How can I tell you I'll protect you
Until my very dying breath?
How can I tell you that I am there for you
Each and every day?

Each and every day?
Sabhal plucked the key out of Ailin's hands and opened the child's bonds before taking off her own. Rubbing her wrists she dropped the chain on the ground. She'd find some better way to dispose of it later. As he walked off, Sabhal rolled her eyes and made a small, rude gesture behind his back.
Ailin frowned and placed her hands on Sabhal's. The dhampir looked down at the child and shook her head.
Sabhal Speech
"You go find something to do, I've got to get these 'goyles placed right."
Sabhal Thought
'And unbroken,' She added silently. With a sigh she walked up to the humans. She stopped and crossed her arms, rolling her eyes as they fumbled with another gargoyle. Seriously, it took two of them to carry one? And they still had trouble? Sabhal shook her head.
Gesturing to the nearest one, she made a 'come hither' motion. "You and your men are no longer needed, I will finish the process on my own."
The man looked at her skeptically, looking her up and down. No doubt he was thinking about the fact that she looked mostly like a human woman and was wearing the ratty clothing that had been given her at the Shop. As well as looking malnourished, the man assumed she was weak.
"Look, lady. We're here 'cuz we were hired to do a job and we'll be here 'til the job is done. So why don't you just stand over there and look pretty?"
Sabhal's nostrils flared. She wanted to pound the man to a pulp, but she wasn't certain if her new Master would allow that or not, so she settled for grabbing the man. Her hands around his upper arms, she squeezed. Not too hard, just hard enough to bruise.
"I will not 'stand there and look pretty', you witless plague-riddled lout. If you would like, you and your men can supervise, but stay out of my way."
She released him then, and bared her teeth in a facsimile of a smile. Sabhal watched with a smirk as he started shouting orders to the others. Telling them to stop for a break. The dhampir rolled her eyes, good enough. Rolling her shoulders, Sabhal got to work. She hefted a gargoyle with one arm, using the other for balance.
In half an hour the rest of the gargoyle's were in place, not a single one broken or scratched. Brushing dust off of her hands, she smiled and waved at the man she had spoken to. Sabhal laughed as he paled and began talking animatedly with the rest of the men as they packed up to leave.
Ailin Speech
"You didn't have to hurt him." Ailin's quiet voice was suddenly at her elbow.
Sabhal rolled her eyes and looked at the child. "He's lucky. I could have killed him. Or at least fed off of him."
While she didn't need to feed off of human's there was always a feeling of satisfaction knowing she had the power to kill them so easily. There was also the strength and speed increase that came with it, that was nice too.
"Come on, Ailin. Let's see what kind of person our new Master is, hm?" With that she took the girls hand and they began to explore, heading towards the mansion.
Ailin Thought.'
