Yon was a unique individual.
It didn't take hours of time together or a genius to realize that the young looking girl seemed a bit unhinged. From the smile plastered upon her face, to her way of utilizing broken speech and misconnected grammar, she seemed like someone who was foreign to the land of Fiore. Her hair, white as snow, and her eyes of crimson screamed of vampiric nature, but Jove didn't think that of her. The vampires he'd met thus far were monstrous beings, beyond the capacity of most mages and men. The girl was certainly beyond his capacity, but in an entirely different and less flattering sense.
As she spoke, he stared down at her unmoving. His eyes blinked regularly, if a little slowly. His lips never twisted upwards or otherwise. He didn't seem amused, but he didn't seem annoyed either. Rather, it were as though he were soaking in the entire spectacle before him without any sort of judgment at all.
Whether it was due to his personality, or if this level of patience and disconnect came with age, it was too soon for Yon to tell. Still, by circling him she'd see the contrast between his body and his face. His body was toned, and even through the thin fabric of the shirt and the form fitting slacks, one could tell that his body was built far beyond the capacity of a normal mage. His face, however, carried with it the faintest traces of grooves at his forehead and his lips. He was older, certainly older than most of the avidly active individuals who made up most guilds and the forefront of mage society.
As she finished, he looked ahead into the theater.
"Sounds good." Stepping into the theater, he didn't bother standing at the back, but instead walked to the side wall of the theater and made his way towards the actual stage. He stopped near the first couple of rows, but was far enough to the side that as the lights dimmed and the curtain opened he was obscured by shadow, hardly a distraction to the people in the audience.
The room grew silent, baited breath on still lips. The patrons were beyond excited for what passed as entertainment in the heart of Hosenka, and they were ready to see a show that would leave them breathless.
And that is precisely what they received.
The show began, lights illuminating the stage and actors gracing the wooden floor with a level of grace and practice that caught even the Rune Knight off guard. He watched with anticipation, finding himself enjoying the show. That was not to say that he was brought away entirely from his duties; he still scanned the crowd regularly, and looked upon the rafters in order to catch a glimpse of the threat they were warned of.
Yet the threat did not appear, and the show continued on.
As the show reached its middle point, a new actor appeared on stage. The crowd gasped, yet immediately Jove saw something odd. He held the wrists of two actresses, both strained against his hold and pulling away from him with tears running down their face. The man appeared and immediately addressed the crowd, in a tone which did not fit the play.
It took a few moments for Jove to confirm beyond all doubt that this was not a part of the play, and then he acted.
Pointing his two index fingers out, he made three quick motions as if firing a gun, with the tip of his finger as the end of the barrel. Three beams shot out in rapid succession, coming from the shadows and at an angle which allowed one of the actresses to block the beams from Ayakashi's vision.
The three beams hit, each debuffing him in their own way. The shock of these beams appearing from no where caused him to immediately release the girls and leap backwards, yet he was far slower than he thought he would be, and Jove was an unexpected variable.
Already on the stage and past the actresses, Jove's palm grabbed the mask. Turning his body, he quite literally lifted the man off the ground and threw him into the middle aisle of the crowd. Landing upon the floor head first, the masked man tumbled at Yon's feet. It was her job to finish this, and once she had, the quest would be complete.
