Ray and Masquerade's RP (The Struggle)

[Masquerade]

Masquerade became alarmed. "Wait. Did you say death threats? Who in the world would send you death threats? You're just a composer, right? I mean, I know you're a noble, too, but it's not everyday that death threats are sent to important people. One would think the knights would be all over something like that."

Nothus broke out in a chuckle with a few hissing sounds thrown in. "You should know this better than anyone, Masquerade. Those good-for-nothing knights aren't going to lift a finger for anyone--whether they be commoners or nobles. And it really is such a shame, isn't it Alex? Don't worry. I'll be around to protect you." Nothus pulled Alex in a hug, his arms wrapped around the noble, shielding his back. The serpent drew close to his ear. "I want to see anyone try and carry out those death threats while I'm around," he whispered into Alex's ear, his serpentine tongue flitting gently inside.
