"Piss off." He shot her a look, but didn't otherwise do anything.

"If you two are gonna be bickering the whole time, I'm gonna leave you both here and go lead this search party myself."

Stephan rolled his eyes.

Paint rolled her eyes as well, at the same time Stephan did. Paint put her nose to the ground sniffing.

"I got their scent, kid, don't worry about it." Jeremy continued on to the armory without a second glance back at her. "Now we've gotta get going."

When they were done at the armory, they headed to the stables.

Starting over post!

She called for them around sunrise, which of course meant they were delayed about an hour because Jeremy was still asleep.

"Nice of you to finally make it." The queen stood when they finally walked into her hall.

"Your highness," Jeremy gave a curt bow.

"Sorry we're late, this one can't get up before sunhigh." Stephan said shortly.

She took her seat again. "I'm sure you heard that a group of rogues broke into the castle last night?"

"I heard, don't know about him." Stephan replied with a nod towards Jeremy.

"Well, they took something very important from me. I need you and the team I'm sending with you to get it back and make them think twice about ever crossing me again."

"What'd they take that was so important you woke us two up at the asscrack of dawn to go get?"

She shot him a glare. "My sword."

"Your..."

"My sword, Tiernach."

"Oh, that one." Jeremy nodded. "Why?"

"Who knows why," she snapped, "just go get it back before I ride out there and destroy them all myself."

Jeremy glanced over at Stephan before replying. "Ok, your highness, we can do that."

Lynx came out of hideing from behind the queens thrown

"My queen may I pleeeeeeassse go with them?"
She inquires before looking over at the guys, sizing them up mentally

"Since her magisty won't be needing me, I really like to take along, I promise not to get in the way of their mission, heck maybe I could be of some use!"
