[ Oblivious to the commotion taking place, Martel was seated snugly in an armchair, reading a book. The book was later gently rested on her lap as she made a content glance out the window. Yes, she was in utter peace . . .

At least she was until she saw two blurred figures, one wearing a black jacket and another chasing after him with a door while roaring at the top of his lungs. It took awhile for her to process what she saw, but it didn't take long for her to decide to stop them.

Setting the book onto the table, she rushed out of the door and chased after the two men. ]

Wait! Whatever it is that you're two are arguing about, I'm sure we can talk this through! There's no need to resort to violence!

[ Izaya being the way he is, he will at least pay some mind to large obstructions. And people-sized obstructions too.

Oh, it took this long for someone in Luceti to try and stop Shizuo? Izaya is silently amused by this, and he stops once he feels he's in a good enough spot. A spot that is somewhere a few feet from the girl who started chasing them, and a lot of feet away from Shizuo. As many as he could get.

Izaya puts on a serious, if pained, face. ] You might want to stand back. That guy... he's not someone you can reason with, with words like that.

[action]

[seraphgoddess]

[ Not one to risk anything, she steps right in front of the black-haired man in case the blond was planning on throwing the door. She's not sure what was going but she can at least tell who had the advantage and disadvantage.

Of course that doesn't mean she's jumping to conclusions. She's a fair person and willing to hear things out, anything to avoid physical conflict. ]

Nonsense! We can work this out. Just please, the both of you, calm down. Sir, you can also put down that door if you'd please.

[ She keeps a nice calm smile on her face as if everything was right with the world. Yep, she enjoys viewing the world in a positive way. ]

[ unfortunately for martel, the door was already on it's way out of his hands. it's only after he's already chucked it that he realizes there is a woman in the way and despite a desperate grab, it's too far gone. ]

[bocchi]

[ Nice face you have there, Shizu-chan.

But whatever. It doesn't matter what you just did (or maybe it's for the best?), because Izaya's behind Martel. And, no, it isn't because she'll be his human shield. It matters because this is an excellent chance for Izaya to...

Well, just watch and see, will you? It's no fun if you get to hear everything. ] Watch out! [ Did you hear that concern? That worry? Ahh, he's so good at that, when he wants to be!

This is Izaya grabbing Martel. This is Izaya pushing the two of them to the ground to dodge the door. This is Izaya turning them around before they fall so he lands underneath her and takes the brunt of the ground-slam. Such a gentleman. ]

[action]

[seraphgoddess]

[ Her face turns paper white as she watches the door soar right towards her. She's so busy bracing herself she barely hears Izaya's warning. It wasn't until she's thrown to the ground and the sound of him taking the full brunt of the fall she realizes that she's saved. She gives herself a few moments to fully process what happened before getting off of Izaya and giving him a feeble but grateful smile. ]

T-thank you!

[ She glances at Shizuo. ] Are you alright?

[action]

[moezuo]

[ what the hell? why is she- shizuo takes a halfstep forward, clenching his fists. he can't be thankful towards izaya for this - this was izaya's doing. if it weren't for him then he wouldn't be angry and he wouldn't be using violence.

so clearly he needs to get rid of him so he won't have to use it again. ]

Move.

[action]

[seraphgoddess]

[ Her smile fell. She pushes herself up and deliberately blocks Shizuo's way to Izaya. Her voice comes out calmly with a bit of a motherly tone in it. ]

I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Not unless you calm yourself first.

[action]

[bocchi]

[ Meanwhile Izaya will watch this. He's kind of interested to see how this gets handled. Knowing Shizuo, he'll probably try to hit the girl again at some point.

Hmm. ]

[action]

[moezuo]

I don't like hitting girls, so move!

[ and he doesn't want to at all. but he's angry and he never thinks clearly when he's this mad. ]

[action]

[seraphgoddess]

[ Most people would have already moved at this point but not her. ]

But if I do you'll hurt this man!

[action]

[bocchi]

[ ... this isn't going anywhere, is it? And he doesn't like the look of this situation either. Inwardly Izaya sighs. Outwardly? Outwardly this is where Izaya steps up and lightly touches the girl's shoulder. He smiles at her reassuringly. ] Miss, would you mind if I interrupt for a moment?

It's not like I don't want him to stop chasing me, but... I told you before, right? This guy can't be swayed by words. And I can't let you get hurt on my account. [ pause ]

... so I think this is where we should part ways! It's better that you don't try to follow us from this point on. [ The next two sentences are only loud enough for Martel to hear. ] I don't think you want to see the kind of things that guy is capable of. ... hopefully, I'll see you again. [ With a SAD SMILE, Izaya runs a bit to the side and waves excitedly at Shizuo. ] Yo, Shizu-chan! Follow me! [ And he's running off again. ]

[action]

[seraphgoddess]

[ A look of awe and shock appeared on her face. Hopefully? Was he intending to die just to protect her, someone he doesn't even know? Right as she reached out to him, he slipped away from her grasp and was on the run again. ]

Wait!
