"Vincent!" She stepped into the kitchen, grabbing Vincent by his arm and dragging him away from Ryo. "I know you are both tempered, but there is no need for this!" She looked to Ryo full well knowing how this would escalate.

"Just because I'm Roman doesn't mean I have to laugh at the face of death. You're just like the rest of them. Merciless swine." Ryo stands up, snatching his weapon after taking the blow to the face. He didn't seem as if he were to react. "And who's fault is it that you are the undead form you are now? Hm? You ward yourself away from others on purpose, so dont hose your troubles on me like it will phase me."

Bradwen reached into his pouch and pulled out a small, oblong object. Raising it to his lips, he carefully laid his fingers across it's surface and began to blow into it. Out came a soft Celtic melody that carried itself onto the wind. Bradwen stopped for a moment and lifted up the instrument, gazing across it's smooth surface in the moonlight and letting it's fire-baked smell flood his nostrals. He lowered it back down and resumed his melody, closing his eyes and letting the rest of the world slip away from his conscious.

"Let them fight if they need to, we're both here to halt them should it get out of hand." Saradin said, still tense and prepared for what may need to be done. "Though you both need to calm down." Further agitated by Vincent's demeanor, Saradin inadvertantly began to 'lecture' him. "You referred to me as a boy as well. Actual age doesn't determine adulthood, its wisdom. I've met children philosophers and ancient fools, try to remember that. Not all of us are as young as you think."

Aura braced her hands on Vincent's chest, pushing him so that he was leaning against the counter, he was going to relax like it or not. She then turned to Ryo, approached him and shoved him back into a chair, he was going to chill to. Saradin could stand, unless she felt like shoving him as well. She stood between the two, simply glancing between them. Oh yes, she was in a dangerous position between them both. She turned a look to Saradin. "You want them to fight? They seem to harbor enough against each other already. No need to add fuel to the fire."

"I am calming myself here...but the taunts I'm getting aren't exactly helping here. Even if I did fight, I'd die. Though I know the few ways....forget it. I'm attempting to sort things out myself. Is that too much to ask?"

She turned her gaze to Ryo. "When you are taking it out on us, even when we are attempting to help , then yes Ryo, it becomes a problem." Aura crossed her arms, and sighed slightly.

"You'd be quite surprised at how pride works itself out. I've seen bitter enemies fight their way into friendship. As long as it remains non-lethal, it can actually help a lot to get rid of tension. You're right that it becomes a problem when he drags more into it, but I still think that sometimes letting it out is the better approach."

Ryo simply shakes his head, staying silent. Saradin might have been right, had he fought against a mortal. It was harder to kill off a vampire than a normal man, let alone do any damage. 'Not many people would understand it the way we do...'

Bradwen stopped playing and looked up. He tucked away the instrument into his pouch once again and let the winds run through with their own music once again. He stood up and walked over to where the roof overlooked the courtyard, and jumped. He hit the ground with a resounding THUD, scraping his knee, hand and forearm on his left side, and furthur ripping his poor, decrepit shirt and pants. He dusted himself off and walked back into the manor, entering the Grand Hall. He walked furthur on, passing off to a direction other than the kitchen.

The quietness allowed him to finally sort out the topics in his mind. 'I just get worried when it comes to recoil from self endulging. Phea's worried sick about me, so says everyone. Dagan nearly got his life taken from him on our trek through the tombs...he never ceases to surprise me. Phea's mother....I doubt I'll ever get a thought of liking a mortal through her head. And...nobody cares.' His mind dwindled on the statement he heard before.

The silence getting to him as well, Saradin decided to break it. "Ryo, its over now, what's happened here can be forgotten. You need a little time away from this. I know what it likes to bear that weight for far to long."

Bradwen entered the libraryand looked around. Obviously he had no idea where to start. He'd only entered this room once before and he needed Aura's help to find what he was looking for. And it turned out not helping him at all.
That's right. he thought. It was Ryo who helped me then. Ryo and him. But Ryo didn't seem in a good condition when I saw him. And the others are all trying to help him. This I have to do on my own.
Ignoring the fact that he knew little of what or where to look, Bradwen set off into the massive library, intent on finding what he needed.

"Saradin...it's not being away that I need. I just...feel like I let down on everyone by not doing what I said I would: be here to protect and help. It's like my rent, and I haven't payed up yet. What I need is just...to give myself a few more minutes of recoup minus intimidation. I am rather edgy when I'm worked up..."

"I simply meant away from the stress. Besides, I have not done much other than start trouble here myself. Yet, I'm welcome. You came here before me and this place hasnt changed much since then. As for vincent..." Eyes the vampire cautiously. "...you were the one who began the intimidation I believe."
