Well this was a rather bad situation. It had just gone from one terrible thing to another. Daedhel would have been able to take on the first group of gangers, she had easily killed their two leaders, but as more continued to appear her future had looked grim. Then there had been the arrival of a group of Shield Maidens of Melitas, and another. While this at least prevented her impeding death, and all kinds of other nasty things, at the hands of the men she had quite brazenly attacked (why had she not thought properly before acting!) it would lead to imprisonment at the very least. If she didn't get out of the situation as soon as possible.

"This is why I don't help people," Dae murmured quietly to herself as she slowly began to move as the one who seemed to be the leader of the shield maidens, the Grand Master, and the disfigured man talked. Maybe the conversation would give her some time to begin making her escape... This was not how she had envisioned things turning out. She had lost two good throwing knives over this! She certainly wasn't been paid enough... She was even being paid. This was why she tried to avoid making any decisions influenced by emotion. This decision had been one if those, and what a bad one it had been. There were far too many witnesses for her to be able to talk her way out of it. Assassination had subtly to it - there was no way to tie the murders to her. This had not been subtle.

Glancing around, Daedhel narrowed her eyes as she realised there was no easy way out of this. If she tried to climb a building at this moment she'd undoubtedly be shot down. She couldn't take any Shield Maiden down in a fight, not when they had that armour on. The best option was probably to get past the gangers and make a break for it. Yes, that might work...

“Sister Maria! By authority of his excellence, the Crown Regent and Sovereign over Valania, I command you to seize this murderous leacher for crimes against the crown. Get her out of my sights and throw her to the pits. Lady Saelova, Isolde, and Christiana! Take these girls to the citadel for questioning before we find more caskets ...”

The words quickly caught Dae's attention, while most of the others had gone over her head (she had stiffened at the few mentions of the Le Crosse name). As suspected, they were going to arrest her. Or just about. Of all the murders she had ever committed she was to be imprisoned for this one... She had really hoped it would be for the assassination of the Sarifens that slaughtered her family at the very least. And crimes against the crown? This was anything but! If only they knew what she had been doing in her time in Voltas. Actually, that would not be too good. Definitely enough for her to be executed. She quite liked living.

Continuing to walk slowly backwards, Dae placed her dagger back in her belt in one swift motion. Tilting her head, and turning to face the Shield Maiden, the slightest of smiles crossed her lips. "I do thank you for your presence, Grand Master. I would be careful, while that armour and those ladies protect you now many rarely strike when expected." Her smile only widened in an almost threatening manner, gaze moving to be level with the one she was sure was Sister Maria. "I also thank you all for the audience, but I'm afraid I've outstayed my welcome. Au revoir." She gave a slight wave before running and practically diving into the ranks of gangers. Her hope was that they would be unable shoot her down among so many other people giving her a chance to make a break for it.

As Dae ran she fought away anyone who came too near or tried to stop her, using only her fists and a few well thought out kicks. While she might as well kill a few more people, it would hardly change the consequences for her, she decided for now it was best to not leave a trail of death on her way out. If she could get out quickly she had quite a good chance of evading whoever came for her. She had the advantage of speed and agility. Not to mention she knew many places to hide. It was often necessary in her line of work.

She just had to get through and off of this street. Easy enough. And then she would get away. Of course she would most likely have to hide her face for a short while but a few personally chosen assassination might end that. There was nothing to worry about. It wasn't like the gangers she was trying to run through were likely to try and kill her. And she doubted the Shield Maidens would not be that easy to shake off.

Still, she had been in far worse situations.

Actually I'll probably get Dae up tomorrow - after reading your reply four times I decided I really wanted to start a reply xD She's actually in quite a sticky situation... While I'm really rather glad that Maria and the shield maidens arrived as otherwise she didn't stand a chance she know has to escape being arrested. Of course she has to subtly threaten, or not so subtly, someone before trying to get out. Reply may be a bit short and not the best but it'll do when it comes

I certainly wouldn't want to be any of their enemies. Although theyre probably dead so I doubt they have much time for thinking about it

Can't reply much at the moment - but glad that the post is up! Whoo hoo! I'll make my reply on Sunday probably or maybe tomorrow but I don't have much time to do it on my phone

Awesome! Looking forward to the next post :) and the dinner gathering... Ooo that'll be fun. So many thoughts in my mind about this

Oh gosh another person... This is the biggest group I've ever been part of O.o I'll certainly welcome him when he arrives!

Mirroring Worlds, Reflecting Possibilities

Yeah... Two more storms today. There are so many

I'll try and start making a reply! May not come till I get home on Sunday though - sorry

STAR WARS: The Legendary Bantha Fodders! [High Casual]

Don't worry about it! Hope everything is sorted soon and stuff
I'm in Turkey anyway so I'm pretty busy anyway

Believe me, I won't, Ivory. It is what I'm expecting to happen (an attempt at least) and so is my character. But she'll try to sweet talk her way out if trouble first.

At least all the character's paths will cross at the dinner they have been invited to - while two of my characters are with others I see no way for Corisande to come near anyone else - not with her job and stuff

Slowpoke, that's clever, I saw what you did there

I'll start thinking about another Daedhel post at the moment, but will wait before posting anything

Mirroring Worlds, Reflecting Possibilities

I am! I'm at a resort so its not too bad

Now I would disagree with Daedhel being in trouble, Ivory :P she chose to throw herself into it and I'm yet to know whether she is fighting well or is about to be violently murdered due to being an idiot. But meeting up will be awesome - If Dae is slightly not nice to your character when they first talk don't take it personally xD

Good food is always nice... Mmm food. Food here in my resort is a bit dissapointing at the moment.

Mirroring Worlds, Reflecting Possibilities

No it wouldn't be too bad :) hopefully! Still alive though I swear the Turkish weather is trying to kill me - there's been at least two thunder storms a day xD was meant to kayak on the sea today but couldn't because of the lightning
