[ Instead of the strange masked figure who seemed to only leave violence in his wake, Fern almost runs straight into a couple who already look like they've had more than enough excitement for the evening. It doesn't matter that she stops short before running into them — the woman still glares at her like she's a piece of trash.
The man, meanwhile, is focused on the man on white — unmasked, now, but in clothing similar enough that Fern bristles at the sight of him. There might be differences, but they're not obvious enough for her to pick up on them in the dark of the night, especially when she'd just seen him and knew he'd come this way.
Are these the travelers of the night to which he referred before? Somehow, he doubts it.
It doesn't seem to matter too much to Fern that she's received ire from these people already. She shoves past them to put herself between them and the man in white, not even sparing a look over her shoulder as she warns them: ] Stay away from this one. Just be on your way.
[ If nothing else, they don't actually question it much, making for the door that Fern just came out of, leaving her to stare at the man — now that his mask is off, she can actually see his face and make eye contact. ]
Were they going to be your next victims? Just how long do you plan to keep this up?
