Ian was about to response to the mage's remark about the city hideaway, but before he could yet another person stumbled upon their group and then, in what became a rather eventful five minutes, they were then joined by a person holding up there own head which startled a traveling merchant that was stopping by and then the Royal mage shot lightning in her direction after just paying a mercenary that was fishing in the river they had just come out of. This was really coming to be quite the spectacle.

He tapped the princess on the shoulder again to regain her attention "We clearly cannot stay here, especially with this sort of excitement brewing up. The mage puts far too much faith in his guards, from the city to the border I can get you where you want to go, you need only pick a direction" While he didn't outwardly show it, he was getting a little anxious to move on and get away from the castle.
