"No. Nooo. I'm good thanks." Mary raised her hands defensively at Eve's little addition to the 'compliments' given. She sure as hell didn't want to be anywhere near those<span style="font-style: italic">things</span>, whatever they were, and swinging that axe had given her about a month's worth of exercise as-is. When she left to continue wrecking the beasts alongside the terrifying fire horse, Mary started to back into the library. She felt much less threatened by books and creepy decor than she did by the monsters having a party on the lawn.<br/><br/>Before she could escape to the relative safety of indoors, one of said monsters decided to come along and check her out. She stopped moving when Aamu's face got close to her, pursing her lips worriedly when she got even closer. "I, uh. Got my mom's looks," Mary explained with a weak shrug. "Genetics. How do they work." Internally, she was screaming, but she at least managed to keep some form of levelheadedness in the demon's wake. And for some reason, she got curious enough to reach up and give Aamu a poke on the 'cheek,' or at least the lower part of the mask that stretched to the side.<br/><br/>As Joe and Eve cleared up their groups of hollows, Salem got back into the fray to take out the few he had left. The first few were quickly decapitated, but for the last one, he faked it out by obnoxiously yelping "Boo!" at it. The thing flinched just enough to let him move forward and finish up. The mark on his hand let out a warm tingle, and as he looked at it, he let out a deep breath. "That was fun."<br/><br/>Solomon remained quiet as he was swung around, since being heard clearly at such a distance was unlikely, and after the four or so undead were slain, requested to be let go. Salem tossed him into the air, and while up there, he took his gargoyle shape again and flew towards Aamu. He intended to land on her head, but if she wasn't currently solid enough to touch, he'd just flop through her and slam into the ground. Regardless of his perching attempt's end results, he finally answered her.<br/><br/>"Sort of. The 'mayor' around these parts put down a rebellious display closer to the inner city. Nowhere in the outskirts, but it wouldn't be a long walk if we took a few shortcuts. I know that he'd captured at least a few demons. Assuming any of them are still alive, I'm sure at least one would be willing to lend a hand," The gargoyle explained. He looked at Mary, who in turn looked at him, and casually waved a hand. She returned the greeting, looking just as baffled as when she'd first come outside.
