[color=ed1c24] “Well this was a total waste of time...”[/color] Ki'ira said as she found the place marked on the map. She expected something to be here, but this was pretty much useless. If it was a bandit camp, she was going to walk away in quite the better position that right now even if it was a town, there was bound to be at least someone who can answer some of her questions. And the storm was picking up once more... this deafening sound was so irritating. It was part of the blessing of her mother... What else can you expect from a trickster anyways? As she was busy pondering where to head to now, suddenly she managed to discern a sound that was clearly not the raindrops! Her head tilted as a host of soldiers quickly appeared from the forest, pointing arrows at her. They wore a crest, she vaguely recognized to whom this crest was, but soliders with a crest usually meant royal ones... such a pain to deal with. At the order to halt in place, her eyebrow rose a little...[color=ed1c24]” * sigh* Seriously? I'm kind of already standing in place...”[/color] She said, feeling old.[color=ed1c24]” Since when do people not even know the meaning of their own words...”[/color] Ki'ira said quite out loud with a grin on her face, clearly making fun of the whole situation. True enough she wore no armor, had only a knife for a weapon, but it still was such an amusing situation. The soldiers seemed to not like her response here, but they still didn't fire.[color=ed1c24]” Whoa... such a royal subjects~”[/color] She whistled in addition. [color=ed1c24]“Hmmm...”[/color] She said at their orders to give up and be arrested. Sure enough she could probably break away free at any time and having someone to guide her in the direction of the nearest town was going to be a good thing. She may even get a meal or two if she just complied and went with them. The man who shouted at her was just about to shout again, but he was interrupted by her.[color=ed1c24]” No need to repeat yourself! In Vinsha's sake, my ears already hurt from that rain, I don't want to hear you shout on top of that. I will now discard my weapons, so no need to fire at me alright?”[/color] She said, and received a nod from the solider. Then she quickly pulled the small knife she got from the bandits earlier.[color=ed1c24]” Is this small knife for food considered weapon?”[/color] She asked with straight face and the man just quickly muttered an annoyed [b]”YES!”[/b] So she threw the knife on the ground, then she pulled one sharpened stick she made earlier and asked him the same question and the reply was the same. This continued for a few more sticks, before the man exploded.[b]” That's enough! Stop messing with us! YES ALL SHARP POINTY STICKS YOU HAVE ARE CONSIDERED WEAPONS! DROP THEM ALL ON THE GROUND!”[/b] He shouted in anger, which made Ki'ira only grin victoriously as she quickly threw the last few spikes on the ground. She even threw the spare set of clothing she had on the ground.[color=ed1c24]” Now do be gentle mister soldier~”[/color] She whistled as the man approached to place a pair of big metal handcuffs on her hands.[color=ed1c24]” Ohhh how kinky...”[/color] She said with a giggle in the man's face, before he quickly turned his face away from her. This was a blast to play with people!” Now follow us obediently and you will not be harmed.” The man stated and made a gesture for her to walk in front, so the archers will be behind her and shoot her if she tries to run away. [color=ed1c24]“So, excuse me mister royal soldier, but what am I arrested for exactly? I'm pretty sure I haven't been robbing anyone in the last few days, to deserve this treatment.”[/color] She asked, her voice still as carefree as earlier. She knew very well who probably was responsible for this, she was going to have a long talk with those two if she ever found them again, but she didn't consider taking their stuff a theft, after all they did try to rob her first.[color=ed1c24]” Also where are we going? Is it far? Will I get something to eat? Something to drink? A warm bed? Is something going on with the gods?”[/color] She quickly threw in a bunch of questions with the most important being the last one being the most important one. If the man tried to reply to all of her question in order fast, there was a pretty big chance he will reply to the last one before thinking. [color=ed1c24][i]'Fast talk for the win~'[/i][/color] She thought in her mind.
