"It would indeed. Would you like to take a look at it as well? Two pairs of eyes are better than one," Nicol nodded, steepling his fingers in front of his face.

"You speak the truth," Andrey nodded. "I shall lend my aid."

"My gratitude."
Nicol took a step forward. He did not fall, however, standing on thin air as steadily as on solid ground. He raised his head to the churning clouds, taking a moment to appreciate their protective veil.
"Katrina died in her new House, Lindtar. It is not far away," the lord of House Balogh spoke as he began to rise, without any visible effort or motion.
"Let us hurry, cousin," he added, momentarily hovering atop the tree before drifting down. His shoes barely touched the treetop before he propelled himself forward, in a graceful arc vaulting onto another tree.

Though it had happened only ten minutes ago, Eye knew that The Lord of House Balogh was coming. Eye could...
sense
...pain. It was very small, what Balogh felt for Katrina, perhaps so small that Balogh didn't even notice it. But Balogh was coming, and it was time to finish this...

"So, where do you live?" Simon asked, motioning for her to go ahead.

Andrey followed in much the same manner, though he was privately wondering why someone would bother to kill a non-turned member of one of the Houses. Surely they knew it would bring retaliation...

Before long, Nicol flitted from a tall birch suffocating under the crushing grip of three different poison ivies vying for the right to end the tree, yet still standing proud and defiant in its last days. The twice-born strode at a leisurely pace, yet to a human eye his unhurried gait and the distance he covered with each step contrasted sharply, denying description, defying comprehension and sowing doubt and dizziness. Though he did not announce his presence, he did not attempt to conceal it either; it paid to be sporting in his opinion, letting those that might stand in his way think naively they had a chance of escaping his wroth. It made partaking of their life all the more an exquisite experience.
Even as he ascended the wide stairs to the front entrance of Lindtar Manor, he knew that it was not just his kin Katrina to have perished; his keen ear picked up no signs of human activity within, and his second sight saw so heartbeats fluttering behind the walls that only seemed thick. Despite the task before him, he smiled yet again, for his curiosity was peaked.
The man with no shadow raised his arms in a commanding gesture and spread them to the sides forcefully. Obeying his dark will, the massive double doors swung open with a thundering crash, and a gust of the inside air that was already beginning to get stale was let loose into the night.

Eye leapt from the shadows, spear stabbing towards Nicol.

With a melancholic sigh Nicol sidestepped from the attack as he picked up the characteristic swishing sound of an air split by a bladed weapon. He turned to look onto the assailant and raised an eyebrow in mild amusement.
"Oh? What's this? Did you think to bring me down with a sharpened piece of metal affixed crudely to a length of wood? Isn't it just adorable."
The lord of house Balogh folded his arms on his chest, casually gazing upon the lancer.
"Tell me, child, who are you? Are you the one who has killed a woman living in this house, Katrina Lindtar née Balogh?"

Eye came out of the jab and whirled around, stabbing again, "I ended those who lived here. My Master says, 'strike!' so I strike."

"Such a waste of life," Nicol spoke chidingly as he batted the spear away, striking the flat of the blade with his palm.
"Who is this 'Master' of yours, child? I would have a word with them after you have finished entertaining me."

"Child? Looks can be deceiving." Eye lunged again, "Not a waste; her death will help further some goal. As for my master," Eye focused; and suddenly he was behind Nicol, "I do not know who he is."

Nicol sidestepped again, then rolled his eyes when the lancer vanished from sight.
"Disappearing to attack from behind; is everything you have in stock as predictable and easy to see through as this?" he inquired, not bothering to turn and face the assailant.
"You still have not told me who you are. Such an uncouth child. I would have introduced myself first, had you not known who I am by this time. Have you no dignity, no proper manners?"

"I am Eye." Said the souless man. The Eye rose into the air and a glowing nimbus made a halo around his spear. Eye lashed out and a nova of energy rushed towards Balogh.

Out of the corner of his eye Nicol observed the energy building up. He turned around, confident in his ability to withstand anything the assailant could throw at him, and crossed his arms at chest level to protect his face and torso.
The blast connected, and a cloud of smoke engulfed Nicol. When it faded away several seconds later, the lord of house Balogh stood unfazed. Here and there his black clothing was torn, revealing the ivory skin beneath to be scalded by the magical attack.
"And here I was just about to think that you sought to attack me with naught but a pointy stick," Nicol said softly. He spread his arms to the sides, allowing the Eye to witness the burns on his skin recede before his very eyes and the clothing knit itself back together, taking matter from the surrounding shadows themselves.
"Are you glad that you have landed a hit on me, Eye? Are you feeling a sense of accomplishment that your attack has visibly damaged me? Was that your strongest technique?"

"Not in the least..." muttered Eye, he then said more loudly, "You are pompous, haughty, overconfident, foolish and arrogant! Fight back, coward!"

"How am I a coward when it was you to have slaughtered men, women, children and serfs of house Lindtar?" Nicol quipped, in the same soft, lecturing voice. "How am I a coward when it was you to have sprung from an ambush in an attempt to catch me unawares?
It seems you have not yet understood the discrepancy in level between us, child. Show me your most powerful attack. Hit me with everything you have so that I may educate you."

"They saw it coming; that was the best I could do. What would you have done? Waited till they all had weapons and summoned the Dark Watch? But you...I knew you would be no easy meat. Strike me with your weakest blow...and I shall educate you!"
