Though she was conflicted right from the start. She truly did want Sir Mathias to win, but she also wanted Verrick to win as well. The childhood crush she had on the man was now back in full strength. She found herself blushing at seeing his muscular arms in the few moments he would reveal them from under his cloak. From the stories she heard of Woodsman during her research,She heard time and time again that they were true masters of the bow. As well as having a strange style not normally seen. She worked off what she could hear about, but to see him actually shoot would be amazing for her future books. She frowned a bit when she realized she forgot her idea notebook as well as left her typewriter at home. But on the other hand, Sir Mathias certainly made quite an impression on her as well. Seeing him with his son brought a small smile on her face, and warmth to her cheeks as well. It was rare to see a man so genuine with their child in public like that. Most nobles were very standoffish when it came to showing ‘love’ to their family. It was strange to see the two together. One as a knight and the other as a commoner. Short and tall, rugged and elegant. Smiling and a scowl. She found herself fascinated at the opposites. Something she would certainly have to add to her next book somehow….and bring it naturally so the readers didn’t wonder where the heck this new character came from. Sadly though as the contest began, she got quite distracted at an unexpected entry. A man claiming to be the son of her father. She could already feel eyes on her as people began to mutter under their breaths, wondering if it was true…and what that meant for the family. Before he even took his first shot. She looked to one of her extra guards and said, [color=1e4fff]”Please go back home and inform my father of this and bring him here. ” [/color] The guard bowed his head and quickly turned and jogged off towards her home. [color=2A7E2E]”Why are we waitin? I can go ov’r there and give ‘im a wee bonk on the head and drag ‘im out of ‘ere” [/color] Jacob asked a bit annoyed. Miming hitting his own head with his ax as he spoke. [color=1e4fff]”We don’t want to ruin the show for the people…You can still do it, just wait till it’s done.” [/color] Jacob cracked his knuckles with a wicked grin and twinkle in his eye. . His tone clearly improved as he said.[color=2A7E2E]”Pure Barry! Looks like me birthday came early this year!”[/color] Liah did speak up softly, [color=BA0505]”He does share some traits with Count Damien… But I couldn’t imagine your father ever being unfaithful to your mother. So clearly the man is an idiot.[/color] Crystal nodded, but she did not say much for the rest of the tournament. Sadly Sir Mathias was defeated in the first round. She frowned slightly and wondered if he would be ok clapping as he walked off the field…but with how he acted with his son afterwards it would seem her worry was misplaced. She was surprised at Verrick’s showing though, while very subtle in showing his pain. She could tell he was not shooting as well as he should have. She wondered what happened recently that he injured himself. But his skill did show when he did switch between dominant hands as well as firing with the arrows in between his fingers. A skill none of the other archers used. Or were as quick. Despite not being as she imagined she still enjoyed watching him and got excited each time he did win. On the other hand…She half paid attention to the man who claimed to be her brother. Partially annoyed and out of spite to not give him her attention for daring to claim to be her brother. Though he was good, a bit of a show off though which only added more of a bad taste to it all. She did not clap for him one time. THANKFULLY. Verrick won. Though it was close. She sighed with an audible breath. At which Jacob turned to her expectantly. Crystal nodded as she stood up. Wiping the wrinkles out of her cream dress as she did. Her other guard folding up the blanket she had brought as they prepared to leave. She looked to Liah and grabbed her two books from her. She then looked over to Sir Mathias wanting to go over and talk to him shifting her books higher on her chest as she hugged them to herself... But she shook her head...not right now. She frowned slightly. It going away quickly when she noticed Liah watching her with an amused raised eyebrow. Liah, seeing how Crystal reacted to Mathias this entire tournament easily caught on. Liah simply nodded her head towards the knight while keeping her eyes on Crystal. Conveying to her to go talk to him with out words. Crystal only turned red as she knew Liah saw right through her. Shaking her head quite suddenly and firmly which caused her hat to slide a bit. [color=1e4fff]"W-w-what? No. I can't simply walk up to him...b-b-besides I have to deal with this b--baffoon."[/color] She said quite quickly as she adjusted her hat. Making sure to look in the complete opposite direction of Liah...and Mathias...which was at the tree behind her. Liah rolled her eyes and shook her head with a smirk before looking back towards Jacob as he made his way over to the imposster. Jacob chuckled under his breath and with a little hop in his step he swung his ax over his shoulder and made his way over to the man who dared claim to be the count's son. [color=2A7E2E]”Oi! YE WEE BAWBAG!”[/color] He hollered as he walked directly towards him. Pointing his big meaty finger at the smaller man despite his 6’4” height. Jacob still stood a foot or so higher. When Cassius would look at him he nodded. [color=2A7E2E]” AYE you! Yer Coming with Me!”[/color] He said with a scowl.
