As the soldiers marched them off, Jonathan was separated, but Sanctus ended up in front of Lilith. "So, miss-knight-in-shiny-armor, what brought you here to this fabulous city?" He said over his shoulder with a grin and a grandiose gesture. "That is none of your business." She replied angrily. "If I had know I would have gotten in this mess I would have left you to die there." "Oh, come on, don't be like that. Maybe this was unavoidable, call it fate or destiny or Naga's will or whatever." A soldier, overhearing him, shouted "Keep quiet!" And cuffed him on the head. "Urk," grunted Sanctus. "Thanks for that, mate, you are just too kind." He muttered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Lilith couldn't help herself, she waited until he moved away, "If you keep up annoying people like that, your going to end up getting yourself killed." She cautioned him. Sanctus grinned again, "I literally can't help it, once I start shooting of at the mouth, it is impossible for me to stop." Unfortunately, the same solider heard him "I said no talking!" He shouted as he smacked Sanctus with his spear. Sanctus just took it. "Anyway, as I was saying--" Sanctus started to say. "Don't bother, I have nothing more to say to you." Lilith interrupted. Sanctus sighed and said, "At least keep up the banter. It helps me keep my mind of the pain, and it irritates these grim-faced basterds." He nodded to the soldiers all around them. That same soldier overheard him again, "Enough!" He shouted and swung his spear at the back of Sanctus's head. Quick as a snake, he ducked, and kicked low, tripping the soldier and sending him sprawling. "You idiot." Lilith muttered. Sanctus straitened up, and put his still-shackled hands up in a nonthreatening position as the rest of the squad surrounded him and leveled their spears. "I guess you can add assaulting a soldier to what ever list of charges you have against me." He drawled. The soldiers came at him in a wave, and Sanctus was beat him to the ground for the second time in as many hours. Eventually the leader broke them up. He roughly drew Sanctus to his feet. He look him up and down at the bruises that were already showing up. He shook his head and chuckled, "You have balls kid, I'll give you that much." His expression turned angry, "Keep your damn trap shut!" He shouted in Sanctus's face. The troop re-organized themselves and continued marching. "Well, do you hurt less now?" Lilith teased. Surprisingly, Sanctus gave his same grin "Yes actually." He said cheerfully, but woozily. Lilith just shook her head at him. They continued marching on in silence.
