As James ripped his blade out of the final mercenary, he took a second to look back across the blood-soaked graveyard. Bodies were dotted between the headstones, littered with a multitude of slashes, stabs and even a few electrical burns. He thought back to a few minutes ago.

As Elyra and Razer retreated to the caravan with the others covering them, James had remained behind. Dealing with the last three mercenaries was child's play, but he wanted to make sure that no more enemies were still standing. As such, he stood alone, surrounded by death. The silence didn't last long as another, smaller group of mercenaries soon arrived and James met them blade on blade, alone.

He pulled himself from his thoughts as he looked down at himself. Blood was splattered across his clothes and coated his swords, even as the magic flames danced and coiled, and he could even feel it on his face. He deactivated the magic mechanism to look at the blades before he let them fall to his sides with a hollow laugh. [color=darkred]'So much for being a good person, eh Elyra?'[/color]. Roughly pulling off a rag from the torn clothing of one of the cleaner corpses, he wiped the blood from his weapons and re-sheathed them. Wiping what blood he could from his body, he tossed the rag down and began to walk back in the direction of the Inn.

When he arrived, he didn't see any of the others. Regardless, he paid for his room and removed his weapons, tossing them onto the bed along with his singular arm plates before he noticed that he didn't have his supplies. He slipped off his blood-stained coat before glaring at the small blood stains on his trousers, but nonetheless stepped out of his room and clicked the door shut behind him. Guessing Elyra probably picked them up for him, he got her room from the Innkeeper and tapped the back of his knuckles against her door as he waited for an answer.

[color=darkred]"Elyra? It's James. Have you got my supplies?"[/color]
