<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/zxHvvH6.png)</div>Name: Nathaniel Faulkner<br/>Time:  Day 1 Afternoon<br/>Location: Ecchi Island Beach Zone, Sector 5, Ocean<br/>Tagging: Tessa, Open<br/>Notes/Warning: Keeping it close to the chest<br/><hr/><br/>There was some silent approval of Nathaniel's part as Tessa went along with his suggestion, though he didn't have any idea as to how long the secrecy would actually last. Hopefully it would be solved before the end of the week anyway  and he could enjoy himself the rest of the time. Unfortunately it wasn't up to him, so they would have to see what happened.<br/><br/>He did not shy away from the return gesture, even as the warm exterior faded to the ice beneath. He'd heard that the Countess had a strong will, and now he finally had the chance to see it in a more serious demeanor. It might not intimidate him with the sorts of things he had been through, but he knew that he had to tread carefully if he wanted to continue staying on the island for the rest of the week. The fact that they were this far meant he couldn't keep all his cards, so it was time to show at least a bit. "Worrying about the guests won't be necessary," he reassured her, slowly moving in a slow turn in the water as if they were dancing. "But some caution might be advised. You did invite a school of assassins after all, and it would be very unfortunate if the Countess had a tragic accident the week that the island opened to the public." He left unsaid whether the threat was from him or someone else. She could just try to figure that out herself.
