Mark watched as the events unfolded around him and was dumbstruck into inaction, the recently awoken woman who bore a cinnamon coloured skin seemed to be one of those spitfires that his mother had warned him about, warnings which he had always wished to defy but never had really the chance to do it.
She had quite a mouth on her and was quick to drag the corpse looking lad into the inside of the manor, yet there was something that made his skin crawl, a shiver unrelated to the cold around him, in his land the unknown still reigned unmatched in some of the less developed parts...and right now he had the impression that something predatory awaited inside of that building, something unkind and meant to be forgotten by the pages of the ages.
The gentleman too seemed to be repelled by whatever presence inhabited those halls, yet Mark caught himself thinking of so much nonsense, often he had scolded his peers when they jested about him telling tales of witches and ghosts, he always told them that in his life he had never experienced anything of the so called brujas.
“Don't suppose we should leave them ladies on their own eh?” he spoke not really expecting an answer, just making a grab for the opportunity to break the eerie silence, when all he got was more silence he made his mind and advanced to the open doors.
As he made his way he felt shaken by all the paintings, their stares dug deeply into the Mexican´s being and threatened to lay out his soul bare, why was he feeling so, stalked out of the sudden? He brushed these thoughts aside with one quick glance at the fire, the radiating warmth being more than welcoming “You know it might be a good idea to drag him over here” he said to the cinnamon lass, if she had spoken her name he had clearly forgotten it in light of some other facts “Mayhap we should take a look around, see if someone can give us a clue or... something” as usual he was falling into reaction instead of action, unless properly motivated he was more than happy to simply watch others move around and do their things
