Alice wasn't entirely sure anymore what to think. Sure she had realized she had not been very nice but the short answer and the turn to Winderlin with the word you. Sure she did understand what he said after that because Winderlin didn't seem to listen to him indeed. She frowned and watched one face and than the other. She didn't know exactly what to say and the idea that Ophelia was in trouble was still going through her mind.

Her frown only deepened a bit when he came closer to her, leaning on the table. She had to resist the urge to take a step back, "Well that's up to you, isn't it?" Instead of to get closer to him by leaning over the table, she simply sat down which was at least some closer than it originally had been. She knew she wasn't being in her best behaviour as she wanted to leave and find her companion, find answers and so on.

This person was intruding as well, his behaviour was so unknown to her that it was interesting and that she didn't know what to do. It felt bad to leave Winderlin behind especially after his mistake from a minute a go. She could understand that it was rude to ask for a name when not introducing herself or in Winderlin his case: himself. Besides it was probably a bit of a dent in ones ego to be misunderstood and asked on a date, especially when you weren't interested. She was a bit confused and highly aware that he was still holding on to Winderlin. She didn't understand because she was sure she heard some irritation in his voice.

She still didn't exactly know what to think, she was sure that Konstantin would know how to handle this. Which made her a bit grumpy at herself, she wasn't incapable of deciding for herself. She wasn't stupid.

Winderlin started to laugh. I mean he was laughing hard. He couldn't believe he thought that this was a date. Couldn't he tell that Winderlin was gay.. I mean it should be that hard to look at him and tell. But hey not every is like that.

"I'm really sorry. It's just I'm gay. You had put your arm around me and brought up date it was like oh. I'm really sorry for jumping to conclusions. I'm Winderlin. Winderlin King." He gave a very nice smile hoping that he could be forgiven for his mistake. "I say let's just forgot about all of that?"

But then he leaned forward at Alice and I wasn't sure how to feel at the moment. He ADLER Could he Tell her a secret and she was keeping her cool but he felt like he should help but she had already lured him in to keep talking. Winderlin just sat back and stared at her companion hoping she would get the message of danger. God this was becoming complicated and hard to think about now. Come on Winderlin you need to come up with a plan and it need to be now.

The stage had been set. The actors were all in their place on this world theater. Positions were now firmly established. Roku was sitting next to Winderlin, hand on his shoulder at the bend of his neck and shoulder. Winderlin's left shoulder, to be precise. Alice had sat down, placing her face at approximately face level for Roku. With him leaning in and her sitting straight, the distance between them was a mere fraction of a meter; Half of one at most.

The motives for the actors had been established as well. Alice was nervous, consistently glancing away from the table in search of her pet, whom was missing in action. This had caused her reactions to become jarred, reliant on her own feeling of insecurity at the moment. She had let those insecurities make her reactions short, her responses sharp. As much as she was trying now to backtrack and be kind and polite, it seemed as if she was doing it out of obligation.

Winderlin had instantly set himself apart from Alice, at least at first. He was welcoming to a stranger, willing to talk with him and treat him kindly. That being said, the man was quick to impose his own ideals on another, caused mainly by his inability to listen to what the individual said. That was almost worse than what Alice did. Rather than be short and contrary, he did not respect the significance of another's words. So what if Roku put his arm around someone? So what if he enjoyed to talk and get to know this person? In what way did that make Roku seem like he was trying to become anything with anyone? It was the imposing of views on another, which Alice was also guilty of. Then again, so was Roku.

Roku came over for the sole purpose of enjoyment. He came with the intention of getting to know them, but only to a minor ability. He wished to dance around their psyche, even of only shortly, to get an idea of who they were. He did not do so with the clearest of intentions, though. He had not come over to get to know them to make friends. He came over to confirm that they were despicable, in his own twisted definition. They were set up to lose from the very beginning.

And lose they had.

Alice sat tall in her seat, as a rune knight would. Winderlin sat aside Roku, Roku's hand firmly in its place on his shoulder near his neck. And Roku, leaning across the table for the secret. As Winderlin began speaking, it was time.

Then, two actions happened. Roku, his upper body supported and steady due to his leaning in and using his elbow as support, spit at Alice. His spit came out in the form of a red spike, which had such a short distance to travel at such high speeds. Reaction to such a thing, within this distance and with the speed of the attack, was neigh impossible. It was aimed for the left edge of her throat, just inside the muscle and just outside the windpipe, so that it would pierce inwards and sever her jugular.

Whilst this action occurred, in the exact moment that the spike left his lips so as to not interfere with its aim nor trajectory, Roku's hand which was upon Winderlin's shoulder shot in and slapped against his windpipe in a swiping motion back towards Winderlin's shoulder, bringing a blade in his direction. This would cut into Winderlin's windpipe, opening it. The blade would continue past Winderlin, though the angle of the blade continued backwards away from Winderlin and instead into the innocent people sat near by. It was angle this way to ensure that it would not come to harm Roku himself at all.

