[b][color=aba000][h3]Andreim[/h3][/color][/b] He had prepared himself to engage a potential threat in the corridor alongside his comerades. But his focus had been disrupted by the timely intervention of Lise. Her sudden grab of his arm caused him to drop the water to the floor, thankfully it was just a minor amount. [b][color=aba000]"Ahh.. uhm..."[/color][/b] He was collecting himself and swallowed, steadying himself and making sure he would not stutter. [b][color=aba000]"Don't worry, Lady Valois-Saint-Remy. I will take care of any hinderances ahead."[/color][/b] Andreim gave her a determined look followed by a soft nod with his head to his side. He would have blushed if he could. [i][color=aba000]Damn.. why must she be so detestably cute. I really need to focus now. This could get bad. This guy looks like he could tear up the entire corridor and my powers won't be ideal in this tight place. None will get to her. Not as long as I draw breath I will not let anyone lay their dirty hands on this goddess. I shall win this royal rumble in the end.[/color][/i] [b][color=6ecff6][h3]Vittorio[/h3][/color][/b] Having had his gaze on the group before him he began to answer them. [b][color=6ecff6]"I too. Be short on time. I will not stop you. You have been of great help to me. Katherine."[/color][/b] His tentacle like wings in motion as he stood still a distance away from them. No more images of his friends or family accompanying him. [b][color=6ecff6]"A sister is still a sister. No matter force she aligns herself with. Wouldn't you do all in your power to save her from harm? I for one would have wanted to do that. But I could not. You at least have the means. My reasons for being here be my own and I am indeed alone. I have been alone for what feels like an eternity." [/color][/b] Vittorio raised one of his spectral looking hands and tightened it into a fist. [b][color=6ecff6]"Hurt me? It would be nothing compared to the hurt I feel now, I doubt you could understand it. The lost students you seek. I do not know where they are. Not on this floor though. Not those students you seek in any case. Some be beyond saving, while others be not."[/color][/b] He allowed a soft but foreboding smile to form on his spectral looking face. [b][color=6ecff6]"Watch your steps, students of St.Laurel."[/color][/b] Vittorio offered a courteus bow with one arm behind his back as his tentacles grabbed hold of the floor, walls and ceiling and then pushing him up towards the ceiling in high speed. But before he reach it he would go incorporeal to try pass through it to appear on the floor above. But where? He did not yet know. Who knows what lurked up here. But at least he knew he was not alone up here. Clara and Bak had already made their way up.
