Brave New World (LS Intro)

The scent of fear permiated the air as he stood next to a door on the far end of the castle entrance. The man wore a pair of black dress shoes, polished to a perfect shine. In the middle of the bottom lace was a solid gold flower, a hibiscus. He wore a set of black dress pants to match, and a well cared for shirt of the same color was tucked into them. From his neck dangled another golden hibiscus, as though it were symbolic to the man. His broad shoulders gave way to normal sized arms, the muscular structure hidden behind black silk sleeves; courtesy of his dress shirt. The man wore a dark grey tie that had a crimson outline on the top, and holding the two tie ends together and preventing wind from flicking them about was a golden clasp.

Crimson eyes scanned the room, searching for the source of this unreasonable amount of fear. He found it, a trail leading off down the hall into the main entrance. 'Lady Lareci would scold me for leaving this be.' he thought to himself, moving from position to follow the scent. Upon finding it, rather than a scene of horror, he found a single woman with brown hair on the floor. Several people had stopped, but none approached her for fear that something might truly be wrong. Ikuchi moved forward, the sound of his dress shoes getting louder as they tapped against the stone floors and echoed through the vast chamber. Seeing the man moving toward the girl, the other members, or at least most of them, had resumed their activities. Ikuchi stopped with his feet directly in the woman's line of sight.

If Aino would look up, she would see a man with a neutral expression on his lips. He had young features, but not so young that he looked like a minor. His black hair was somewhat spiky, but looked good on him for the most part. There was no facial hair to adorn his jaw, such things were itchy and disgusting to Ikuchi. If Aino would look into his eyes, she would see hellfire staring back. Ikuchi's eyes were the only part of him that didn't look human, they were reptile like, closer to dragons than anything else. The two orbs seemed to burn with fury, and were perpetually stuck looking harsh and demeaning. Ikuchi began kneeling down, and moving his hand towards Aino- whose name he didn't know yet. If she wouldn't stop him, rather than a painful grasp or sudden jerk, she'd feel him gently rest his hand on her back.

"Are you well, my lady?"

The soft, caring voice would come from him. Most would expect him to be harsh considering who he served, and his eyes; but he spoke softly, and respectfully to the woman. His other hand stopped in front her, open palmed as he said "Please, let me help you." he stated in the same concerned and gentle tone, offering to help her get to her feet. If she would let him help her, Aino would notice that Ikuchi was being extremely gentle with her. He would rise at her pace, while helping to support her weight at the same time. However, Ikuchi wouldn't force her to let him help. If she refused him, he'd keep his hand out in case she stumbled so he could catch her; but he would only touch her further if she needed his support.
