"Boy, do you know this girl?" Came the gruff voice of the 'demihuman'. With a gulp, Ryan managed to choke back his intimidation. Maria being right there certainly didn't hurt, while she was certainly smaller than Grian she was the commander of a group of knights, so he was willing to bet the way she carried herself wasn't just for show.

[color=0072bc]"Nope, never seen her before in my life."[/color] Ryan said honestly. [color=0072bc]"But I'd definitely like to ask you to let her go so I can speak to her if you don't mind, from what she's saying we seem to be in pretty much the same situation."[/color] Ryan spoke as politely as possible, the situation still seemed delicate and if the demihuman hadn't spoken to him directly he would have kept his mouth shut and let Maria do all of the talking. 

He was certainly more inclined to believe Chieko than he was Grian given the fact that she likely hadn't even been in Lugnica any longer than he had, and she definitely seemed to have gotten the short end of the stick when it came to the first person she had met. It wouldn't have made much sense for someone in her situation to have been provoking an armed individual that was much larger than she was. From what Chieko had said though, it was good that Maria had walked up when she did.
