived for, made his blood race, gave his soul, what was left of it, something to keep fighting for.

.....Alex nodded, leaving the plan of action to Asher and then following it without problem. He kept in front as directed, his blue eyes scanning the aurrounding area. He walked casually as if nothing at all were wrong, though his hand rested on the handle of his sword which would have normally been hidden by his coat. He made a note to himself to get a new coat as soon as possible, and headed down a side street.
Alex was trying to keep away from large crowds of people, it would be rather strange if a noble walked through the center of town looking like he'd just fallen in a river. He pulled at his shirt sleeves, irritated because they were sticking to his skin.

He had no clue what kind of demons were following after him and Asher, he didn't have the hearing of the Maurier family. He wasn't envious of it however, believing it would be painful for headaches if you could hear to that extent. He was glad that Asher had the heightened senses however, and the amasing skill with the sword, Alex himself was feeling pretty tired after getting rid of the parasites, and was glad his bodyguard had turned up to help.

Brier waited only a moment before following the two. She was bored, and had heard them talking about demons besides. She hadn't seen many, only the ones that she'd seen when her father took her with him.Brier snatched up her sword (hidden in a parasol) and followed them.It wasn't hard. Alex was sopping wet, from pouring the water on his head, and Asher was fairly large. "This should be fun." She said with a grin, causing the people around her to give her curious looks, which she ignored.
