The man's progress was not halted in the slightest as he continued his slow advance forward. The man kept his eyes on Gareth as he advanced towards the now endangered Sophia. The man raised his long swords up, ever so slightly, as he did so, "Hand over the princess." The man said once more, with the same tone he had used before, not even slightly concerned as it seemed. The man seemed to have no intention of playing a bargaining game with Eva for Sophia. It could not be determined if he simply was calling out Eva's decision, or it just didn't matter to him. The man stopped, a mere 5 feet from Sophia and Eva before speaking once more, "I will kill all three of you." The man slowly raised his longsword, leveling it towards Eva's head. The words echoed out across the garden, as the man stood absolutely still, shifting his glance from Gareth, to Eva.
