Sir Garrett’s eyes narrowed as the two of them both focused their collective gaze on him. [i]Oh now I see how it is. Well if we are going to play this game then, it's war.[/i] As Marianne took his other arm he exhaled slowly through his nose; how best to deal with these two in one fell swoop. Marianne was playing at something other than Julianna was. Turning he lead the two lovely girls out of the general center of attention. While the tips of his ears were quite pink from the excessive attention it did not break his alcohol bolstered social confidence. 

[i]What in the world did I do to deserve this[/i] Sir Garrett sighed as he directed them towards the edge of the room again. No doubt they needed to make an appearance before the princess; however before that he planned on not having both of them hanging on his arms. It probably would not present the best possible image for a Knight. Let alone someone who had been thrust into the spotlight as foreign nobility. Flicking his eyes he looked for an effective escape from the situation. 

“Fine if this is going to be how it is then have at.”

There were plenty of things he’d hidden from the Knights but it largely had to do with the fact that this was partially a self imposed exile. Now that he was in the spotlight here in Thaln it would no doubt cause enough of a ripple to get attention at home. Unwanted attention which could have future consequences. People had been suspicious since his sister had escaped and his brothers supporters had immediately questioned if he had let her go and used the whole thing as a ruse to keep her in his back pocket for a rainy day. 

[i]Fools, instead of chasing her they just looked to burn me at the stake instead[/i] 

Wandering his way over the line of people making to speak with the Princess he stopped with the two female knights. “You have until we reach the Princess. After that if you want more then you’re just going to have to give chase. Ask all you want but you won’t get any more from me. You’ll have to find me on the dance floor.’ He paused and thought for a moment. [i]Hopefully I still remember how.[/i] Hopefully he could hide there long enough to avoid the third degree from everyone whose ears had pricked up at the title. 

[i]Why did I come again? Stupid herald.[/i]

Looking up Sir Garrett saw a rather tall man through the crowd. The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end as he caught how the man was looking at him. [i]What the hell?[/i] Tilting his head ever so slightly he narrowed his eyes as he took in the pair. [i]Who the hell is that?[/i] The appearance scratched at the back of his mind as he lead the two through the crowd putting some space and bodies between the pair. The hairs on the back of his remained on end as he walked. The axe at his belt suddenly became far more apparent and he became incredibly aware of just hwo difficult Marianne had made it for him to defend himself.

[i]Oh this night just keeps getting better.[/i]
