[ It's a not-so-quiet night in the castle when Dereck comes on duty. He wasn't even supposed to be here, but an alarm was raised when an intruder was found on the grounds. The sound of gunshots had echoed along with the shouts of the on-duty guards calling for reinforcements.
Now Dereck is making his way through the castle with another solider at his side in search of the intruder. A hand rests on his sword as they search through rooms, splitting up when necessary and Dereck breaks off to go deeper into what looks to be an abandoned storage room. There are sheets over the furniture to keep the dust away, and as he gets deeper... there are splatters of red on the white fabric.
He should call out to the soldier he's partnered up with, bring more to deal with the potential threat in this room. Yet as the intruder's face comes into view, Dereck simply finds that he can't find reason to. ]
You're hurt. [ Slowly, cautiously, his hand falls away from his sword to show that he isn't going to finish the job. ]
