Snippet #1862181

Weld walked close behind Valyssa as she walked towards the towering place, slowing going to her side as she grabbed for her hand. Though Weld would be there for her, ultimately Weld tried to not influence her decisions unless he definitely knew that it would place her in danger. For now, the house seemed to have no dangers her could sense despite... not exactly being in the best conditions. He couldn't help but wonder if her parents had abandoned the place or were just too poor to keep it in good shape. Even if they were too poor to take care of her, it was no excuse to leave a child in the streets like that. He could only hope that her parents had a better reason for abandoning her...

He nodded at what she told her as they climbed the stairs, contemplating turning into his wolf form, but then immediately decided against it. Anyone here might try to take advantage of such a young girl that seemed to be alone and despite the fact that his human form didn't look much older, at least he had powers to protect her with. Weld simply followed Valyssa, nodding at what she said but letting her lead because it was her experience, not his.

"If you say we should, then we will," Weld said, but then quickly turned around just as Valyssa did to see a person in the doorway, his stance intimidating and ready to attack. But despite this Weld put his arm in front of Valyssa, hoping to try and avoid violence, "What are you doing here?" Weld asked the man in Russian.

"Who said you owned the place?" The man said back in Russian, drawing his knife.

"We weren't claiming anything. Just let us go in peace," Weld said, again in Russian.

"And let some girl and some guy wearing cat ears take the loot?!" The man yelled in Russian, charging towards Weld and Valyssa with his knife in front of him.

Weld acted quickly, using his super speed to get behind the man, wrap his arm around his neck, and then made both of them fall back on the ground. He levitated the knife from the man's hand and flung it to a corner of the room as the man was swearing in Russian.

"Run!" He told Valyssa as he kept the man in place as he struggled.
