@Lord ZeeThe verdict rang and Kaite felt as though she could see the discontent in Tiberius as he shifted his weight to step forward and address the group. As badly as the knight wanted to join in, the words regarding monsters caught her in the motion of mustering a breath. It would have been a comment about a wolf in sheeps' clothing, and she was certainly one to talk. The creature looked like a girl and spoke of redemption like a saintly soul, but regardless of her reason or will behind her actions, she was seen as a monster...because she was caught.
With a flourish of his red cape, Kaite watched Tiberius take his leave and made to follow, mostly to find her own horse which had been set free in the same field. However, she paused for a moment as the 'it' with a name showed enough care as to express how they don't care if the paladin felt naught a shred of sympathy. To her understanding, it would be best for the 'it' named Vert to save her breath for those who cast white stones. The rest had already made up their minds for one reason or another.
So, in response, Kaite offered an acknowledging yet rudely dismissing sniff. Turning to descend from the meeting area, she threw her arms to the sides to hook clawed gauntlet thumbs on hip plates, chuckling a small
"H-well, then..."Kaite walked a ways behind Tiberius, unsure what to say to him if she had the opportunity, not to say she wasn't considering it. They were certain to be seeing quite a bit of each other and there was little sense delaying the inevitable. Clearing her throat with a cough, she began to say,
"Sir Tib-" before a few small voices called out her name.
She didn't stop walking, but turned her head to three of the kids from yesterday running up to her, one of them hoisting her saddle.
"Where'd ya find that?" Kaite asked, amused as another emerged from the lightly wooded border of the field with another dummy. It begged the question where the kids were getting them from, but she wasn't entirely interested in hearing excuses since she immediately expected them to be stolen or garbage.
"On the side of the road, Sir Kaite! Tani, here, said she saw you drop it" the first explained, still toting their banged up wooden sword from yesterday. The girl appeared shy, offering up the saddle with both hands and earning an earnest
"Well, thank ya. One less thing to look for" with a sighing chuckle as Kaite looked back out into the field where horses roamed, flipping up her visor with a thumb. The saddle swung at her side while one of the kids asked what she was still doing in town.
"I certainly hadn't ridden th'wind through the gates" Kaite replied, waving the saddle and earning a laugh before explaining,
"Just lookin' for my horse."The kids looked at each other before forming a huddle. Kaite continued to walk, though slowing her pace as she had nowhere to go without her beast of burden.
