[table][row][i][b][color=mediumslateblue]Belisendé[/color][/b] [color=thistle]Evening[/color] | Stables -> Castle | Garleton, Lothian Empire[/i][/row][cell] Belisendé watched as the other rider quickly dispatched the would-be opportunist of a bandit, taking in the arc of his sword as it connected with the other man, blood flying before the bandit fell. The way the young man had quickly thought up a distraction plan just a few moments ago, and the way he handled his blade and deftly maneuvered his horse was expert and inspiring. Bel breathed, trying to calm herself down, and now that she got a much better look at the man she could tell her must have been a trained knight. It was lucky that he had found her. If the bandit archer had noticed her and attacked... if the axeman had used her single-minded focus on the assailant to sneak up behind her instead... The train of thought brought gruesome images to her mind, and she shook her head as if to clear it of such things. [color=mediumslateblue]"Thank you,"[/color] she said to the rider, [color=mediumslateblue]"I... Just, thank you."[/color] As far as thanks went, it was pretty lame, but the state of her mind let alone the state of the surrounding city had affected her. Everything had happened to suddenly - and she'd just [i]killed[/i] a person, hadn't she? It may have been the first time she'd watched someone die, let alone ended their life herself. [i]I... think I might be sick...[/i] she though, and hunched over slightly on her horse. Sunbeam backed away from the other horse and the corpse, sensing his rider's distress and eager to leave the area. He was an animal of wild nature, but when Bel was on his back he wouldn't run recklessly. [color=mediumslateblue]"The soldiers have called to evacuate to the castle. I will head there,"[/color] Bel said aloud, though only half-directed at the knight. Having a plan of action helped to calm her down a little and ease some of her nausea. Plans were good. [color=mediumslateblue]"Please stay safe,"[/color] she told the other man, figuring he was out to help direct any stragglers like herself. With a quick, sharp nod, Sunbeam snorted and took off in the direction of the castle. The young noble held tightly to her horse's reins, though she let him direct them both toward the castle. Belisendé was not a bad rider, or she liked to think at least, but she was not in the state of mind to lead at the moment. She let Sunbeam dodge or jump rubble and fallen market stalls as they passed them as they steadily made their way to safety. Bel kept her gaze focused ahead to watch for anymore enemies, and she dearly wished she wouldn't meet any. The recent altercation was enough. [i]Don't think about it... for now...[/i] she thought to herself, and instead she thought to the knight she'd met. As the horse and rider arrived at the castle, she suddenly realized - [i]I didn't even ask his name! Nor offer him mine![/i] How incredibly rude of her, she thought. After everyone was safe, she would seek him out and give him a proper thank you, and the least she could do was learn his name.[/cell] [cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/iTSz1XL.png[/img] [center]_________________________ Status: [color=lawngreen]Alive & Evacuating[/color] [/center][u]Class[/u]: Squire [u]EXP[/u]: 5 [u]Inventory[/u]:[list] [*]Iron Bow (3/3) [*]Vulnerary (3/3)[/list] [hider=Stats][u]END[/u]: E [u]STR[/u]: E [u]MAG[/u]: D [u]DEX[/u]: C [i]+2[/i] [u]SPD[/u]: D [u]DEF[/u]: E [u]RES[/u]: D [u]LCK[/u]: C[/hider] [hider=Supports]N/A[/hider][/cell][/table]
