[IC] Fall of Vedrus

[jaybreezy]

Alexander looked to the ex-Ironbane, a look of confusion on his face. "Excuse me, miss, but what did you need?" Alexander asked, pushing past the fact she was an ex-Ironbane. He looked at her, remembering seeing her on the battle field. He knew she had to have wanted something of importance.

[SaikaAnge]

"Sir, I know some important Ironbane plans. I do not hold any allegiance to them any longer. But if I am allowed to keep my armor I can serve as your spy." she answered softly but with a bit of giddy feeling in her voice. He was so handsome and his voice entriged her more.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander raised an eyebrow. "Spy, huh?" Alexander asked in minor disbelief. He gave it some thought and nodded slowly. "Sure. But I'll be keeping an eye on you until I can trust you." Alexander added, looking away from the girl.

[SaikaAnge]

She smiled at him and nodded. "Of course. Im okay with that. Just, the other guy. I don't exactly like swords to my throat." she looked back at the two elves now riding side by side behind them. "So, are they a thing?" Roz asked Alexander curiously.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander chuckled a bit from her curiosity of their relationship. "Yes. They are. Why?" Alexander asked with his own curiosity. He smirked a bit, surprised she didn't kill him yet. She truly wasn't affiliated with the Ironbanes anymore.

[SaikaAnge]

She smiled and looked at Alexander. "That clears that up," she was very happy the girl wasn't with him. She had a chance after all. "Just wondering." she blushed and looked ahead.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo glared at the swish of blonde hair in front of him. One hand held the reins of his charger while the other rested on Ritterstihl's hilt. He rode around her and stopped in front of them. "Why are you so quick to trust her Ole Bear?" Leo asked, not taking his eyes from the girl or his hand from his sword. "I dont need some Ironbane kitchen wench toppling Ritland before we even leave South Vedrus."

[SaikaAnge]

Rosline raised an eyebrow at the guy as she stopped her horse. "Kitchen wench you say?"she nodded her head for a moment then drew her sword and held it just under his chin. "I was a commander of my own battalion. A battalion you sir, slaughtered. I have no allegiance to those damned Ironbanes. I only show it towards this man. And if you call my a wench again I will cut off your head and serve it to your lover. Have I made myself clear?" Rosline's voice was cold and stern. She meant every word she said and slowly took her sword away from the man's chin. She wasn't planning on spilling any blood today unless Alexander asked her to.

Crim seeing the woman put a sword to Leo made her furious as she spurred her horse over and aimed her bow, drawn, at the woman. "And if you raise a sword to him again I will shoot an arrow through your eye socket." Crim growled. No one threatens Leo like that. Especially another woman.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander chuckled a bit. He felt like she wasn't telling the whole truth, but didn't want to push anything. He then looked at Alexander. "Ah I'm just making conversation. Can't be too negative." Alexander clarified, not trusting the girl too much. He then grabbed the girl after she put the sword to Leo's throat. "Whoa whoa! Calm down!" Alexander said, ready to draw his sword if necessary.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo felt the wolf take over his eyes as he drew his sword. "I am Leollys Blackwolf. The Ritter King. Lord Paramount of the Golden City and Warden of the Great Wood. You threaten me again, and i'll have your head on a spike." He turned to Alexander, his eyes going back to normal, "I trust you with my life mate. As long as you keep a close eye on her, i dont suppose we'll have a problem. Come on, we've wasted enough time as it is." he turned his charger and spurred it forward at full gallop.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander nodded and looked at the girl. "Look, you're under my command now. Stand down or I'll send you off. I'll kill you if I have to." Alexander said sternly. He then began to go with his horse. "Got it?" Alexander asked, waiting for her response.

[SaikaAnge]

Crim lowered her bow and put the arrow back into her quiver. "Leo," she spoke softly to him. She looked to him as he rode. She turned her horse and rode next to Alexander again, keeping a weary eye on the girl.

She lifted her chin and kept by Alexander's other side. "I am loyal. That I will tell you. Believe me or not, that is your choice. But I won't be the one putting and arrow through your eye socket." she added as she rode. "I understand sir, and I will follow your orders." she lowered her head and rode with him. "Royals are always so annoying." Roz muttered under her breath.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander smiled and looked at Roz as they rode, somewhat interested and curious in her. She didn't seem like your average soldier. "So...what made you join those damn Ironbanes?" Alexander asked.

[SaikaAnge]

"I was drafted into the war. As were my brothers. Our whole family except for my father was taken from home. Didn't exactly have a choice of which side. Only knew that if I didn't fight, everyone I knew would die." Rosline spoke softly and calmly as she stayed at his side. She looked over at him and watched the expression on his face. "If I knew they were so savage before, I would've resigned sooner. I'm sorry for what my men did to you and your friends. I wish they hadn't' she shook her head and shuddered at the thought.

[SaikaAnge]

Crim rode over to Leo and rode beside him. "Are you alright?" she asked cautiously. She was worried about him. She hadn't seen him that close to wolf mode since the village he saved her from. It kinda scared her. Crim was used to the happy, smiling Leo.

[RangerOfTheRit]

"Yeah, I just dont like Alexander being so quick to trust. Especially on a mission thats so vital, not just to me but the entire Goldenblade cause." he sighed as he noticed he was white knuckling his reins.

[SaikaAnge]

Crim placed her hand on his shoulder. "He doesn't fully trust her, that you can tell. But if none of us talk to her then we may never trust her. We both trust Alexander, and know he's smart. He has a plan. Besides look at her," her voice was sincere and gentle. "She follows him like a puppy. She isn't here for the mission, and I doubt she is here to kill him. The look in her eyes says different. She's like a child almost." Crim laughed after calling the girl a child. She had to be older than her.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander nodded as he listened to Roz. "So you were forced to fight...those dam Ironbanes deserve what's coming." Alexander said with a confident smirk. He looked at Leo, noticing something was off. "Is something wrong, my friend?" Alexander asked, worried about Leo's concerned look.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo looked at Alexander, "Aye i'm alright Ole Bear. There's just something off about her." He jerked his head towards Roz. "I dont want to wake up with a blade between my ribs eh?"

[jaybreezy]

Alexander chuckled. "I'll do my best to keep my eyes on her. I won't let her out of my sight." He reassured, looking at Roz with a cocky smirk. He then looked at Leo, a friendly smile on his face.
