So for this current part, Vail would be too stubborn to abandon Victoria to the Order. I could see it going one of two ways, but I wanted to get your opinion before I carry us forward. Either, he would go with his last resort and bring her back to the Hygrace manor since the Saints couldn't follow them onto the property without veritably starting a war (this would lead to all sorts of problems with Peter) or if she's in too poor of a condition to make it that far, he might make a desperate move of holing up in the Crest manor while all the Saints were out trying to chase him down and barricading them in her room. Of course, the latter wouldn't be a permanent solution, and the Saints would eventually break through and catch him, since he wouldn't leave her side. If that was the route we chose to take, I could imagine Ray being the voice of reason to convince Gerald not to kill him, since he's the Hygrace leader's firstborn and that would also start a war. If you have a preference or have any other ideas, let me know! ^^
