Fascinating.

Lara's ruby eyes surveyed the vast hall before falling on a young man with brown hair. The world came to a halt as she made her way inside and in just two seconds she was standing in front of him protectively.

"Master, Are you unharmed?"

She received no response and had to look over her shoulder for confirmation. The young man appeared just fine. At the very least, he had no visible wounds.

Mark's head jerked up slightly and pleasant surprise colored his face.

"Lara! You came just in time!"

What an entrance. The maid's stunning appearance along with the bloody backdrop had left everyone stunned. She managed to kill the tension in the hall and draw their attention to her, though she was the only one who was able to make use of that momentary pause.
