♫ Battles End ♫
たたかいのおわり
As the night drew on, the rain poured down in the mud. Slicking the ground which the swordsmen danced around each other in. Their blades flashing with the lightning that struck every so often. One by one, the lives of the black figures were blinking out. Blood pooling into the mud with the rain. As Iris stepped further out into the rain, she took a look around, and hummed. Dayles chains shot out to wrap around the man calling out for Yuki. He went down into the mud with a -fwump- The ground practically swallowing him up. "Well it seems your hands already have it under wraps Madam. I am terribly sorry you had to endure this trouble when you just got here. Boss says there's been a rise in the thieves' activity lately. They're getting too bold." She yanked slightly on the thick chain that had the large beastkin being pulled down somewhat violently. "Go get the stragglers Gareth. She released the chain of the beast, and for a split second the beast was still. "Gareth..." The wolf flinched and moved forward with his lumbering hulk, towards the unfallen black figures.
Julia listened to Naori, a slight pout on her lips as she considered the girl coughing blood up on the ground. " That's such a shame...She would have made a rich man happy." Her violet eyes flicked towards Hiroshi then. "My apologies Mr. Nakamura, it seems I cannot give her to you anyhow. But if you'd like you may choose one of my suppliers products. You'll have plenty of chance to put my tips to practice." She managed a curt smile towards him before turning her concern towards Thaddeus. "Young man if you would tend to the wound as best you can to wrap his injury." She nodded to Naori then to Whizzie again for what he'd tried to do. Then she looked towards the man that Dayle had assigned to protect her. She nodded and whispered "I am going back inside. Do ask mister Keller to get a good nights rest. There might be more bandits tomorrow on the river. "
When Julia had started to talk, and Detective Laoids attention was free from the fight; it seemed as though he was about to go towards Julia to speak. However the large black wolf had come between them. A low growl emenating from his maw as his blue eyes studied Laoid. His teeth were bared and an arm was outstretched as if he was about to grab the man by the neck.
"Whoa whoa boy...I'm not your man.... Miss!? Call your boy off me!" The detective stepped back, putting his hands up and looking at the hulking beastkin with uncertainty. His eyes flicking towards Iris. The waitress stood for a second, non plussed. She blinked and tilted her head, as if considering her options. "Miss?!"
"I don't know...you've been awfully nosy around our guests. It might be easier if you just disappeared..." She put her hands on her hips. "Go on...you're not welcome in the tavern. Be on your way..." Gareth let out a chuff of hot hair through his nose, as he leaned towards Laoid. The growl still rumbling from his chest.
Yuki, was crumpled on the ground, having coughed up blood, and wheezing in air mixed with blood. She was slowly choking to death in front of Hiroshi. But even as the light faded in her eyes, she continued to glare with all of her hatred at Hiroshi. The man that Dayle had pulled to the ground with chains, was reaching out towards the girl. Shouting something unintelligible. Thaddeus winces slightly, once he'd finished securing the wagon. He looked around with an expression of dismay, before making his way towards the tavern after Julia.
"Gareth will clean this mess up. Don't worry about it. I'll tell Lou to bring some warm water up to each of the rooms so you can all clean up before you sleep." She smiled towards the group before turning to go back inside. As she did, one of the figures in black that was still standing let out a scream of anger, rushing forward blindly with a sword to aim at the closest person. Which happened to be Dreayth at the time.
