SAVAGE
MERCURIAL

Sam is nothing if not quick to recover. Sure some kind of wilderness-monster had just burst through the window and sent him on his ass shortly to be followed by what at first had seemed to be little Timmy's harmless shadow but now seemed to be neither harmless or his shadow as... Timmy was no longer anywhere to be seen. 

As he got back on his feet the strange monster seemed to do something to the darkness thing and suddenly it seemed an entity all of its own. He had one moment here to catch his breath, here and he did not squander it. One breath. His mind raced, weaving fast but beautifully intricate cobwebs of manipulation. One breath was all he needed to regain his velvet-smooth voice. This creature didn't know him. This creature was a fresh canvas.

"I thank you for the assistance," Samael began, brushing himself off a little, drawing a hand through his ruffled hair. "I was caught quite off guard. Let me repay you with some advice," he felt exposed being still without a shirt. "The girl, Elodie Faucher, is dangerous. Timothy would not accept my protection against her. Perhaps he will accept yours."
