Her words had caught him completely off guard and it would bring up a smile onto her face as she rolled one of her shoulders. Catching his gaze with her own she could tell that the gears were moving within his head. All of her naivete was something that she knew of but she was trying so hard to fix but it seemed that once it had brought her into a situation that she was not expecting. His hand moved and touched the back of hers and it brought a shiver up her spine.
This was a moment that it seemed that her fight or flight response decided to perk itself up. Inhaling and exhaling softly as she would allow the moment to slow down within her mind. “There is so many many things and yet…” As she finished speaking she would stand up and look directly at him as she pulled her hand back.
“I do not think that this would be such a good idea. You are a charming and a very sweet gentlemen. Yet there is just something bothering me right now. It is just a… just something that I have biting the back of my mind. I thank you for the wine Ardyn. It was a sweet gesture and I really enjoyed your company…”
She would be moving and attempt to be heading outside the inn and attempt to see if she could get away. Though as she would get outside she would hear a distant shriek of something that she knew was an aerial beast. Looking to the sky she could not help but cover her head as a scaled beast would appear in the distance.
{{Hope you do not mind me swapping things around and avoiding a rather.. nasty fate for Terra. }}

[attr="class","oneword1"] [attr="class","fromyou1"] Terra Branford Maybe end scene? xD Ardyn's not getting involved. I'm an impatient traveler ready to turn ship.
She was a rabbit enthralled to the fox, frozen with her eyes wide and her ears perked. For a moment, neither moved as Ardyn tilted his head and shot her his most earnest half-smile. Then she pulled her hand away. ”There are so many things, and yet…” She rose from her chair, watching him as she took a step back. Ardyn raised an eyebrow.
”Oh come now…” he tried, but she was already talking over him in a rushed attempt to excuse herself. She told him that it wasn’t a good idea. That there was something biting at the back of her mind. That he was charming and she was sorry but she had to go, and Ardyn just watched her with his cheek in his palm and his eyebrow raised in interest. ”Something biting? That couldn’t be me, could it?” He leaned back as she passed his chair, reaching out a hand to brush her cheek, but she was gone before the touch could connect. He watched after her, skittering away on tilted heels that pattered against the floor like the click of a mouse’s paws.
Gone too far already. He sighed. Following her now would undoubtedly attract too much attention. He leaned haughtily against the back of his chair and poured himself another glass of wine. She was far too uninteresting to bother with any further. Alas, it seemed he had once again wasted his time.
The front door opened and clicked closed. Gone. Ardyn sighed and swirled the wine in his glass wistfully. He needed a goal – something to occupy his mind and his plotting. Something to keep him sane. He brought the glass to his lips, but the wine tasted almost bitter with his displeasure.
’Noctis, why must I wait? Won’t you give me something to die for?’
There was a strange and animalistic screech from outside. Ardyn paused as the bar went silent, listening. All around, the air prickled with fear. Someone shouted out something like “It’s here!” and “Not again!” The windows were promptly avoided as several uneasy patrons slid under their tables, huddling there in fear. Ardyn tilted his head and squinted at the glass. For a moment, he saw only the street and Terra out on it. She looked up to the sky, her eyes widened, and then she covered her head with her arms. There was another screech and then he saw the shadow.
Ardyn blinked in mild surprise. The girl was about to be attacked by a dragon.
”What a tragic turn of events,” he lamented, propping his cheek on his palm. He’d heard tales of wild dragons attacking cities, but he hadn’t actually seen it, and he’d been dreadfully curious. It seemed a little odd that it would wait until reaching the city’s heart before attacking, and even odder that it should appear with so little warning, but he wasn’t about to complain. Instead, he sighed with a shake of his head and watched the street intently from his table near the back. ”If only something could be done!” The man under the table beside him raised a finger to his lips and hushed him so as not to attract the thing’s attention. Ardyn smirked and turned to better watch the action.
No one would ask him for help. He’d given no signs that he even could, and of course, he wouldn’t lift a finger against it even if it opened the front door in its talons and decided he was the perfect victim out of thousands. The girl would either fight it off or die. Either way, he thought this was a much more entertaining use of his time.
”Such a pity.” He swirled the wine and took a long drink. It stained his lips like blood.
((No problem! That’s why I warned you!))

The screeching would make Terra internally become terrified as the memories of the beasts that had assaulted her and her friends came flooding back to her. Yet it was in that moment she would in hale and exhale sharply. Visibly the frail woman would straighten up her back and her head would slowly move to a more stalwart position. As if on cue to Ardyn saying if there was something to be done Terra would no longer cower toward the beast. Instead she would have closed her eyes and her arms would lower to her side as the dragon was still swirling about the skies above. It seemed to be a solitary dragon scales as black as the night sky with eyes glowing with red fury.
“Enough…. There… is enough destruction.” Her words were rather silent compared to the screech of the dragon as it swirled one final time before reaching an apex of its height and turning to move toward her. In a near supersonic movement she would scream out as she allowed the magical powers held deep within to burst forth and cover her body inside the orchid colored fur and glowing light of her magical form. Magic would begin to pulse around her hands as she focused a powerful magic that in the moment the beast was about to hit her she would dodge into the air.
Spinning into the night sky with her flight she would watch the dragon move and slither into the air surprised that his prey had moved so effortlessly away from him. With several powerful flaps of its wings it would be into the air and moving to attack Terra once more. Dodging one of his sharp claws she would launch the magic. “ULTIMA!” With little regard but to stop the dragon she hit it with a single blinding blue flash of magic that slowly encompassed the dragon in the air. Despite the powerful magic impacting the beast it still was flying in the air as it regained its bearing.
Terra was on the ground looking up at the beast once more. This time however the meek mouse was actually showing the true claws that hid beneath her exterior. Her hands tightened into fists as she chanted a Quick Spell. In the view of the bar window she would seemingly shimmer and split as two powerful magics would rock the bar and city block as they impacted the dragon. Fire and smoke would cover the area as the dragon would impact the very spot that she had just been standing. It seemed that despite this assault that the beast was still going to rise up once more and Terra knew she was going to be in for a long fight should she not gain any sort of assistance.
If Ardyn came out of the bar he would see her flying in the air a speck in comparison to the beast that she was fighting yet she was still going to do so. Her entire aura crackled with magical energies as she readied herself for the next attack from the dragon.
