Looking expectantly from one person to another, Erias gestured expansively. "Well, to the inn we go then......why does everything take so long around here?" Standing, a slight tsking broke the air around him, emanating from a glaring couple seated behind him, and ever so slowly Erias's brow knitted into a grimace.
"Why, I do apologise for disrupting your view. Accept....my apology." With that, he casually sent the little bottle in his hands sailing over to the two admonishing Imperials, to watch it smash against the stone wall beside them. Splattering claret colour liquid over them, Erias lost interest after the first few seconds, turning and shrugging.
"God, I hate people." Screams emanated from the two, as they realised what was all over them.

Francis stared at Erias and scowled. "Erias stop this and apoligise now!" The Inquisitor looked furios and one hand touched the handle of one of the flintlocks.
"Apoligise and then leave." Francis ordered his left hand clenched into a fist.
"Saku and Ludovais get out of here now."

Saku stood, watching the people scream and shout, trying in vain to brush of the crimson liquid that stained them. Her right fist began to tighten, clenching into a fist , her knuckles white with the strain.
Her fingernails dug into her palm a little, it wouldn't be wise to smile here, she thought to herself, managing to calm down a little. No, worse still should she laugh, it could happen later, when she was on her own, where it would be more fun.
The corners of her lips flicked for a moment, but she turned ehr head away from hte screaming people and away from the blood that she longed to see in rivulets, flowing down the arena. "No, I am not ordered by you." She said, her voice cracking ever so slightly. ]

Looking from Francis, to Saku, then back again, his crazed smile just hiked larger on his face. Shrugging once again, he wondered what had got Francis so riled up - Erias had been significantly more sickening in the past, but never been remonstrated.....or had he? His memory fell apart when the madness took over.
"Why, I'm so sorry, I appear to have dropped something all over you." He called over his shoulder, but the fake apology was lost to the continued wails of distress from the two bloodcovered arenagoers. "Well, that was just impolite, not answering my apology." Another smirk was levied at Francis.
Surely the Inquisitor knew that Erias did not apologise, in one of these moods. Hadn't he grown to recognise when this psycho wasn't going to do anything that didn't make him happy?

The Inquisitor grunted and then shook his head. "Erias I am sure they accept it so we shall go before more trouble starts."
As Francis walked towards the three the Inquisitor grabbed Saku by the arm and flung her around to face him.
"Don't you ever do that again........You will obey what the Inquisition wants or you will die."
The Inquisitor snarled at Saku his fingers digging into her soft pale skin. "Got it?"

She started to walk on but when she felt her skin being grabbed by the inquisitor she tried to tear back. Finding herself fastened in his grip, her free pale hand reached within her bag at her side.
She could feel her flesh bruising at this hated human contact, and she could feel her pure fury rising. Not a word or sound passed her lips, not even as she drew her kunai and stabbed it into the top of Francis' hand, not deep, but enough to cause severe pain and bleeding.
Her murderous eyes flashed across his face as she pressed the kunai in harder, feeling the man's grip weaken, allowing her to tear back and out of his reach, dagger gone in her bag and wires flailing around her, eyes burning with hatred.

A quick step back was sufficient, Erias retreating the instant he noticed Francis attempting to restrain Saku. He'd seen many a man get a little too drunk, a little too lecherous and attempt to force himself upon the seemingly weak woman, and the afterwards was sometimes too much even for his twisted mind.
Looking from one to the other, he edged past, to reach Ludo's side. Although there was no love lost between the two, he would rather be in the position to seek the giant's aid in case a fight started between the two.
"Saku....I'm sure he didn't meant to touch you just now....it was a foolish lapse of concentration....." The weak shield personality was attempting to calm Saku, but the rest of him wanted to watch them tear each other apart.

"Saku put those down now!" The Inquisitor barked his rigth hand covered in his own blood. "I swear I will rip you limb from limb if you do not do what I tell you."
The Inquisitor snarled his eyes lcoking with Saku's. "The holy Inquisition will kill you, you know this do not make me kill you either."
The Inquisitor flicked his right hand the blood slapping all over the seats they just sat in.
"Saku put them down no!"

Her wires didn't slow, she wasn't about to attack, but she would not lower her defenses. Her eyes cast down to the dark bruise forming on her arm and she felt sick with fury. Yet again, no noise broke from her lips, but the wires lashed out, straight past Francis, wrapping around a solid wooden stand that held up an ornament.
The wire sliced as if it were a knife through butter and the wooden stand fell the stone ornament shattering on the floor. Murderous intent seeped from the blank faced girl, her eyes showing the only emtion she felt,
Disgust and pity at this dying or ill man, that needed other people to back him up, it was pathetic. She should kill him now, but it would make things difficult for her later. Her wires still spun in the air about her, but she waited for his reaction. "I do not take orders from you."

Waiting for the possibly hugely violent reaction of Francis to the almost-attack, Erias bit his lip slightly, and the sharp prick meaning he'd caused himself to bleed was barely noticed, but he sucked on it unconsciously. He edged closer to the woman, hoping she wouldn't snap and end his worthless life.
"Saku, please, this is neither the time nor the place....." This last was a whisper, hopefully only audible to it's intended target, Saku. "I care not for him, but right now, we need him. After, I won't stop you, but now.....please, put down the wires.....for me, darling?"

"Saku put them down no!" Francis walked towards Saku his hands down by his sides his eyes were still locked with hers.
"Do not make a mistake you will regret, not put down the wires and we will talk this out otherwise you will simply die."
The Inquisitor coughed again and felt the similiar taste in his mouth. "Now Saku back down for your so called superiors are just pawns."

Her lip seemed to move for a moment listening to the rational voice of Erias having some kind of effect. She glared, her wires spinning around her for a moment longer before they fell, her hands stopped moving, the barely audable flicking and twisting of the wires stopping.
The vain attempts of Francis had no effect on her, her life didn't reallty hold that much strength for her neither did the htreat of the imperials or the inquisition. But her eyes flicked over to Erias. "Because you ask." Her voice was quiet, totally calm as if she had not been preparing to kill the man that stood before her.
Her fingers busied themselves in wrapping the wires back up tidily, placing them in her bag, in their position amove the various other weapons she carried. Her eyes did however raise to Francis just long enough for her to utter the word. "Do not touch me."

Ludo looked around the few spectators remaining in the seats directly around the quad. He didn't want anyone innocent to die, least of all be involved unlawfully with the ominous murders.
People began to scatter, and soon most of the Arena had their sights on the two new combatants, spilling the precious blood the crowd longed for.
Ludovais was at a loss as to what to do; pick the two up and 'leg it', beat all three to a pulp or run and leave them kill each other.

The Inquisitor snarled and then looked at Erias. "Tame the bitch or she dies." Francis spat on the ground his eyes left the threesome and scanned the way down.
Slowly the Inquisitor left his right hand c;enched into a fist while his left rubbed a small crucifix.
From the bottom of the stands Francis looked up and spotted Ludovais. "Ludovais I want a word with you."

Reaching out, he checked his movement mid-way, and stopped the hand in mid-air, realising the stupidity of touching Saku, even on the shoulder consolingly, at this point. Instead he left the hand raised foolishly, and looked over to her with a slight smirk.
"I do think you have improved upon even your perfect skills, my dear. So deadly.....and so beautiful.....you did get the best of nature, didn't you?" He dearly wanted to calm her, to stop her anger. Although it endeared her to him, he didn't need her killing Francis soon. "I just need him alive until this job is done.....then, do what you want to him. But until then, I....we need him alive."
