Questionable Entrance

[Albert Wesker]

They were gone. They were leaving. And he was still free.

Try as he might to hide it, an arrogant grin slowly crept across his face. And he let out a muted, coughing cackle. Fools. Once they were so certain he was caught, they'd let their guards down. And it gave him every opportunity to make a break for it. And now he was free and clear to make another go at his game.

Though hopefully with less feisty prey next time around.

The thought of how near his brush with the law had been sent a shiver down his spine. He'd had enough run ins with the law before even arriving in this blasted place; he didn't need ANY more now that he was here!

Slowly, and very, very carefully so as to make as little noise as physically possible, he crept out of the bushes he had stumbled into in his blind rush to escape under cover of his dust cloud.

"Heh. Hah. Hahaha! Once again, the great Janning escapes to fight another day!"

Almost as soon as the triumphant words had left his mouth, he clapped a hand over it. Just because he couldn't see those two interlopers anymore didn't mean sound couldn't carry to them.

"Bah. Time to get out of here."

He set about brushing the dust from his cape, a scowl on his face. It had been his favorite cape, now covered in dust and all manner of grit. The nerve...

He was so lost in his attempt to clean himself, he failed to notice another arrival on the scene. A very large, angry arrival who had seen the entire encounter. Feathers and claws flashed as the gryphon reared up behind the unsuspecting villain.

Though his posture was relaxed and at ease, only holding the reins of his horse with one hand, Kuzan's eyes constantly kept on the move behind his shades, keeping a careful watch for any more trouble, or "helpful" travellers.

As such, it was only fitting he snapped his head up and about at a sudden screech that split the air.

"GYAAAAAAGH!"

The scream that followed it, one of pure terror and no small amount of pain, caused him to furrow his eyebrows. That had not sounded like it was pleasant for the highwayman. It didn't sound like he'd been injured too terribly if he was still capable of screaming like that, but if nothing else it should keep him from messing with anyone else on the road for a while.

And that was enough for the barest hint of a smile to linger on Kuzan's features as he turned back about to face front. "Guess he was right. You really should be careful on the road."
