Axel smiled politely at Amalia when she apologized for naming him incorrectly assuming that he was their host. "No need to apologize, it was an honest mistake. Had I not known our host was a man I would have assumed you were the one who invited me as well." Axel stated as he remained calm and collected speaking with proper manners not wanting to seem like a roughneck in front of such an elegant looking young lady. "Well I purchase the same brand, I'm wearing Blue De Chanel so the scent seemed familiar." The young man explained as he gazed upon her figure again once they were sat down to have their meal. "Not really contemporary music but rock music." Axel said as he didn't really get what she meant by contemporary since he never took actual musical lessons and was a self-taught musician who got into it on his own. He didn't even really know what the word contemporary meant but he assumed it was some musical word.
Axel cleared his throat and rubbed his chin when Amalia spoke of the possibility of being either a lawyer or a doctor. "If I may be so bold? There is no way someone as beautiful and stunning as you would be a doctor, not with that amazing figure. Doctors and Lawyers would be too busy to keep up their physical appearance, its only natural that a musician would have some time allotted to physical training since its needed to stay healthy to perform at their best. Like I said though, you are definitely a musician with a body like yours." Axel listened as Amalia explained that she was part of an orchestra. "Oh you're one of those fancy musicians who play in a large group. That makes sense seeing as the way you look. You give off an air of sophistication." Axel seemed to sense the disdain a bit when it came to the type of music he played. He didn't quite understand it but he figured it was just her personal taste. When she spoke of his 'budget suit' even though she stated he looked handsome in it, the fact she called it a budget suit cut him a little deep. "Well not everyone is well off, I purchase what is affordable to me." Axel sighed as he scratched his cheek looking at Amalia and licked his lips.
"Like I said the door won't open its stuck or locked." The young man said as he gazed at Amalia standing next to him by the door before they had moved on to try and open the windows. To no avail the windows were also locked. Having been in thought he looked up from the floor holding his chin after Amalia warned him of an armed figure outside the window, hearing such a thing he couldn't help his curiosity and turned ever so slightly to look out and stared at the figure for a split second before the knife came crashing through the window shattering the glass and sliced down his right shoulder blade sending a ripple of pain through his back as his suit was sliced up a bit. "Gahk! Bastard!" Axel shouted before rushing away and turned around and scanned the room quickly to try and find some sort of weapon to fight their assailant. "What is the meaning of this?!" Axel exclaimed as he picked up a chair not finding much else to fend the mysterious figure off with.
As the young man grabbed the chair he stood in front of Amalia instinctively to try and protect her, when he did she couldn't see his back very well in such a dark suit aside from when the thunder struck which allowed her to see how the suit had been sliced into and blood stained the area around the cut. At the same time the area in which the blood soaked was slowly growing, meanwhile Axel had his full attention on the figure which had climbed through the broken window into the dining hall, rain battering the floor and wind violently blowing through the new opening filling the room with an eerie chill. "Stay behind me Amalia, I don't know who this is or what they're deal is but they won't get to you while I'm here!" Axel said as he felt a searing pain in his back which started off hot and turned cold as well as began to throb. Of course Axel didn't know Amalia that well, but it didn't mean he was going to just abandon her to be subjected to whatever twisted things the figure which had their features hidden with a plain mask could think up. He wasn't the type to turn tail and run when there was a fight that needed to be fought, he had been raised to always protect women and treat them with respect by his mother. He never really knew his father but his mother had raised him to the best of her abilities which he respected and loved her for.
When the figure started to approach them Axel swung the chair as hard as he could back and forth causing the figure to jump back temporarily out of reach, as he did swinging the chair only worsened the pain in Axel's back but he couldn't just give up because of a little pain. Besides that it wasn't as if it was his first time experiencing such intense pain since growing up he had broken more than his fair share of bones due to acting stupid and recklessly as a youth. Putting up with a gash on his back was nothing compared to the time he broke his collarbone when he fell hard trying to stop himself with an outstretched arm when he went snowboarding, or the time he broke his leg due to being tackled during a friendly game of football among friends. Again the shadowy masked figure attempted to get close to attack when Axel stopped swinging the chair to catch his breath which had become labored due to the pain and the exertion of trying to swing such a well made chair. When the figure lunged, the young man flinched for a moment only to get the knife stabbed into the bottom of the chair a portion of the blade sticking out the top of the seat inches from his chest startling him at the freakish strength the figure had. Taking the chance that gave him with how the knife was stuck, Axel shoved the figure with the chair and then kicked at their stomach before lifting the chair above his head to slam it down upon the figure who was frantically trying to get back up from being knocked down. CRACK! was all you heard before the figure was knocked unconscious, momentarily giving Axel and Amalia some reprieve.
"While they're out, lets get out of here! We can either go out the window into the storm or try and break the door down. It's your decision Amalia, but make it quick! What do you wanna do?" Axel said as they needed to get out of there and he needed to have his injured tended to before it got any worse or before he lost any more blood. It was already difficult for him to breath from just the bit of exertion he put in while injured. Not wanting any more chances of being cut, Axel decided to carefully remove the knife from the chair to take it with them not wanting to leave it with such a psychopathic bastard who clearly had no sanity considering they attacked him when his back was turned and tried to kill them. Hearing her decision, Axel quickly moved around the masked figure after taking her hand to help her through the broken window breaking down any glass still sticking up so as to prevent any further cuts for either of them.
Climbing out the window after Amalia, the rain was freezing cold and the wind did not help any as they made their way away from the window and attempted to look for shelter somewhere which was difficult due to the visibility of having such a heavy downpour. "I think there is a shed over there! Lets head for it and try to see if we can get inside out of this heavy rain and this freezing air!" Axel shouted to her as the rain made it difficult to hear with how loud it was coming down and took her hand rushing towards the silhouette of what seemed to be a gardener's shed only to find it had a lock on it. Lucky for them there was a shovel nearby which he picked up and stabbed at the lock to try and bust it off before going inside and closed the door behind them feeling both freezing cold and as if he was burning up now. His once slicked hair covering his eyes having the gel rinsed out of it from the heavy rain. "We should be alright in here for a little bit if we don't turn the light on at least.. But we'll have to get moving after we come up with a plan of what we are to do next." Axel said as he was shivering feeling cold as they both had gotten drenched by the rain like drowned rats. To warm up their only option would be to rub against one another and cause friction or to huddle together.
