Vanessa sits next to Viola as she order two small cups of Earl Grey tea. A delicious tea that eases the nerves and mind so better ideas can be created.
Chesire on the other hand. Ordered a good cup of White Herbal tea. A favorite of his to relieve himself of the stress as a guard captain. He always took his time when he was told to go home and rest, he stops by here so he can drink a nice cup worth so he can feel better. "I wonder how Alice is doing.. I should tell her to meet me here to introduce her to that girl, Viola.." The paladin says to himself as he taps his foot calmly.
Vanessa sees Viola looking at the door of the cafe. "Viola? Are you expecting someone?" The witch asks while looking at the door as well.

It seemed odd that Ludovigo would pay for the young man's food (if thats what he implied at least.) Odder still for him to attend catholic mass. RayLeonardo really couldn't picture it, but he decided to leave the man to his own devices, and be thankful for his help so far.
"well then, I'll see you inside. Dominus vobiscum Ludovigo."
The Latin words Ray spoke meant: "May the Lord be with you." it was one of the few words he learned from his time in the catholic church, guarded by his royal family in Hungary. It was a term said to him by the priest often to him, he was one of the few that was nice to RayLeonardo, despite his bastard birth. He repeated these word to Ludovigo mostly out of nostalgia's sake of those memories.
As the two parted ways, the young Ray entered the cafe, not knowing what to expect next.

"well then, I'll see you inside. Dominus vobiscum Ludovigo."
"Huh… Okay… Fine…" answered Ludovigo who didn’t quite understand the words since he didn’t know latin. One of the many reasons why he almost never went to assit to mass since they were in latin. But now since that vampire thing really scared him he decided to go. Not to the mass but only to say a little prayer. Beside it really was a ten-fifteen minutes thing. So after giving an embarrased smile to RayLeonardo since he didn’t understand, he went toward the many chapels and churches around the Vatican.
"Viola? Are you expecting someone?"
"A troubled man will come inside soon…" answered the young seer to her adoptive mother.
Then the young man came inside : For a moment, only a second, Viola had the feeling she already met that man but the very small flashback was quickly overshadowed by the dark impression she felt. The dark clouds around him. That young man seemed to be cursed… That must have confused her… She did not know him but felt his tormented presence since a while…
Still sitting at her table, Viola stared at him, trying to look into his soul. He was intriguing.

As RayLeonardo walked in, he surveyed the nice humble atmosphere, then spotted someone... Very interesting.
A woman was looking at him, she seemed intrigued somehow...the feeling was mutual. He's never seen a girl with such nice curled silver hair...yet she was so familiar. RayLeonardo swore he's seen her before, but like recalling a dream, the thought slipped from him.
He realized this whole time thinking about it, he'd been standing in the entrance staring at her for awhile.
"Hey buddy, I know she's cute and all but it's rude to stare." A man at a table close to the spearman said.
"Oh...uhh." Ray stuttered in Embarrassment, and instead decided to talk to the woman instead. There wasn't any avoiding it, Ray would be bothered by it the whole time if he didn't find out why he swore he knew the silver haired girl.
As he approaches, Ray realized that he was so focused on the silver haired girl that he didn't realize someone with her. He thought he should just be forward and ask.
"Excuse me my lady, but I was wondering if we've perhaps met before."

Vanessa looks at both Viola and the man with a curious look as this man might help out Viola with her troubled past. She just looks at the two while she gives Viola her Earl Grey Tea. "Here sweetie." She says quietly so the two can continue talking.
Chesire looks over and sees the lancer and smiles as his cup of tea was just given to him. He drinks it slowly to enjoy the wonderful taste of the beverage with peace that he has.

As she kept staring, Viola suddenly realized the young man was staring at her as well. She first got embarrassed but then told herself that it was only by confronting him that she would know who he was and what was that curse. So she took a unimpressed expression and didn’t do anything as he began moving toward her. Beside if he had bad intentions, she had Vanessa with her. Vito, Adele and Chesire were also not very far. But she still felt that evil around him… Was it Soul Edge? Or something else? If it was Soul Edge, he may know about her… Was he a malfested? Before she could see something more, he adressed her :
"Excuse me my lady, but I was wondering if we've perhaps met before."
So they may have known each other… in what way? Friendly or not? He didn’t seem to be hostile but he didn’t seem to be fully certain of knowing her either… Maybe he was mistaking? Maybe he also had amnesia? Maybe something happened to both of them and caused that?
A little distrustful and troubled by this since it was hard to know what to answer and she didn’t want to tell a stranger she had amnesia, Viola decided to answer by a question. Since he wasn’t sure of knowing her and she didn’t know either, she had to know who he was before. And maybe with that, she would learn about herself as well. She thanked Vanessa for the tea and then asked the young man:
"Why are you pursued by that dark cloud? Who are you?"

