It looked like Joslin didn't know who to hit first. Even with the suddenness of the rising, the Russian knew who was behind it. Blaine might have done the deed, but the plan of it could only have come from his previous Master.

"I'll make you regret your mercy- I would have rather died then help your guilt!" Joslin lunged at Blaine, fist swinging. Had Matt been closer, there was no doubt that the fledgling would have gone for him, but Joslin wasn't about to waste his opportunity.

The man had a vicious temper, however tightly controlled in life. Death amplified that Tank mentality and Joslin felt prepared to brawl. Everything he knew about Vampires was forgotten the moment he became one.

Matthew jumped the bar as soon as Joslin attacked, but he wanted to give Blaine a chance to handle it.
