[Blade Master Model 42]

Satisfied for the moment that nothing was about to happen, Valor leaned back against his headboard, his grip loosening slightly on the sword. It was late... He needed to get some rest.

[Haspen]

It wasn't long till he heard the same sound again - this time, a bit louder.

And when he opened his eyes... he saw a silhouette of a man, standing at the parapet outside the window, and the moonlight shone onto metal tip of crossbow bolt pointed at Seyena!

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor leapt at the window, sword in hand, hoping the blade would be able to catch the bolt so his guts wouldn't have to.

[Haspen]

@Valor:

The window crashed when the bolt was let loose and pierced the glass, and then it smashed into Valor's left thigh - the man turned slightly and missed his original target, startled by Valor's leap. The ruckus was heard by everyone in the neighbourhood but the quiet 'fuck' was heard only by Valor.

Dogs began to bark and growl in the nearby houses as the man jumped down into the allyes and Valor crashed onto Seyena's face, bleeding profusely.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor growled in pain, teeth set together to keep himself from howling at the top of his lungs. On the plus side, mission accomplished!

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris entered the room as soon as he heard the glass shatter.

"Damn, I should've expected him to come from the window..."

He looked through the remains of the window for the attacker.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor propped himself up, tenderly holding the bolt sticking out of his leg. "I think the guy got away. He jumped down, I think. Not sure, I was a little distracted."

[Haspen]

@Chrisvalor:

Chris could see the assailant start running from crouching positon - she must have just landed - his moving silhouette barely noticeable as the moon got covered partially with thick clouds.

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena was quite obviously awake by this point, having been too surprise to call out, yet a small, bone-handled knife was in her hand, and a trickle of blood was starting to drip from her nose. She looked over the scene with mild shock.

"Valor? Are you alright- You're bleeding!" She dropped the knife, reaching around blindly for her staff.

[Sirus]

The noise managed to shake Gregor from his slumber...somewhat. Enough to notice Charlotte already awake, anyways.

"Whass goin' on?" he slurred.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris took a potshot at the fleeing assailant.

"Seyena, you can heal Valor, right?"

He watched the wo/man flee, unsure which it was due to shifting pronouns the low visibility conditions, and reloaded his crossbow.

"You may not be the only person they're going after. I'm going to check the other rooms."

Chris left and looked in on each room in turn, starting with Gregor and Charlotte.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor still had his teeth grit together, but tried to force a smile anyway. "Ungh. It's alright. He just got my leg. Nothing that can't be healed." Valor brought his face a little closer to Seyena to make up for the dim light. "Hey, is your nose bleeding? Do you feel alright?"

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena quickly wiped the blood away.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, it seems like you fell on me. Regardless, we need to take care of the bolt first. Come on, sit on the bed and prop up your leg." Seyena muttered the last part as she stood up, rummaging for the staff in the corner of the room.

[Sirus]

If the sound of attempted assassination hadn't woken Gregor up, his friend barging into the room definitely did.

"Chris?! What the hell...?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Not much time to explain. Assassin tried to shoot Seyena, hit Valor in the leg, she's taking care of him, I'm checking on everyone. You two seem to be OK, so I'm moving on, but I'll be back in a bit. Yell if you need me."

Chris closed the door after him and went to Tantallos's room next to check on his lord.