The young man accepted the tea from the women sitting with the silver haired girl and took a small drink of it.
Very nice brew this is.
Then he got hi reply from the girl:
"Why are you pursued by that dark cloud? Who are you?"
RayLeonardo was taken back by the question.
So perhaps we don't know each other, or maybe she doesnt know either.
Ray didnt even know what to think of the first question of a dark cloud. Was there truly a dark energy surrounding him?
If there was, it was connected to the shard...or perhaps a darkness he's carried long since then.
All because of a dark pagan god. That bastard.
However, he wasn't without blame either, but he couldn't tell someone he wasn't even sure he knew all about it. Especially near a place such as the Vatican, what blasphemy would he be hunted for then.
He decided to be be coy, try to see if trusting his instincts in this girl was correct.
"You need not far me, ma'lady. I am RayLeonardo Sarosi and I can see you are perceptive, perhaps you know more of this dark cloud that I know naught."

Viola suddenly noticed RayLeonardo’s embarrassement as she spoke of the dark cloud and understood her mistake : Indeed they were close to the Vatican… if he was cursed or malfested, he may fear the Church…
With Chesire knowing about their witch state, Viola had lost some caution being around the Holy place. But even if he didn’t care about Vanessa, Alice and her being witches, Chesire may not spare that man… The man then spoke again, trying to reassure her.
"You need not fear me, ma'lady. I am RayLeonardo Sarosi and I can see you are perceptive, perhaps you know more of this dark cloud that I know naught."
RayLeonardo Sarosi… Viola tried to think for a moment : Have she ever heard that name before? RayLeonardo… RayLeonardo… Hum… His name ended by O… That sounded Italian… But he did have a different accent than the Italian one… Maybe he was not Italian… Where was he coming from? Where had she met him if she did? RayLeonardo Sarosi…
Despite trying very hard to remember something, Viola couldn’t get any memories again and felt a little sad over it. But she tried to push her sadness behind a neutral face and gazed once more at the young man still trying to see something of him. But all she could see was about that strange curse he had… not their tie if they had one…
She sighed and said :
"I’m sorry, monsieur Sarosi, I tell strange things sometimes… I may see what I should not see and not see what I should see…"
Viola wondered for a while if she could speak more. She then whispered:
"This dark cloud may be more like a tree… a rotten tree… It’s shadow is over you… but the apple that grows on it may free itself and fall down before it rots as well… Yet the roots are there to grab it as well… I do not know if you can stray from the path faith chose for you… It is strong…"
Suddenly while thinking about the darkness that was over RayLeonardo, Viola felt scared. She did wonder if she had something to do with it as well. Why did he said he knew her? That evil force seemed strong… She already met Soul Edge, it was really strong and scary, even Vanessa had been scared. Was it that same evil? Was Soul Edge or something else coming to take her as well? Remind her she had to work for it? She didn't want to follow Soul Edge even if she was malfested and it expected her to do so. She had hoped to discreetly arrange some confrontation, let the two Soul swords fight together and not get too involved. Even if she still was unsure how to do it… But that man came and… but he was fleeing… Was he fleeing the same thing as she was?
"The sands are fading…"
She then shut up, trying to calm down and look neutral again.
"I'm tired of this."

Vanessa looked at Viola, sensing the fear that is flowing through her young body. "Viola? Are you okay? It looks like you have- wait.. You." She points to RayLeonardo with a quick turn. "Are you a impure?" She asked rather bluntly but she didn't use the term malfested to stir up a fight in the area where Chesire had to keep his men from attacking everyone and him. She needed an answer.

