With a face like yours I'm likely to follow any request or demand you might make. As to my na- At that moment some drunken bastard stumbled in between them.<br/><strong>Now look 'ere bitch!</strong>With than a little spittle flying from his lips as said it,<strong>Ole' Blackthorn ain't round no more ta keep yas to himself. So you an' me is headin' up to yer room and you're gon-</strong>MacQuain had had enough. He grabbed the man by the chin from over his shoulder and kicked out his knee pulling his head back at the same time. Even as the man hit the floor MacQuain's rapier was out in a reversed grip which he stabbed straight down into the man's chest puncturing lung and heart.<br/><br/>I do so hate to be interrupted, and one should speak more kindly to a lady, regardless of her profession. Looking directly at Maria now, If you would pardon me a moment we shall continue our conversation shortly. Taking to the nearest table, he faced the bulk of the room. Shouting over the music that was playing, his words quickly hushing them.Now listen up all of you! The rumors are true Blackthorn is dead! Surrounded by five of her majesty's warships they shot him and the Nightingale to pieces! That being said, this lady here,pointing to Maria. Was Blackthorn's woman, but you'll not be running off with her as this bastard thought. Flicking his sword towards the man on the floor now very dead and his blood still pooling beneath him. Raising the blade up and pulling out a handkerchief from inside his coat he wiped the blood from his blade. For those who paid attention noticed this was not a clean cloth but one that was once white now covered in varying hues of red and brown, eerily like the colors of blood. I am Captain MacQuain of the Red Dawn. I am also known as the Red Gentleman, Mr. Red, or Mr. Blood. This woman is now under my care and any who choose to oppose that will learn exactly how I earned my name.<br/>Sliding his rapier back into the scabbard with a loud click he stepped down and turned to Maria. Now then my dear, I've my drink already but dinner I've not had. Perhaps you will join me and we can chat to greater length, I've heard you have a friend in dire need of some help.
