[ A: While this maiden has been here all day, she hasn't thought to venture out until the sun had set. There's so much she's learned already. For example, with how short the days were and the chill in the air - that meant winter was coming in quick. With the strange salt in the breeze she was able to determine that she was on an island of some sort near an ocean. She might stand out when it comes to the other civilians as she wore sheets pulled from the hotel bed as a makeshift cloak, tightening it closer in between her petite fists.

Then it happens. Midnight strikes and the few individuals who littered the streets with brightly colored bags of green and red in their hands appear in strange coffins, leaving her to be the only one visible in her path. With the snowfall, her vision is obscured slightly.. but not enough to veil the large figure approaching rapidly. A normal woman might be frightened enough to flee, but this one in particular is Irish. Kicking up snow into it's face, she feints to the side in an attempt to run around it. Naturally, she gets knocked over by the Visceral Maya, sliding into a thicker bank of snow along the street. A shame she doesn't have a phone to call for help or anything of the sort.

B: After she's been rescued by ~~insert amount of threads of people who choose to save her here~~, Gráinne will be entering whatever bar happens to be open past midnight with soaking wet sheets in her hand. Her own attire is fairly damp, but she doesn't seem to be concerned with it. ]

I don't want you to leave.

You don't?

If you would rather be with him...then there's nothing I can do. I leave that decision up to you.

I don't know what I want, Diarmuid. That is why I asked you to not tell him of my arrival.

...very well. I won't tell him.

I doubt he'll ask you of it, so there's no need to lie. I can never ask you to lie on my behalf.

I had no intention of lying on anyone's behalf, Grainne. If he asks me, I will have no choice but to tell him. But as long as he doesn't, I will say nothing.

Right..

[ Look, she appears guilty she even thought that. ]

...what is it?

I fear for your life should he find out you knew.

I am not afraid to die again.

Then I shall fear it for you.

It's going to be alright, Grainne.

Can you really make such a claim?

I can certainly try.

[ Alright, maybe that was enough to get her to hug him back in return. ]

That thing that attacked me.. what was that?

It's called a Shadow. They appear throughout the city for an hour each night.

So I should remain indoors if I don't wish to be attacked?

You would likely be safer there, yes.

What of you? Will you remain at my side to ensure no harm falls upon me?

Grainne, there are countless others that need a knight to protect them; though there are several of us, I can not abandon those in imminent danger or those who need me to fight beside them.

And what if danger comes my way while you're out protecting these others?

You've been brought here, so I'm sure you'll awaken to the same power many of us already have.

[ So he expects her to take care of herself...

She's a princess, damn it. ]

I.. I understand..

[DUDE CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE.]

It's going to be alright, Grainne. Trust me.