RayLeonardo was once again caught off guard. The silver haired girl seemed to calm but the other bluntly asked the same question. Why? Is the young mans presence so tainted?
"I don't know how to answer that ma'am."
RayLeonardo replied. There wasn't much point in subtlety, if some evil qhaunted over him like a thick cloud of smoke.
"Whatever it is you sense from me, know I have no intent to harm anyone. I'm seeking answers but your reaction to me only raises more questions."
The young man said, as he eyed around him, watching for any prying ears. "Perhaps you should tell me what you think I am."

"Viola? Are you okay? It looks like you have- wait.. You." She points to RayLeonardo with a quick turn. "Are you a impure?"
"I don't know how to answer that ma'am."
Viola whispered to her mother.
"He is cursed by a dark force, maman."
The young man then continued speaking.
"Whatever it is you sense from me, know I have no intent to harm anyone. I'm seeking answers but your reaction to me only raises more questions."
The young man said, as he eyed around him, watching for any prying ears.
"Perhaps you should tell me what you think I am.
He really seems lost. Like me, thought the white haired seer before she whispered to him so that no one but him and Vanessa could understand:
"I do not know what you are but you seem cursed. Either by blood or some other reason. Or both. But you did something that helps that dark force pursue you, yet I do not know what. You drank that cursed wine and got drunk. Now you do not know how to get rid of it. You want peace but as long as that curse is over you, you cannot hope for it. You will have to face it.”
The fact that she was seeing many similarities between her and that young man was only troubling Viola. She kept wondering if he was fleeing from Soul Edge. Was it that dark ancient force that she was feeling or if it was another dark ancient force? But it was something powerful… enough to somehow flow in his veins… But was it malfestation? She wasn’t certain. Yet he seemed to be fleeing from the evil force and he seemed confused. Like her. Giving up to curiosity, Viola then asked him:
“But… hum… Who is that young woman you thought I was?”

The young man said, as he eyed around him, watching for any prying ears. "Perhaps you should tell me what you think I am."
Vanessa had a vague smirk on her face as she took the tone as a challenge, she was close to cracking the young man's face in with her fist but she listened to what Viola had said.
"I do not know what you are but you seem cursed. Either by blood or some other reason. Or both. But you did something that helps that dark force pursue you, yet I do not know what.

Vanessa wondered why did this man know Viola. And more of the matter, why is he asking questions? "You met Viola before? I want to know, as I am her mother. So best not make the mother angry if you know something about my kin." She said to the man with a hint of anger in her tone. Chesire took notice but didn't want to be hurt. Since she was the only person who can make the Roman Guard Captain cringe in pain. In both mental and physical pain.

Rayleonardo knew now that what the silver haired girl spoke was true.Indeed darkness flowed in his veins, and tainted his soul. However, he did not know that it made him resonate with such unholy energy. A question sated, but many more to be answered from this.
“But… hum… Who is that young woman you thought I was?” The girl asked
"You met Viola before? I want to know, as I am her mother. So best not make the mother angry if you know something about my kin." The mother was very stern, but Ray didnt know how to answer, but he would do his best.
"It seems like...we walked the same road for awhile. Companions perhaps? Your garb and hair I do not recall, but your face seems very familiar. I cant quite...Im just positive we've at least met."
RayLeonardo tried his best to justify his hunch about their former acquaintance.
"As for what you told me...youre right."
He kneeled down to make himself less threatening while he spoke of something that my make him seem dangerous.
"I was born royal, but a bastard of an Egyptian trader...or so I thought. This darkness you sense began with that. My contempt for the others for chastising me, and someone I once traveled with...someone I thought I loved. Finally seeking a power great enough to find her, only to learn the dark truth of what I've done."
He bowed his head in shame and penance, as if God himself was looking at him with judging eyes.
"I committed a sin, and ignorantly helped a great dark power beyond imagining. I seek a way to stop him, and all the clues I have...are the shards of a spear I once had. And I lost the only one I still possessed, from a powerful wolfman."
RayLeonardo stood back up, looking at the ladies with honest eyes. "I seek a way to defeat him, and to find out the connection between the shards and me. That is why I seek a gypsy I met shortly before I was sent to Egypt."
RayLeonardo said, sitting down exhausted from explaining almost his whole adventure.
"That is why I am in Rome, Italy. To find out how to kill...a dark god."

