As they walked along the main road, he nodded in the small conversations here and there. It wasn't until they reached a path that had a narrow path that caused some hindrance from view. Of course, his brother would ask him about his own love interest. He wasn't seeing anyone but he had only spent time outside with his sister, was with Alonso. He was like his best friend and every time they were together, he had a sense of butterflies. Though, it was never something he truly acted on. Julian stopped as he glanced over the narrow path before them. Looking for any signs of trouble, almost as if he was trying to get out of this conversation. The hills on either side of him made it hard to see what was farther ahead. He sighed and looked back at his brother.
[color=#c10300]"My love life? None existent. I have no time to love...maybe if father gave me less responsibility then maybe..."[/color] Julian lied. If he truly wanted love, he would act on it. He was different and knew eventually he would have to marry someone to keep his lineage for the third talon family. There was a slight pink colorization across Julian's cheeks if one was paying close attention to him. He was a good liar and can charm his way out of most anything. But when it came to family. His sister and brother knew him the best. His body betrayed him without him even thinking about it. He thought he was quick enough to deflect.
[color=#c10300]"I'm going to check ahead...." [/color]Words echoed from Julian's mouth. Words that were more statements. He was going to distract himself from this conversation. Julian quickly hiked up the hill a few feet away to get a better view of what was ahead. The wind blew silently through the air. It was quiet. Which was strange for the main path. Usually, you could hear something. Animals of some nature whistling announcing their presence. He should have known better than to expect something but it was nearly too late for him. An arrow pierced through the air. The head of the blade twirled as he glided toward Julian. The sharp piece clipped Julian in the face. Leaving a trail of blood dripping down his cheek. [color=#c10300]"Shit!"[/color] Julian's heart stopped. If it was just him, he would be fine. But Tomas was here. He was pretty sure, Tomas was not the greatest at fighting. Julian turned around and darted toward Tomas. His movements looked as if he had skipped or leaped in time. Shadows erupted from him with each step. One minute Julian was at the top of the hill, and now he was next to his brother. [color=#c10300]"Hope you know how to use this...."[/color] Julian took a spare dagger from behind his cloak and handed it to Tomas's hand.
As the weapon was delivered into Tomas's hand, Julian materialized two longer daggers. One in each hand. Dark like ichor. They could look like obsidian daggers by just a glance. These were his daggers, which he formed by combining his Umbramancy magic. With a second look of slight fear but also confidence, Julian gave his older brother a smile. And then he was gone. Vanished. Trails of smoke and shadow all that was left.
