(This is a collab post with me and Twisted) [color=ed1c24]As Blayze leaned in to whisper to the Queen, the commander grabbed the back of his shirt, yanking him back, “No, you have no right to speak to her. No offense, milady, but if she made it an order to go looking for allies, and an order for neither of you to stay, then that was stupid, but you’re not simply soldiers,” He said, looking to Rand as he said this, “You’re knights.You are above simple orders and just doing as you’re told. You have the brains in your skulls to make decisions, logical decisions, and one of you should have made the decision to stay,” he looked back to Blayze, “And when you’re ready to admit you’re wrong, that’s when I’ll give you permission to breath the same air as her,” he said before pushing him away from Rhysln.[/color] [color=ed1c24]Rhysln bit her lip when Bayweil pulled Blayze back, having seen that coming, but she was not about to step on his toes. He was the commander for a reason. He knew battle and strategy, something she was still honestly figuring out. She cleared her throat before looking towards Ilsibin, “I don’t think we can honestly predict the battles, I’m sure the closer we get the more desperate the attacks will be, but I’ve seen enough of the generals to know, considering he pulled them from the people directly. They were lords on the fringes of Waylox that felt that I was too soft and that I should have let the Yeojin handle their problems on their own and I should never have intervened period. My actions there is what drove them to join him.”[/color] [color=0072bc]The tattered cloak of a large figure enters the establishment with a rather awkward silence about him. The cowl looks about before looking on the rather rambunctious group. The movements of the figure would have given the impression that it was a ghost, but it was just a ridiculous amount of grace... "How? I have been absent for something close to two star cycles and yet you let the kingdom fall into such dissaray. A fools errand I know, but still. You managed to let the entire kingdom fall. And now rather than try to attract little attention as possible, I find you mid a open quarrel in a tavern with more than three sets of prying eyes....On top of that you are bickering over childish nonsense." At the ends of his words the cowl slid down showing a very dishevled Glenndaugion. A rather tired smile on his face but his eyes pertray his irritation towards the Knight commander. "Rather than throttle the young Blayze, perhaps you could fill me in on the situation." [/color] [color=ed1c24]“It seems while I was out gathering information and trying to find allies worth our time when we get out of this village, both of these two,” Bayweil thumbed to the knights, “Left as well, on the same errand, bringing back all of these misfits, though, it seems the Empress sent some of her own people as well,” he motioned to the few that just didn’t seem to fit, “The fact she knew where to send them troubles me… But this means we need to get going very soon- why are you in such bad shape?” he raised a brow, concerned what kind of things that meant. Rhysln and Nautica both seemed very relieved to see Glenndaugion, to know he was alright, but neither of them said anything since he had made a good point about the fact they were kind of beacons when they should have been a little better hidden.[/color] [color=0072bc]Glenndaugion seemed a tad shocked, he wiped his face a noticed the long since dried blood. "Oh my, I have been quite out of sorts. The fact that I was able to find a specific location I took a more risky route to get here." He began to free his rather long hair from his robes, its length rivialed the queens, it had been some time since he had taken the time to maintain it though. "I mistakenly distrubed a pair of rock wraiths in the deep wood. As you know, I am not skilled in the sating of the spirits so I was forced to excersie them with force." Glenndaugion turned to the Queen and her sister and looked at them with a rather irritated smile. "My ladies, I know you are both in a trying time, but it is common practice to not leave the queen without a bishop when you send away your knight-" He cut his sentence short as he jerked around, and a flash explodes from the cloak. A singular blade met the forehead of a individual who had just entered, Glenndaugion turned around with an apologetic look. "We must cut this lecture short I am afraid. I believe that is the first of many. Too many high value persons in one place."[/color] [color=ed1c24]The commander was about to ask what he thought he was doing, but when he spoke, he nodded, understanding what he meant, “Let’s get moving then,” He said and Rhysln and Nautica stood up, “Unfortunately with only the mountains and the deep woods around us, our exit routes are rather limited," he mused, trying to plan a few steps ahead. In the woods, they were undoubtedly going to be ambushed, but they could also run in to some inhuman threats. "The two of us being unarmed makes us burdens and easy targets," Rhysln pointed out but the commander's hand on her head was her cue not to keep trying to insinuate she should get a weapon[/color] [color=0072bc]"The day I trust you with a sword is the day I admit the commander can best me in dress." Glenndaugion wasted little time poking his head out the door checking the surroundings, he pulls back in wondering how well the scouts of the group are. "Those of you who are fleet of foot, would you please find us a route that won't immediately result in violence?" [/color] [color=ed1c24]To say a slight look of insult crossed Rhysln's face would be an understatement, but she quickly cleared her expression and stepped out of the way to allow anyone who wanted to take up the chance to prove themselves from the start out of the tavern. Mawblack found the experience much more frustrating by the second, having to reply on people he didn't know or trust yet to assure the safety of the two royals.[/color]