"It seems like...we walked the same road for awhile. Companions perhaps? Your garb and hair I do not recall, but your face seems very familiar. I cant quite...Im just positive we've at least met."
Viola was listening to him with interest, hoping she would remember something. Did they walked the same road in Osthreinsburg? Or here, in Italy since they both were here now? Or somewhere else? And when? RayLeonardo continued speaking.
"As for what you told me...youre right."
He kneeled down to make himself less threatening while he spoke of something that my make him seem dangerous.
Meanwhile Ludovigo came back from the church. He didn’t go in fact since the guards kept looking at him like if he was a thief and clearly showed him they were watching him so he felt embarrassed and went away. "Stupid guards…" mumbled the Italian man as he entered the place where RayLeonardo went. But as he came inside he almost bumped on Chesire who was drinking his tea.
"Oh! Huh… hi…" He gave an embarrassed smile to the Vatican guard while lifting his cap in a polite salutation hoping he didn't hear what he said before he looked around for RayLeonardo. He then noticed him with two women. They seemed to be whispering together, RayLeonardo was kneeling beside the table. What were they talking about? Was he making some marriage proposal? Probably not, but their discussion seemed important… Were they the gypsies he was looking for? They looked strange, they could be gypsies… A little curious about them, Ludovigo tried to listen from afar since he didn’t dare come closer and interrupt them. Maybe he should go get some tea to not look too indiscrete in front of that Vatican captain and to get farther from him as well…
Meanwhile the discussion was still going on. "I was born royal, but a bastard of an Egyptian trader...or so I thought. This darkness you sense began with that. My contempt for the others for chastising me, and someone I once traveled with...someone I thought I loved. Finally seeking a power great enough to find her, only to learn the dark truth of what I've done." He bowed his head in shame and penance, as if God himself was looking at him with judging eyes.
Still listening without a word, Viola thought: He was born royal… And I know I have some education… I must come from a rich family as well… Was I among those who chastised him? Was I a friend instead? Was I the one he travelled with? No… I don’t think so… His sin… He did… Viola had the feeling she knew what he did but couldn’t figure out what it was either. She had difficulties seeing more of his story since she was mixed with her own feelings and fears. She thought: Why must I bring my past in his story? It doesn’t help anything! I am too confused to help him or too troubled to help myself … The young man continued speaking.
"I committed a sin, and ignorantly helped a great dark power beyond imagining. I seek a way to stop him, and all the clues I have...are the shards of a spear I once had. And I lost the only one I still possessed, from a powerful wolfman."
A wolfman… muttered Viola lost in her thoughts. She never saw a wolfman yet it sounded strange to hear that… or familiar? Or the future? So confusing… But she came back with the actual situation. RayLeonardo stood back up, looking at the ladies with honest eyes. "I seek a way to defeat him, and to find out the connection between the shards and me. That is why I seek a gypsy I met shortly before I was sent to Egypt." RayLeonardo said, sitting down exhausted from explaining almost his whole adventure.
"That is why I am in Rome, Italy. To find out how to kill...a dark god."
"Many path leads to Rome but not many to a god's destruction… So you seek an evil item to fight an evil god… I do not think you will be well equipped with that shard for a mission of good…"
After some pondering she added: "Yet the vines can rot from the inside… Maybe… That spear… does it comes from your father?"
After a moment she added: "… And that gypsy… or that wolfman… I cannot see anything… Maybe the light of moon could guide my eyes later since in the moon, I see everything. But the day is blinding, I'm sorry."

"Stupid guards…" mumbled the Italian man as he entered the place where RayLeonardo went. But as he came inside he almost bumped on Chesire who was drinking his tea.
"Oh! Huh… hi…"
"Salutations??" The captain says while he drank his tea while having a clued look on his face. Was this man trying to pickpocket the royal captain of the guards? He shouldn't worry. But Chesire keeps a narrow blue eye on the man.
Vanessa listened to RayLeonardo's story. To kill a dark god... "Hmm.. Dark God.." Vanessa ponders as she thinks into what the man said. Wolfman, another interesting topic caught her ears. "You are a lancer.. You seem good at it sir. But its no Longinus that you speak of. But it seems worthy of you to find." Vanessa said calmly as she looked at the man kneeling before them.