With that done, the Fairy Tail mage would likely immediately go into a minor form of shock. Alice was not so lucky. With the pierced jugular, she'd begin bleeding out quickly and suddenly. She'd have a few seconds before the immediate effects of dizziness and blurred vision would become a factor. With these actions done, Roku did one more thing.

Standing up in a fit of laughter, his chair being suddenly shoved out away from him by the sudden action, Roku's hand grabbing the back of Winderlin's neck and shoving him forward, intending to push him into the table and knock the table forward and over, which would also knock Alice over by proxy.

The games were now beginning, and each player had a task. Alice had a short amount of time to save her and Winderlin's life. Roku had a short amount of time to enjoy himself. Win conditions were straight forward, so how would the game end?

As she sat down because of the head gesture from the stranger, she let go of her trouble with Ophelia. For now she assumed her pet was safe and sound inside. She sat upright, and wondered whatever this conversation would turn into. Before anything else was being said by him at least, she noticed a noise that she had heard before. She frowned again, opened her mouth to say something and noticed his eyes not looking at her eyes but at some other point, around her neck. At that same time she already moved her head down and turned a bit of her face away, in the same movement she wanted to use her hand and forearm in front of her face. If someone was spitting at her, let her at least save her dignity. But it didn't matter, it wasn't just spit, it was a spell and her cheek got hit, which did sting.

Her automatic reaction made her tap into her magic and change her regular outfit for the Scarle armour and diadem, as well as her standing up with an angry look on her face, she should have known. She should had been more careful. Her left hand was held up to hold the spear in her hand as she stared at the man at the table the distance between them now, as she was standing a step behind again around 1 and a half meter, she looked at him as he was also hurting Winderlin. She might not know the Fairy Tail man long but this sure as hell would not go this way.

She held the spear with both hands, the left in front of the right, she turned the spear with her right hand, moving her left hand closer to herself and making sure that the spear head wouldn't be able to hurt herself, she turn the spear with a quickness of 180 degrees turn to hit with the back end to the stranger his temple. She heard another sound behind her, but one that made her a bit better at ease. Ophelia had returned. She didn't look away nor loose her focus, it was something her cat ears heard and made her able to focus even more on the task at hand.

Ophelia was behind Alice chair now, which meant she was hidden from sight from the stranger but close enough to sing and let her owner be healed including Winderlin for as far as he needed it.

If that was enough to get away Alice would run to get back up and try to capture this guy or try to first help Winderlin if it was necessary. She hated to make the choices but she couldn't do much if she had to make choices. Ophelia was gone again and she would find her again. But Alice would leave as well, the matters were pressing.

Exit.

As Winderlin was shoved forward, the sadistic laugh ripped from Roku's lips as he looked across the table and beyond. His eyes removed the orange haired cat woman as his focus, instead noticing a little creature scurrying over, its eyes fixated on its owner. As it moved forward slowly, the Grimoire Heart found himself infuriated. Slave labor too? Had this woman no soul?

Taking a large step forward and slamming his foot down and dashing forward at his maximum speed. This put him forward five meters, which was slightly over four meters beyond where Alice and friend were laying. During that dash, his right arm had shot off to his side at a steep angle, putting it half a meter away from his body. At this point, the scurrying little fluff ball had gotten so close to her owner- Just over five meters away and counting! Roku had other plans for the little beast.

A blade protruded from his right arm, going out approximately a meter. Stabbing it forward with a punching motion, Roku aimed for the undefended eye of the little monster. Eyes were not like skin, see. Whereas skin would stop the blade at about a centimeter and a half tops, the eye would give way and allow the blade to slide much deeper in comparison. Regardless, the creature would certainly close both eyes in pain and fear; Though mostly pain. Following up on the little medicinal ball of a companion that likely couldn't even process the events due to the pain and unexpected blindness, Roku would kick the thing off the ground, sending it backwards and away from its owner. The thing would have little it could do to stop this onslaught, though if it managed to do so he would continue to focus on it. And if the two behind him thought he took his mind of them for even a moment, well they were right. Still, he was ready to react to them too.

"Sorry," he began with a curt bow to the companion. "Couldn't have you stepping in though, I'm sure you understand." Turning his attention back to the two on the ground who had certainly bled severely now, Roku smiled to them. "Now, where were we?"

As she was bleeding too much, even with her armour on, she would lose her balance and not able to do anything. She was trying to breath so slow as possible as to stop the blood from streaming out so fast, but nothing worked, it was too big a wound to put pressure on it. She fell because her body was fighting for her to faint, she stared at Ophelia with big eyes but couldn't lift up her hand or do anything to protect her friend, she couldn't even scream or say anything. Afterall she was still as always a coward.

Her eyes closed and she didn't fight it, there was nothing to fight afterall. She felt horrible and such but there were things she had to do to get out of here. Who would say what this man might do to her as she would be knocked out. She would just have to believe some of the other Knights were coming, that the store owner informed someone. She opened her eyes once more but everything was blurry and sticky with blood. Great Knight she was. Not. That's when she lost her ability to stay awake, someone should save her quickly, the ground was so bloody. She simply was knocked out now.

Exit.
