... You grasped for air and stared at the figure in front of you ...

It was the barman from before.
"You're not from here, are you?", he leaned in closer, with his alcoholic-scented breath grossing you out.

"No.", you tried to pull your hand away, but his grip was tight.

His green eyes obtrusively watched into yours.
"I helped you, now it's your turn, princess."

Your heartbeat quickened.
"Let me go.", you determinedly demanded.

"Oh, how cute...", he pouted mockingly.
"How about no?", he smirked.
You furrowed your eyebrows and he cupped your cheek.
"Don't frown with that beautiful face, otherwise it's going to get-"

Swiftly you kicked his stomach and he grunted painfully, falling to the ground.
"-ugly.", you finished coldly.

"You little whore...", he lifted himself up, grabbing your collar roughly.
"I'll show you what ugly actually looks li-"

Before he could finish, you hurled around, grabbing his back and slamming him into the ground.
With your hand, you held his hand behind his back, bending his elbow and hesitating to break it.
His frightened face, which you squeezed to the tiles, looked up to you in fear.

You frowned.
"Lay your dirty fingers on me again, and I'll break your bones.", you hissed.

"Please...", he whined.
Then you saw his eyes turning away from you, directing to the opposite of both of your position.

Yours followed and recognised Levi.
He just stared at you two with an unreadable expression, not saying anything.
You then let go of the man's hand, when moving to the side.

Levi slowly marched nearer, face monotonically pointing at the man now.

He suddenly marched forward, a swift kick following the rapid movement. Levi's foot kicked the man's jaw in less than a blink.
After that, you saw a tooth flying out, followed by a high yelp.

Levi kneeled down, unimpressed eyes laying on guy.

He put a finger softly onto his own lips:
"Pshh. You don't want to wake up your guests, do you?"
The man whimpered silently and Levi turned away to face you expressionlessly.

Without him needing to tell you, you followed as he went away, both of you leaving the man on the floor behind.

Silently Levi and you made your way to the rooms. Your gaze turned to him.
"How did you know where I was?", you asked confused.

Levi:
"..."

With that, he made you go into your own room and he entered his.

Afterwards you sat down on the same spot, leaning against the bedside.
Now I won't be able to sleep at all, you thought.

Suddenly you heard a little, creaky noise coming from the door.
It was Levi, who came in with a chair.
He looked at you in question and entered.

You watched him with widened eyes.
"Will you sleep here?", you asked.

He didn't respond.
