Blood On the Floor

[^~*{Eurina}*~^]

She sweeped in through the heavy wooden doors and weaved between the poorly cleaned and loaded tables of men, them almost constantly having a large jug of rum tipped over their mouths with loud, drunken laughs followed. At a sudden moment a sickening blow of knuckle to bone shoots above all noises, followed by a crash of a turned over table. Two drunken men lunged at eachother with tight fists, almost every send being met to the face or upper torso. People crouded and roared at the fight, cheering as the wild men threw eachother at every direction, blood spraying from teeth and nostrils. She watched, completetly silent and still, eyes jumping to every hit and fall.

Ryse spotted the woman sweep through the doors as if she owned the place. That annoyed her- Ryse did NOT take kindly to people who acted superior to all others, even if they truly were. She would have to watch this one, this woman who watched the nearby brawl with a expert eye.

Ryse quietly rose from her seat against the back wall and stealthily stepped over drunken men and broken glass on the floor as she neared the strange woman's table.

Eyes were fixed and still among the brutal fight, tranced and drowned in a whirlpool of her brain. Infact, her thoughts weren't even connected or contributed to the brawl in anyway, closed out from all things about her, as if she were playing an addicting and mind controling game. Her foot hung from one of the stool bars, swinging like a pendulum, seemingly ticking off the time of the fight. The air was poluted with the scent and feel of violance and excitement, but she felt in her own bubble, solitude. Her arm was propped up on the bar with her chin set apon it, her weight shifted forward. She toyed with her oil smooth lower lip absent-mindedly, hair spilled over her shouders.

Ryse was almost to the strange woman when she suddenly felt eyes watching her. Not just watching, but piercing. Piercing eyes that could to see all the way to what lay in her heart. She whirled around, out of instinct, and her own eyes sought out the person who could see her. Truly see her.

A woman, eyes fixed on the brawl, sat swinging her foot on a stool. She seemed absorbed in the fight- it couldn't have been her who had the gift of sterlsje, the gift of seeing another's soul. Nor could it be the tall, heavily-tanned man sitting on the stool next to the woman. It had to be the one to the right of the woman.

The man had blond hair that came to his shoulders and warm brown eyes. He was watching the fight with much intensity. Every once in a while, his eyes would swing around the room and focus on someone, before returning to the brawl.

Ryse continued to the first woman, the arrogant one, hoping that the blond man wouldn't watch her again.

"Who be you that you come in here acting all high and mighty? Eh?" She hissed in the woman's ear, dagger out and at the ready.

[^~*{Eurina}*~^]

She gasped lightly at the sudden blast of noise that impacted her eardrums, turning her head, eyes meeting.

"Oh, um. What?" She said with a slight slant in her brows from confuseion. Than her eyes shifted down to the dagger the women grasped in her hand. Her eyes balanced between the woman's and the weapon, noticing she did something wrong, but not knowing what she did exactly to cause such hostility from this lady.

"I'm not here to fight, miss. I apologize for whatever I angered you with"

Her mind was reasoning whether to go ahead and draw her own dagger (which was tucked tight under a fold of her skirt) or to just stay out of it, not knowing the point of such an act, and not really being in the mood from what occured about an hour or so ago, which sent her to this unpredictable place.

(OOC)

Ok, this is very confuseing. >< I made two profiles to have two characters. Khade and Eurina are mine. I must of been accidently signed into Khade when I posted my second post; It was intended to be Eurina who posted that, not Khade. Sorry for the mix! x.x

"Oh. Um, what?" Ryse nearly hissed when the woman acted so confused. Something about her irked Ryse to no end.

"I'm not here to fight, miss. I apologize for whatever I angered you with."

Ryse withdrew her dagger and glared at the woman for a full minute before turning away and going to sit down, still simmering from the waft of helplessness and superiority coming from her.

[^~*{Eurina}*~^]

She stared back in silence, her eyes were a bit struck, but calm. She grappled a bottom corner of her shirt and jerked it down some, trying to hide her bruises, and keeping her wounded leg turned towards the bar's wall, out of view. She moved her eyes off the woman's before her's broke, showing a sign of not wanting to fight, yet not sending a signal of submission; all played out in some odd type of mixing. Nor violance nor peace.

As she watched the woman turn and leave her, she turned her head back to the brawl, it was over. The defeated man staggered away, his mouth gushed with blood at the gums where teeth used to fit, his filthy shirt torn. The defeater leaned weakly against the bar support, slideing the back of his hand across the blood his broken nose drew off, the right side of one of his eyes swelled into a ball. She looked away from it all and nestled her face in her hands, letting a muffled sigh slip from her lips. She whispered quietly to herself, her mouth moveing as if someone were feeding the words to her.

"He won't bother... Just let it go."

One of the fighters was knocked uncountious by the other who started braging.

A hooded man stood up, walked over to the man and threw a powerul punch that knocked th man down on his face. The man gt up and tryed to return the blow but the hooded man caught his wrist and in one swift motion and an autable snap broke his wrist. Then he punched the man in the side of the head and he fell to the ground limp and uncountious. he went back to his seat unscathed only to be approached by a man.
