Mary tightened her grip on the axe reflexively when Eve approached, and when she started speaking to her, she sort of locked up. Oh no, someone she'd never met before was trying to initiate a conversation. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but only managed to force out an "Uhh," unsure of exactly what to say. There were no wounds on her, so physically, she was fine. But the whole situation was very much not 'all right.' "I..think," She finally mumbled out, turning her eyes away from Eve for a moment.<br/><br/>When Joe spoke to her, she narrowed her eyes at him, giving him a look that demanded explanation. Her glare then went to Salem, who had stopped swinging Solomon around to stare at the doorway in surprise. The two locked eyes for a few moments, until an approaching hollow decided to run towards Mary. In what was pure instinct, she swung the axe, making contact with the undead's head. The blade cleaved into its skull and got stuck, and the hollow backed away, patting at the weapon in an attempt to grab it and pull it out. Now empty<br/>handed, she backed up slightly, looking towards Aamu as she spoke up.<br/><br/>Solomon, in response to both Joe and Aamu's looks, spoke up in turn. The skull design on the sword's hilt flapped its jaw as he spoke, not quite in time with the words. "Try to be a little less vague, dear. Poor girl probably thinks we're planning on eating her now," He replied, pausing for a moment to speak to Salem. "Behind us."<br/><br/>Salem turned and swung the sword again, decapitating a hollow that got the clever idea of trying to sneak up behind them. The horde was thinning out, and some of the pseudodemons even appeared to be hesitating to attack now. They weren't backing down, but they weren't charging forward en masse anymore. With a confident air, Salem stood up straight and balanced Solomon's blade on his shoulder, keeping a close eye on the hollows. When one snarled at him, he did the same thing right back, 'scratching' at the air with his free hand in a mocking motion.<br/><br/>"I'd suggest getting rid of the rest of these things before anything bigger gets attracted. Ah, Mary, was it? You should proooobably wait inside," Solomon suggested. His voice wavered slightly at the end of the sentence as some disheartening thoughts passed through his head. They had a human in Limbo, unmarked, with no demon to bind to her. She was essentially a giant signal towards any soul-starved creatures in the city, and couldn't properly defend herself against anything.
