Dalton looked over his shoulder at Alice with a somewhat conflicted look on his face,"I hate to tell you," he said,"but now isn't the best time to be hysterical about ruined clothing of all things. And as for you slipping back inside, well...I hate to put it this way, [b]but your not going anywhere."[/b] Dalton continued to looked back at Alice, golden eyes gleaming in the night as he stared into her. Across the balcony, Liam shoved Thomas back and off balance, then made a slicing motion with the knife at Thomas's throat. Thomas leaned back abruptly, barely avoiding the blade's tip. He then immediately leapt forward, seeing an opening, but Liam was quicker, he gave a powerful kick into Thomas's midsection and sent him staggering far backward, nearly falling. Aleera rejoined Thomas at his side, the wound on her arm already closing up, though her arm was still spattered with blood. They both leapt forward simultaneously at Liam, slightly disorienting him. Aleera caught his left hand with both hands and twisted it around with a sharp [i]crack[/i], with a resulting snarl from Liam. Thomas grabbed his right wrist nearby and snapped it backward, fracturing the bones within with a sickening crackling of bones. Liam hissed and snarled as he struggled to pull away from them with no avail. His knife fell from his hand and clattered to the floor with a metallic [i]clank.[/i] Aleera then immediately stomped down on Liam's left ankle, rolling it over and aollying her Vampiric strength to break Liam's ankle, resulting in a sharp cry from him as he collapsed to his knees. Thomas then kicked Liam hard in the face, breaking his nose in a spray of blood and knocking him backward onto the floor. Thomas then stomped down on Liam's midsection, applying enough pressure to make squirm in discomfort. While Dalton stayed in front of Alice, Thomas and Aleera stood over Liam, Thomas's foot grinding harshly into Liam's midsection. Liam growled as he looked up from the floor at them,"Can't a man enjoy a night on the town without you lot interrupting his fun?" "Shut up." Snapped Thomas, glaring down at Liam, eyes narrowed thinly.
