P. Lovecraft[/i][/center] [hr] [center][@Lady Selune][@psych0pomp][/center] The green eyes of Mister Violet watched the silent apology of [b][color=#cc00cc]Renee Bellerose[/color][/b], but he barely reacted. The brief moment of the mask slipping, the brief glimpse at something more behind the glowing smile, had passed. He took another long drag from his cigarette as his gaze danced between Renee and [b][color=ac2100]Moses Reaves[/color][/b] as they talked. The smile didn't falter. As his two new companions seemed to agree to his suggestion, Mister Violet nodded slightly, gesturing Moses forward as the other man went to lead the way. [b]"Please, be my guest. Let us hope that your faith shows us the way."[/b] As Moses turned, and began to walk further along the path, Mister Violet took a final deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, before letting it fall to the ground, grinding it into the mud with one foot as he glanced across at Renee. There was a spark in his eye, but Renee still struggled to read the man. There was something about him that she couldn't put her finger on. He seemed friendly enough, and he made for a more willing conversationalist than the wary Deacon Grey, but something about his smile, or those green eyes, or the layer of mud on his shoes, something felt off. Out of place. Dangerous. Renee's scrutiny was broken by Mister Violet's voice, and an arm offered in her direction. [b]"It would be an honour to ensure that you remain unsurprised, Mademoiselle. For now, I suggest we stay close to the good Deacon. They say there is safety in numbers after all."[/b]
