It made him sigh, couldn't they see that it was folly to blindly follow someone with nary an idea of their true intentions? Benedict was shaken from his thoughts as a bright volly of arrows whizzed by striking the demonic agents, he wobbled slightly as the bus jostled on the old dusty road. Still sore from the force of whatever magic the man who called himself Geralt had employed, Benedict winced as he righted himself by the butt of his sword cane's sheath. He was convinced the man could have simply killed him yet the so-called White Wolf did not deign to draw his steel, of which the odd fellow sheathed upon his back instead of strapped to his side. But such thoughts were best saved for after a skirmish, thus he adjusted the rims of his spectacles, and for but a moment they glinted red as he took a readied stance with one hand holding his blade aloft while the other held the shield. "[color=B19666]No harm should come to the vehicles,[/color]" his throat hoarse from needing to shout over the din of the truck convoy, having to fight the wind that whipped against him as the chase ensued "[color=B19666]We can suffer no collateral damages.[/color]" the convoy while still harboring the suspects was still a utility of Midgar and damaging the vehicles would be as much a bane as a boon at the moment. While he may certainly be a member of Midgar's public security division he was still a man of reason, Benedict could tell just at a glance these people were formidable thus he took a deep breath and spoke "[color=B19666]I know not who you people are,[/color]" taking a shaky step forward shouting to the people gathered at the rear of the convoy "[color=B19666]Or why you associate yourselves with these seditionists, but I cannot allow you to pass through Midar without knowing your intentions.[/color]" maybe if they could see reason, all sides could win or if not they would turn over the woman he was after "[color=B19666]Midgar already suffers from outside threats daily, the woman you choose to be party to should know this all too well.[/color]" Right or wrong, for better or worse he was simply trying to get the point across that maybe the Seekers were associating with the wrong people. This woman may have decided to follow another's example but she hadn't followed the proper channels to just disappear without a fuss, but that was above his knowledge and he only knew that she was the cause of trouble in Midgar. For better or worse, he was going to take control of this situation... Yet if they would not see reason, Benedict would make them understand. By force if necessary.
