((Thank you to Mad Knight))
There was a quiet click of a door on the second floor of the Inn and moments later Lenore was slinking off the end of the steps into the commons. Tonight she wore a white crop top and a teal ankle length skirt, her hair falling in bone white blonde waves down to the small of her back. Golden eyes flickered around the room on her way to the kettle behind the bar. Grabbing the kettle she moved to the sink to empty and refill it.
Michael prowls the Inn's flat roof, bespoke for specified violence. Call him Harbinger, for he sings doom with a clinking of metal and wood and chain. Call him Omen, for he is a sign of bad things, of blood and broken skin. Call him Portent, for as drops through the hatch in the ceiling, his vast array of weapons shift around him, in the fashion of a sword, a hatchet, a mace, and worse. A weighty helmet obscures his face, and a chain shirt jangles as his weight settles on a creaking wooden beam. In quick order he is speeding along and dropping again, drawing long steel in a single fluid motion. Booted feet cover distance with long strides. Green eyes burn in the hulk of shadows, focused on a single target: Lenore.
The familiar scent hit her first, not just of Michael but the smell of a predator. Her skin buzzed with that feeling rabbits surely felt when wolves were about. Her expression turned to stone and brightly burning golden eyes focused on Michael, her body sinking slightly though she didn't outright crouch at him. "No sparring, Michael. I am not in the mood." She did not yell, but her voice was stern.
The Knight's sword is a gossamer flash, a spinning web, a frenzy of flashing metal that not once cuts but creates space, imposes distance. He smiles from behind the steel wall, lazy in his cockiness, turning on a heel to roll under any attempts to touch his person. Within the folding motion of tumbling forward, he springs forward and snatches Lenore by the scalp. Fingers of iron wrench her up by her hair, until she hangs, and he can poke her too-soft stomach with his sword point. "Not sparring. You owe me a fight. I want the f*cking fire and you need it, too. We're leaving one way or another." And with that, the Malkavian flew through the room, taking tables, chairs, and the bar top as he went, dragging Lenore with him. "This is no one else's business. Stay out of it." He sneered as the two vanished into the alley.
