From what she had been told, these women were in need of a bit of comfort and support. Being sent a mysterious letter about a family member’s safety, or lack thereof, was far from ideal. Eliza’s eyes briefly wandered over the scenery of the inn. Cozy. Nothing like her past haunts. Then again, that was probably a goo- Before she could complete her train of thought, one of the women surged toward them. She seemed a bit frazzled, holding an air of urgency about her. Eliza stuck out a hand in greeting, cocking her head toward her companions so she could introduce them all. That was when she took note of Colin… Her eyes darted between Colin and Kate, tension taking claim of the space between her shoulders. She dropped the hand she had offered to the girl who had to be Meg, ready to walk over to Colin and attempt to diffuse the situation. Before she could make a move, Kate had charged. Eliza’s immediate reaction was to stand, shocked, as they rushed out the door and into the pouring rain. It took her a moment to register Meg’s words, and by then Nyssa was already out the door. Confusion drained out of her system in an instant when she realized the vampire had given chase, replaced by irritation and a tinge of horror. Was Nyssa going to hurt their clients? More importantly, was she going to hurt Colin? Eliza gave Meg a tired frown, before busting out the door behind her. She stood in the rain, watching the scene unfold. Her jaw went slack as she watched the vampire slam Colin to the floor, and for a moment she was concerned that Nyssa had given into her ways. She pumped her feet, panic clouding her mind. She hesitated as she neared, close enough to hear Nyssa berating, but not attacking, Colin. Chest heaving, Eliza listened to the remainder of Nyssa’s heated speech with a heavy sigh. She supposed it was right of Nyssa to be against Kate’s action, but was a threat really necessary? And what was this about a lover’s quarrel? Goddess, Colin had some explaining to do. After she helped him recover, of course. Scrambling towards him, Eliza cast Nyssa her most stern motherly look, as if scolding her for pushing her brother. She reached out to take Colin’s hand and help him to his feet. She wished to wipe the mud off of his cloak, but she’d assist him in laundering it later.

She’s our client, Colin, you can’t run away like a frightened animal.”[/color]
