[color=0072bc]"Better the devil I know."[/color] Her words were under her breath and quiet as she sat there. Rutherford stood there and quirked a brow as he watched people climb out of the carriage. Millicent looked down at the floor of the carriage, gripping the edge of the seat before a hand came into her view. It was Rutherfords and he was looking at her rather impatiently. She swallowed and took his hand, letting him help her out. Inside Lady Kirkpatrick was already heading to the stairs that lead up to her quarters. Her nephew had come out of the drawing room and was standing there looking rather confused as Lord Egerton waltzed right through the door. "This is an unexpected surprise," he said as he moved over to the man and shook his hand. "What brings you here?" "To refresh if you don't mind, among other things," Egerton said with a scowl. [color=f7976a]"One of which would be tending to the dead, send a messenger to the church, we have an attack that must be reported."[/color] The Lady's words were short before she glanced back at Maeve. [color=f7976a]"DO fill them in, I do not know if I can speak [i]incompetent[/i] right now."[/color] It seemed that the Lady of the house was not going to bother trying to dumb herself down to get the point across or to retell a tale she had no want to. Her feet moving up the stairs quietly but her cane was anything but. It pounding hard with each and every thud against the hardwood. Thomas was the one that was bewildered that was for sure as he looked towards his aunt and then back at Lord Egerton. "What in blue blazes is going on?" he asked. Rutherford looked down at Millicent as she stood there, placing a finger under her chin and lifting her head a bit. "You need to fix your makeup, quick," he said in a short voice. "Then we need to leave and get this over with, don't you agree?" he said from between gritted teeth. Millicent looked up at him and could feel her body shaking. There was a nod from her before she was lead towards the house. It had barely been two hours since they left Port Annan and a lot had already happened, even more the last two days. It was all a whirl wind but she kept to her feet as the carriage driver began to start taking the bodies off of the top of the carriage and lay them down on the ground next to it.

Rocking back and forth on the back two legs of the chair he sat in as he sipped from his cup. he coughed slightly as he took a drink and set the cup down as he wiped away the beads of wine that flung to his face. "That sounds horrific, tis a good thing you were approached by someone you can trust," he said before getting up and grabbing a linen to pat dry his top. His back remaining to the two of them for a moment before turning back to them. "She must be very dear to you to go on this crusade to save her. Is she known for making such horrible decisions?" he asked as he sat back down and refilled his glass. Regalia chuckled a bit as he spoke and she shrugged. "Что ж, приятно знать, что ты можешь сказать, что я не один из них. Как бы забавно ни было скрестить с тобой лезвия, я сомневаюсь, что мне было бы слишком страшно, если бы мне пришлось потушить этот огонь в тебе," she said with a bit of a laugh before downing the rest of her wine. "Что касается того, какие меры необходимо принять, мои люди останавливаются на море, когда это возможно. Мы не делаем добро на земле. В любой жизни." On the main deck, things were calm. Hazel was sitting down on a crate. Knotting, unknotting, and reknotting a rope. Looking up she spotted Constantin and kept knotting the rope without looking at it. "The loud ones with the Captain," she said pointing towards the door to Captains quarters. "The pair is in there," she said pointing in the other direction towards the kitchen. "Try not to break a nose or a mast," she added with a chuckle before she heard a whistle. Looking up at the wheel she nodded and set the rope down before she began to climb the main mast to the crows nest. Regalia's head turned towards the door as she heard the loud whistle. "Seems we are approaching the shore," she said as she stood up and corked the bottle of wine. Hazel took post in the crows nest and whistled back as the crew started to prepare to lower the sails and go through the motions so they could dock soon.

They were at the edge of the town on the north side now. Things were moving slowly as they were on foot. Off in the distance was a carriage post. "It could be but not have I visited so far south in some time. Sands never do well for old men," he chuckled. "At least that is what they say. Never seen it but it is spoken of that is resides far outside of the reach of the gods. At least their gods. Far in the lands of other gods. Though I think they are all just the same, wandering around and playing games. A good game is such fun, especially if you can pull the wool over ones eyes. People are so quick to leave it in place." Stopping his stride he looked at the carriage post that was closer and noted several there milling about. There was a carriage or two and many horses. "Ah yes, perhaps we can save our shoes? How well can you play the weak maiden? And I play the old man? Far stretch for me I know but I shall try. Let them take pity on us," he chuckled and nodded in the direction of the post. If they could secure a carriage ride, they could cover more ground far more swiftly than if they continued to walk.
