it was a dangerous risk lady florent had taken as she entered the corridor. though melessa had never met lord darion face to face, his reputation and colossal form was not one easily mistaken. luck was on her side, as it was the goodbrother she had found and not the enemy. still, there was worry churning her stomach. there was always a possibility the lord had no interest in assisting a lady in need--especially one whom was of little notability. she was not important in the grand scheme of things. if she perished, few would care. but darion's offer, and the beckoning of his hand, had melessa moving without another moment of hesitation. tears did not stop, not even as she tucked herself behind the giant to put him between herself and anyone else entering the hallway. "my chambers are not safe, my lord," she managed to force out, back of her hand wiping at her cheeks to rid them of the crimson splatters. "i could not reach my brother and i just--" words were difficult, especially as her mind drifted to the thought of gwayne. "i do not wish to die."
a mouse stood opposite of the hound. brutish gaze steady on face, and violence bred lord had seen far lower strategies from worst people. a child brandished in front of monster as bait, observers watching from corners to see whether he'd bite, or if she'd be swallowed first. but she was lucky. he was not new to honeycomb traps, and her accoutrement was outrageously noble: his heart pitied the poor lady, enough to allow fight turn to rest. a hand beckoned her closer. " come, my lady. you may take shelter with my wife within our chambers, should you wish. unless you would like to be accompanied to your own? "

who could one turn to for protection when the short path to brother's chambers were blocked with carnage? a blood splattered yet unharmed lady florent had sped through the violence, bare feet pattering on the cold floor during the short sprint to the nearby hall that she knew would hold help--knew would hold someone who could protect her. rounding the corner, she had rarely felt such relief upon seeing the form of another. her shaky hands lifted in surrender, one with a white-knuckle grip upon the only form of weapon she had--her cherished hair brush. “p-please--my lord. i know not where to go.” but it seemed, by the amount of bodies laid before her, this hallway was a temporary safe place.

blood marred the brute's weapon — sword left behind, loyal companion tasked between wife's fingers to protect their children. hallways leading to goodbrother quarters remained free of foes, instead littered with bodies of storm soldiers unlucky to have thought hound and family prey. red hammer lives up to name, not an inch of body untouched by crimson, and war trained eyes fall upon the next body that rounded corner. a challenge, if company turned out to be another corpse to add to the count.
