[table][row][i][b][color=gray]Rin[/color] An Inn, Garleton: Evening[/b][/i][/row][cell] While Rin was unsatisfied with the answer of the stalker, he would have to let it go since his client was already moving away. He definitely made sure to give the man a solid glare as they moved by before returning to his duties as a proper bodyguard. Thankfully the day passed by uneventfully, the money they made was enough to pay for lodging and food at the local inn in town. Rin would have insisted they share a room, but he knew that the client required privacy due to their opposite genders and basic societal courtesies. It annoyed him to no end, but he would have to accept the risk for the happiness of the client. He entered his room and looked around, it was unimpressive. Not that it needed to be, simply having a bed was already a step up from the bedroll on hard dirt he usually slept in. He set aside his spear and lay down in bed, not bothering to take off his armor as he stared at the ceiling. It was still early, much too early to be sleeping. A yawn escaped Rin's lips regardless, the day finally catching up to him as he stretched his legs out. Perhaps if he closed his eyes... just for a minute... [b][color=hotpink]"Rin! Something seems to be happening outside! I apologize for the interruption but please accompany me!"[/color][/b] Rin's eyes snapped open, curses tumbling out his lips as he scrambled out of bed and grabbed his spear. [color=gray]"Sumire stop! You can't go outside without accompaniment, it defeats the purpose of a bodyguard!"[/color] He heard the chaos outside, the screams as people were cut down by god knows what. And his client was going to run off into that chaos by herself with no protection. The door was a suboptimal path, luckily Rin had been given a room with a view. He smashed open the window with his spear, leaping through and ignoring the broken glass that cut up his clothing. He looked left, then right, spotting Sumire exiting the inn and running into [b]that man.[/b] [color=gray]"This is why I eliminate threats to client safety early, this girl is making me too soft-"[/color] He muttered to himself as he ran towards the duo, ready to skewer the man before he could lay a finger on her. A flash of light exploded from Sumire's hands, knocking away a bandit that Rin had barely noticed in his singleminded focus on the stalker. Shame welled in his heart, but he squashed it down as he focused on the situation as a whole. There was no time as an arrow fired near Sumire, barely missing her and embedding itself into the doorway. Rin had closed the distance by now, moving in between Rin and the stalker as he fired a bolt of lightning at the archer who was attacking. [color=gray]"We need to get out of here right now."[/color] He called upon his knowledge of the town, mind going a mile a minute as he thought about the most well defended points of interest. [color=gray]"We're going to the castle, there will be no arguments."[/color] He appraised the mage who Sumire had defended for some pointless reason. [color=gray]"You will be coming with us."[/color] Rin determined that a larger group would be optimal, more bodies to put in between harm and the client.
