<i>Thump</i>the sound of splintering wood was hard to miss. Slowly, he stood and turned to face the direction of the noise seeing a woman making her way down the hall with a sword  drawn evidently looking for something or something. Did she really expect to find it by wantonly kicking in every-door to the entire town? Though he expected that she must have had her reasons and judging by her appearance she had apparently just survived  the mutant attack. The common room was  growing louder as more and more people began to flood the Inn’s interior  taking up shelter within one of the few remaining structures.  Gray hues scanned the halls quickly noting the people that were entering – he had fully intended to return to the battle once he had ensured that the<i>girl</i>had been safe and that he was  able to leave her without worry, leaving the key  was  merely a way to protect her more from the other patrons than from any mutants  which might have stumbled upon the inn  as he did not think they would have any reservations  about  breaking in a few doors to get at the occupants inside.<br/><br/>“Hell of a way to search for someone.” He replied simply as he erected himself though he had made no moves towards his own sword. Little  did she know, the one that she had just described was lounging behind door  number three. His own clothing were remarkably  less bloodied – if more than a little worn. In fact there was not a shred of blood on him despite his own encounter and judging by the people  that were now returning from the square it seemed that he had missed the remainder of the battle, and there was little need for him to go rushing out not to join the fray, his gaze  focused upon her once more. This<i>girl</i>that he  had rescued becoming more and more troubling  by the moment, first the guards and now Celim.<br/><br/>“I believe, I may have seen her.” He motioned towards the; she had been the only one matching that description after all and he was beginning  to regret having discarded – not that the door posed a real obstacle, but he did not feel like having to pay to get it fixed should it come down to it. “I brought someone unconscious, matching that description just inside. Unfortunately - I have left my Key in their care. I take it the battle is already over?” he pushed himself away from the door, allowing her to have her way with it.
