Pretty boys and giants
When they found a man in a cabinet tied up, Aconite raised a brow before Leon ripped the tape off his mouth.
"Ow! You're a little rough, don't you think?" The man complained as Leon flipped him over to undo his hands.
"Trust me, Leon is gentle." Aconite smirked at the man who blushed at her words.
"I see you are not like them?"
"No, you?"
"Okay, I have only one very important question, either of you got smokes."
"Got gum,"
Leon offered with a raised brow as Aconite shook her head at his and the man's conversation, adding her two cents,
"I don't like smokers, sir. Thus my partner does not smoke." She offered when two villagers walked in with pitchforks along with a monolith of a man who the stranger called the "Big Cheese."
Looking at the giant Aconite felt her virus flare up in fear, this man was far more dangerous than the others.
Briefly hearing Leon say what she thought, she moved to stand between the giant and Leon.
'This giant will have to go through me first if he wants to get to Leon, ' she thought as her claws extended to their full two-foot length.
Leon bolted around her to attack the giant only for his foot to be caught in a bone-crushing grip before he was thrown like a rag doll.
Catching him, mid-flight Aconite started growling loudly deep within her chest; Leon was unconscious, and she highly doubted the Spaniard behind them would be of much help.
She was proven right when one of the villagers knocked the man unconscious, leaving her alone to face the enemy.
"Stay away, bastard!" she hissed as the giant stepped forward.
When he ignored her warning, she placed Leon's comatose body behind her and threateningly raised her claws.
As the man came within five feet, she lashed out, beheading the underlings and gouging four gashes into the giant's chest.
In retaliation, the giant wrapped one of his massive hands around her throat and squeezed, making her gasp and stab the man feebly as her lungs began to burn.
"Stop fighting Hermana; it will do you no good to continue." the giant ordered, flexing his hand and rendering her unconscious, spitting a "damn you" at him as her eyes shut.
