Raula put away her parasol. Such thoughts were out of place where there was so much left of it to go. It was still possible for them to meet, yet even then she wasn't sure if that was what she wanted. No, now wasn't the time to get lost in the thoughts of pointless scenarios that had nothing to do with the present. She was escaping; [b]is[/b] escaping. That was what she had decided to do, and she was going to finish that first, before moving on to other topics. Raula took in hand the hammer she stole and pressed the head of it flat against her palm. The battle behind her had seem to come to its close and she could hear the charging of what could only be one of the wolves. A hit of terror as she cursed herself for being distracted with personal affairs and tightened the grip around her weapon. The vampire would turn around too late; hearing the rabid snarls of the beast run up through the tunnels to mere feet behind her in seconds flat. She was prepared to swing her hammer around regardless. To fight back the beast despite the blow she was sure to take and hope for the best. But instead her hammer fell; slipping out of her grasp in her surprise. A black veil standing between her and the wolf, now with a sword sliding into the mass. A strike that would've likely severely harmed her at best had the other shadow not intervened; possibly saving her life. She would stand there, a few moments to compose herself as she watched the sword slip out and the shadow take shape. A man forming to reveal a rather well put together monster given the state of this prison. She remained silent, letting the man talk and beat the dog into its place. A bit shy to speak once he started to converse with her but quickly regaining her venomous tone once the dog spoke once more. [color=PaleVioletRed]"How bold of a mutt like you to speak so crudely in your position. I'd imagine you'd be better begging to offer any information you had than to spit poor words to those with a leash around your neck."[/color] As calm as Raula's words left her mouth; she was still quite surprised herself at the man appearing from darkness the same as her. [color=PaleVioletRed]"I don't see how any of their kind can be of any useful rank, save for the fact they're all just mindless, raging brutes. Perhaps this was simply the best of them. Though, if any of them would know anything; it would probably be this one. And perhaps the only one we'll be able to get anything from."[/color] Walking around the side of the man, she eyed him with great interest. Keeping the dog in view at all times, but confident he was keeping it held down safely. [color=PaleVioletRed]"I don't remember seeing you down there with the rest of the fleeing prisoners. But you have my thanks. It could've ended badly had you not saved me."[/color] Clearing her throat, she turned towards the dog. Picking up her hammer and swinging idly in circles to get used to its weight. [color=PaleVioletRed]"Did you want me to take a crack at this dog? To see what he knows? I suppose I owe you more; though, I don't have much to offer as of right now."[/color]
