[undistracted]

Treize walked through the streets of the village at a brisk yet unhurried pace, his sword at his side. It was a quaint little place, he thought, very Old European. Or at least, he suspected that would be the case were it light out.

He hadn't seen any of the creatures that the young man had warned him about, though he had heard things that made him inclined to not doubt the boy's sincerity. Still, that didn't mean he had to run like a coward. If any of them attacked them, well, Treize would face them like a warrior.

He was, after all, already dead. What was the worst that could happen?

Treize glimpsed a flicker of light through the other buildings - that must have been the tavern - and made his way to the structure, rapping on the door smartly with white-gloved knuckles once he'd reached it.

Raven heard the knock and froze. Were those creatures really that polite?

"We don't want any!" he yelled.

Maybe it would go away?

Belatedly he thought maybe he should have just kept his yap shut so it could have gone away.

And no, Raven was still too focused on the fact that there those creatures still outside to even think of the possibility of a person to be there.

Treize stood still, almost amused at the voice he'd heard from inside. "Is that so? I'd been told that this was a safe-house meant for people to congregate." And learn more about this strange place, he added silently. "Was that mistaken?"

Raven blinked.

"Wait...huh?"

He slowly opened the door just a smidgen and looked...and well whaddaya know.

"Sorry pal," Raven said as he opened the door, looking past the man. It didn't seem like the creature was there but... "Come on in. And the faster the better. Seems like our troubles have increased ten-fold."
