The masked man took a half step forward, his cold eyes analysing every movement she made, the little step back, the rise and fall of her chest, the wild look in her eyes, he recognised it all. Yet, it never lasted this long... The memory of Israfil's voice echoed in the back of his head, almost like a warning, Kill the girl. The father lives. He blinks, slowly, not afraid to stop watching her briefly any longer, satisfied she was caught in the trap now, that she couldn't escape.
"Names are a powerful thing... Miss Fairbanks..." He whispers after a few seconds, letting her request hang in the air in silence. "But they will not save you now, so your question is futile and pointless." He stretches out the 's's at the end of his sentences, like before. A contract is a contract... Not to be broken... Israfil's training still stuck deep within him, and he moves quickly, wrapping his hands around the hilts of the blades and drawing them, taking three quick steps forward, raising the right blade, lowering the left for a quick jab... But then, he hesitates.
