`"I also heard something about a battle of some sorts by the rift I don't know much about it I know the military here is keeping it secret."`
Kasey
`"It probably does not involve us, their conflicts are not our conflicts, after all. So long as we stay away from the rift, we will be safe, for the most part, anyway."`
Curtis
`"Your right it doesn't involve us. Either way I surrendered my right to any of that stuff the moment I surrendered my sword. How far to your friend hm?"`

*He asked as he was wondering if he had gotten to big of an estate for them.*
Kasey
`"Right over here, this is what I wanted to show you. I know you are skilled in fighting, but today, you will learn a brand new skill."`

*She opened a door and led him into a unique room: an art studio.*
Curtis
*Walks with her as the enter the art studio he was beyond confused he was filled with more questions then answers*

`"What is this place for...?"`
Kasey
`"Relaxation, mostly. This art studio will help you learn how to be creative instead of destructive. Come here, let me teach you."`

*She left him to an area meant for painting portraits and landscapes. There were canvases set up on easels, and little jars of paint in various colors.*
Curtis
*He walks beside her and then takes a seat he thought this was silly she wanted a buff muscular guard to paint? He sighs softly and decides to give it a try*
Kasey
*She pulled off her silk gloves and put on an apron to keep her dress from getting dirty. Very soon, she was standing in front of her canvas, letting her mind wander as she worked, her brushes gliding across the smooth, white surface.*
Adam
*The Ghost sitting upon the estate rooftop figured he would catch her off guard or keep her on edge. He aimed his throwing knife at her turned back. He felt out the wind direction and threw the knife with high precision and skill. As soon as he released the knife he fled to the other side of the rooftop out of sight.*
Curtis
*Listens to the wind as the knife was hurling towards her he turned and grabbed the knife with his hand as it sliced his hand open and his fingers the knife was going straight to her back the blade stopped less then an inch from her skin he speaks softly.*

`"You got any enemies?"`

*He says softly as his hand had blood pouring out from it.*
Kasey
*Makimi dropped her paint brushes on the ground and ran over to where her bag was sitting. She found a roll of bandages and quickly patched up his hand, trying her very best to keep herself calm. How could she let this happen?*

`"Just the one. I knew he was fond of surprise attacks, but... I did not think you would get hurt instead."`
Curtis
*He squeezes the knife before dropping it as she began to patch his hand up he winces in pain as she wraps it*

`"That attack could have severely hurt you, he is well trained whoever that's is I almost missed in my catch."|

*He pulls his hand close to his chest as the bandages began to get coated in his red blood.*
Kasey
*She tightened the wraps and fastened them in place, sighing.*

`"This is all my fault. If I had chosen not to fight him, you would never have gotten hurt. I cannot let anything else happen to you."`
Curtis
`"I thought you said he was a sparring partner? Do sparring partners try to kill you? It isn't your fault you wouldn't have know it isn't to bad."`

*He lied he almost lost his fingers to that catch.*
Kasey
`"He is not really my sparring partner, he is a career killer. I know I should have told you the truth, but you would have called me mad if I told you that I was trying to... Well, it does not matter anymore. He is dead to me."`
Curtis
`"You let a career killer into the estate you may have put all of your family even yourself in danger. Well I'm sure you have your reasons my lady I'm just worried about your safety is all."`

*He smiles softly he wasn't mad at her at all he kept calm*
Kasey
`"I do not care about my own safety, I care about the safety of those close to me, including you."`

*She hugged him close, then marched out of the room, knife firmly in hand.*
Curtis
*He hugs her back then looks towards the painting and began to continue to paint the way she taught him*
Kasey
*Makimi stalked the empty halls, searching for any sign of the man who had just injured her friend.*
Adam
*She would find nothing. The Ghost had sent a message, it would only be a matter of time before he sent another.*
Kasey
*Having found nothing, she went up to her room and sat out on the balcony, staring out at the land.*

`"What the hell have I gotten myself into?"`
Curtis
*After finishing the painting which was just a bunch of lines as he didn't know what to do he sighs and stands up before going on a walk to his personal room he walks down the pathway quietly.*
Antoine
*After entering his room he takes off his helmet and lays down on his bed revealing his face he only ever showed his face in private... Well only he has seen his face no one else has ever got to see the real him ever since he was selected to become a red guard member when he was 14.*
Adam
*The Ghost would bide his time waiting in the shadows. Let them mull over themselves about the situation. He would make his next move when a opportunity makes an appearance.*
Antoine
*Placed his hurt hand over his stomach and decided to fall asleep*
Kasey
*Makimi was so stressed out that she fell asleep while she was sitting in her chair on the balcony.*
Adam
*Night had fallen. The Ghost's ideal time for his activities. He would be on the rooftop of the estate looking for victims to begin his hunt.*
