And posting, sorry much for the delay.
Okay, good to hear from you Ilu!
*Just checks to make sure* The italicized comments are the spirit in her yes?
Sorry about that, had the post ready yesterday, but I didn't have net to post it up with, also heya! I'm done with Toukiden for a bit, so I'll be online a lot more often. *Starts catching up on OOC*
Hayate first noticed that Rhia had been swept away from them, barely hearing the name she mentioned. He gave chase for the moment, but the crowd was too hard to shift through with the extra weight he was carrying, and Rhia herself was rather harder to spot from a distance them Marduk. As he lost sight of her, he gave a small sigh of disappointment, in himself, but assured himself that she'd be fine. He turned back to notice that the others were started to get seperated from him as well. Luckily, Marduk's colors and stature were easier to make out in the crowd than Rhia, though he did lose them for a moment as the crowd forced him around a corner. If he wasn't careful he would have accusations to deal with, and would likely lose the group entirely.
So he shuffled through the crowd trying his best not to agitate any of the actual inhabitants of the city. He had left a fairly good amount of belongings at the house he was staying in, but heading back there would be ill-advised at the moment. He forced himself around a corner and decided to take his pack off and hold it in front of himself so it wouldn't smash into others in the crowd, couldn't be the victim of a pickpocket, and would have enough mobility to actually catch up with the others. He continued forward, hoping that he would spot them upon rounding the next corner, and upon doing so, He caught sight of Marduk again.
He pushed through the crowd until he once again reached the dragon, taking note then that the brown creature was waiting for him. He smiled and placed a hand at his side before saying, "Thanks for waiting up for me..." He knew his armor had slowed him down much too much, and looked ahead to be sure he wasn't holding Marduk up too much either. He had a bit of an idea, but it seemed a bit rude to ask of the dragon. Still, it would solve his dexterity problem. "I heard your name, but I didn't catch it...so then dragon, would you mind carrying the armor so I don't get lost in the confusion again?" Another reason for this was, like it or not, Hayate would have to come to Marduk's aid if he got in danger, to secure his armor.
He of course, would not unless Marduk agreed, though if Marduk started forward without agreeing he would slung his pack on again and think a bit about where Marduk would not mind being grabbed. Holding hands was a very easy way to stay together in a crowd...but Marduk did not have hands, and if Hayate tried then his own hand would probably be trampled. He began to think the whole situation a bit choatic, (if he hadn't thought so already) and he asked, "Where'd the other go?" Though he thought he could see Mordecai's staff in the distance, "You didn't lose him waiting for me, right?"

*Is back, was caught up in Toukiden* Sorry about that guys ^^; been caught up in chores and testing out my new Vita recently. I still owe Rhia a post in that one thing. Anyways, happy to be back! Also, would say we're happy to accept new people, but not totally sure about that.
Hayate listened to Rhia, and had been kept privy from the actualities of the attack. Though now that she mentioned it. He had not been met so much with aggression either, despite being Christian...and dressed like a knight. Though he did of course, seem to have no weapon on him. Still, the crusade may in fact have less grounds than everyone was led to believe. That was surely a shock for Hayate if true. Though for now he listened to Rhia's plan. He wasn't entirely sure of the safety of that plan. But it was probably better than anything he himself could come up with, so he agreed, "I think that sounds like the best chance he, and we have to pass through this unscathed...although...I think I had best take my armor off, or I'll become a target of those defending the city."
He took a bit of time to do so, likely the time it took the rioters to gather, after which he was subjected to being tossed about and having the armor pieces in his pack dig against his back and leg uncomfortably. He noticed the old man had disappeared in the haze of confusion surrounding the place, though he reappeared shouting at them to leave before the streets got crowded. Hayate hadn't been paying as much attention to how the streets got crowded as Marduk or Rhia probably did, but he was ready to stick with the course of action before stating, "...I assume my tunic will aid in others thinking the dragon is under control." He spoke of the fact his cross was displayed prominently, thus quite likely showing that the dragon was no danger to the crusaders...or in a more unlucky scenario, cause them to rush to aid Hayate in killing it, "...speaking of, we can't just keep calling it...him...'the dragon', do you have a name?"
While waiting for this, Hayate was working out what he would do in several scenarios, were they to come. One was if Marduk did receive attacks, would he defend the dragon? The dragon had been kind enough to him, and he would not necessarily be taking out the crusaders that attacked...but he would need his armor for that, and with no way to distinguish sides. Besides, helping a Muslim dragon would be a fair bit of heresy would it not?...Hayate worked out that if it came to that, perhaps he should hide his face and risk it. Marduk was not going to die if he could help it...but come to think of it, "Dragon, do you have anything you would like to secure? Any belongings?" He wasn't sure if that was even possible, but Mordecai's arrival had made him aware of the possibility.

Sorry for the holdup! Yesterday and the day before I was busy with chores.
I was sick for about half a day, literally about half a day. I passed out, woke up the next morning and was fine.
Hayate nodded to Rhian, "It is indeed normal for us to protect ourselves in harsh times. Though to be honest, the dragon had not made any movements to show he was going to be harmful...just felt like testing if he was dangerous or not. It seems he is rather not, and look at that," He got up from his kneeled position and smiled at Marduk's response, "He is very polite as well. See?" He smiled up at the dragon and then telling Rhian again, "...I have no weapons, though I suppose they would at least take me into custody. Still if all was explained I'm sure they could not hold me for too long." This was fairly untrue, what he had done was very reckless, and would probably have gotten him locked up perhaps, but being locked up could spell danger for him. He hadn't really fully thought out his actions when he did them and was just going with the flow for now.
He looked with Mordecai to the area the attack was to come from and stated, "Would that we could resolve this issue without bloodshed. As us three are, but I suppose that if the followers of Muhammad will not sway, then the army will come." He was not affiliated directly with the army, but he still had to hold to his beliefs as he hoped the drake understood. He watched the attack begin, and then Marduk's concern for them build. As he watched the walls begin to be overwhelmed, he turned to the dragon. The attack coming when they had been so talking about it was slightly unexpected.
Marduk's comments to them sounded very safe, but he couldn't help but worry about the beast's own safety. He looked to Rhian and Mordecai to see if they shared his sentiments and asked, "...hmm, what of you dragon? You do not share our beliefs. But I am sure you would be welcome at the Sepulcher as well if you seek safety." The more he considered it, the more he realized (as Marduk had) that knights taught as he was would most likely want to kill any dragons they could, Sepulcher or no. "...you will not be safe in the city though, will you?" He asked, offering for him to voice that concern if he shared it.
