When the girl stepped up into Aneira's face, Lucian got incredibly defensive and stepped up to rest a hand on her shoulder. He leaned forward so his face was in the face of the girl. “How about you back up there?” He didn't like these people so much. The girl seemed annoying but the older man was obviously the one in charge and he sent Lucian's instincts into code red. There was something about the tautness of his muscles, the way his eyes watched them like he was looking down a prey animal instead of two people he didn't know. He especially didn't like how long the man's eyes lingered on Aneira. Lucian slowly stepped up in front of Aneira, his arms crossing in front of his chest as he put himself as a barrier between them. His green eyes scanned the two in front of them, his body almost as tight and ready to move as the older man in front of him. “Look, like Aneira said, we just need a place to lie low for a bit. We won't be long. We just need a safe place to-” before he could finish his sentence, the older gentleman moved. He was hellishly quick and he grabbed out at Lucian with a outstretched hand, going right for Lucian's throat. Lucian jumped back, almost tripping over Aneria in his attempt to get out of range of the older man. The younger girl ducked under Lucian and dove right for Aneria. “What the fuc-” Lucian cursed as he reached down to try and grab a hold of the girl as she tried to slip past him to go for Aneria. As he directed his attention to the girl, the older man reached out again and grabbed a hold of Lucian's arm and wrenching him back and out of range of the woman. Suddenly, Lucian was moving and fast. The older man was much stronger than he was expecting but before he could even really register what was happening, the man had spun Lucian around and slammed him hard into the wall right next to the door. He used the arm he had a hold of and cranked it behind Lucian's back, causing the angel man to release a loud cry of pain as his face smashed into the wall. There was a harsh burning along his lip and he knew that it was probably split from the hit. Damnit, this man was strong. Things turned into chaos within a moment as Pipper, the border collie, came barreling into the area and dove at the man. She grabbed a hold of his arm and began to thrash her head about harshly as the man released a curse and let go of Lucian so he could get the dog off his arm. Lucian took the chance to push off the wall and use that momentum to get out or range of the older gentleman. He reached up and dragged the back of his hand along his lip, looking down for only a moment to verify that it was indeed bleeding. The man ripped Pipper off his arm and threw the dog to the side. She slid on the ground for a moment before she lowered her head and barred her teeth at the old man. “What the fuck man. Normally people talk shit out before they attack.” He raised his fist and got into a defensive stance, ready for if the man came for him again. All the while, the woman had gone after Aneria. There was a broad grin on her face and her eyes shown golden as she kept her body low. There were vicious looking claws on the end of her fingers and she brought them up in a vicious swipe when she got in range. She kept the attacks coming, one swipe after another. Left hand, right hand, up, right, left. One swipe after the other. She even let out a laugh like she was enjoying herself as she kept the barrage of attacks up. “You're in our territory, pup! Time to leave,” she called out with a laugh before she launched herself at Aneria in an attempt to grapple her and pin her to the ground.
