Telius saw the unpleasant looks from several of the other Knights after he introduced themselves. He had expected some of this, those of common birth tended to judge his kind rather quickly. Some nobles certainly deserved the hate, just as some common folk did. Telius found the judgement to be irritating, but politely held his tongue. He had found that responding to the common folk, telling them that by judging him like they did they were stooping to the level of the nobles they so hated, the hate tended to grow worse. They grew angry because he was right.

The next to introduce themselves was the Knight of Arcane Spirit, Mira Bellwood. The lady took a seat next to Telius, and once again he felt strangely drawn to her, and her fox, Fayla. As she sat down next to him, he felt a strange sensation in his chest. The burning desire to aid her, to keep her safe. Telius had no idea why. Perhaps it was because she shared some similarities with the second youngest of his sisters. Sort of the black sheep of the familly with their mother's brown hair, rather than the crimson of their father.

Telius sat quietly as each Knight introduced themselves and took a seat on the wagon. As the last Knight stepped on, the wagon lurched foward, and so did the Knight, pitching forward to reveal seven arrows embedded in his back. Dead. The Knight of Light revealed his inexperience by staying where he was, covering his head as if that would protect him from the arrows. Instinct kicked in for the noble however. He slid off his seat and crouched on the floor, making himself a smaller target. As he did, he gently grabbed hold of Miss Bellwood's wrist and pulled her down too. Then, reaching across the wagon, and risking the bite of the wolf, he did the same to Leonidas.

The noble nodded in agreement when the small man in heavy armor shouted that they needed to get out of the ambush. "Agreed, both moving away from the wagon and staying inside have their risks, but I'd rather take my chances out in the open. At least for me, the chances of survival are higher." Crimson eyes scanned his companions, trying to formulate some sort of plan. He was sure there were other leaders among the Knights, and is they came up with a better plan than he, Telius would gladly yield to their lead. "Miss Bellwood, Miss Frei, can you return fire? It may distract them enough to allow us to get away from the wagon without too much risk."
