Apologies for the infrequent posts, im currently returning home and should be able to post with more frequency.Also I believe I called the trio of young sailors "dumb kids" this is not meant to be personally mean, but merely the angry musings of a crotchety old elf. :P


Of course. :P They really are a bunch of dumb kids thought, except maybe Rarden. You have every right to call them dumb. Haha!
Walden smiled at Gareth, turning to look at him, "He's you're Commander to, Gareth. We both take orders from him." Walden replied, before looking back to Sophia, "Thomas wants her to be taken to Bernard's Holdfast, a small keep within the Palace, that's located slightly underground." Walden replied, as he turned to look between Jezin and Gareth, "You're right, it's not safe to be moving around, but something bigger than the Palace Guards and the Order of the Thistle is taking place right now. I'd rather take 1 minute of danger out in the open, than certain danger and conflict by staying in the same place." Walden replied, as he walked back to the door, and took a step out, looking around, "It should be just us in Bernard's Holdfast." He ended, with a friendly smile, looking back to his companions.
Walden stood at the door, and almost smile when he witnessed the drawn bow, "Are you going to strike me down, Mister Harker?" Walden asked, with a small chuckle. He looked past Gareth, and into the room to see Eva, Jezin and Sophia, "Impressive work, Gareth. I'm glad you could get everyone together." He added, as he stepped into the room, looking behind him to make sure no one had been following him, "Are any of you hurt? Is everyone okay?" Walden asked, his voice now worried, as he inspected the group, Sophia especially, "Princess Sophia," Walden said, bowing his head slightly, "You need to come with me. Commander Thomas and I have found a place that will be of much better protection than here. Things are starting to escalate outside." He explained, as he looked from Sophia, to the rest of the group.
Louis smiled as a waitress hurriedly came to them, ready to take their orders, "The three of us will have yer finest salted chicken!" Louis replied, as he cocked his head to smile at his two compatriots, before turning back to the waiter, "And yer strongest drinks you have!" He added, with a boisterous smile. Louis reached up to his head, and pulled off his hair, attempting to be somewhat civilized, "And where can we find a place to sit, fine missy?" He asked, trying now to be as polite as possible with his tone, and mannerisms. He almost forgot he was in public space, what with trying to keep up his persona.
I was gonna to order, but I was gonna let the other members catch up first. I didn't think it was fair to be in constant movement when they haven't been on, but it's obvious they're just waiting to post.
Thomas glanced down at the desk, looking at the seemingly burning desk, with an air of indifference, before looking up to meet Wallace's glare, with a glare of his own, "You're coming to the Tower. You're going to help us end all of this. Then, the King will decide what to do with your head, if I don't decide first." Thomas spoke, his words cutting, but his voice level. Thomas placed one hand on the side of the desk, and lifted with surprising strength, flipping the entire desk over on it's top, out of the way between Wallace and Thomas, "I'm down with games. I'm down hunting down the answer. I'm going straight to the source." Thomas started walking up to Wallace, until he would be mere inches from his face, Harmony still tight in his hand.
"I'm not 'Pyp', good sir. I'm Sir Pyper." Pyper said, with a degree of venom on his voice, as he drew his own sword. Pyper dove forward, with considerable speed, attempting to bull rush the guard over the crest of the wall, while first committing a swing, from left to right. Pyper was thankful for his speed that day, and knew if the guard were to jump to either the right or left, he'd be fast enough to change his bullrush. He had been taught from his first day in the Order to not trust the guard, especially these past couple of days. They might as well of been in Wallace's own pocket, according to the rest of the Order members.
A gentle knock rang out across Gareth's quarters, coming from the other side of the door. A gentle knock that had knocked on that door before. After a moment, another gentle knock rang out, this time accompanied by a familiar and friendly voice, "Gareth, if you're in there, I need your help." The gentle voice of Sir Walden called out, "It's getting dangerous out here, and I'm not the warrior I used to be. We need to go make sure Princess Sophia is alright." He added, as he accompanied the call out with another couple gentle knocks.
Thomas looked around the room as he listened to Wallace talk, checking for anything off, before turning his one eye to Wallace, and taking a step towards the man. Thomas' face was mostly blank as he looked at Wallace, filled with no type of emotion. Thomas looked over his shoulder, back to the Order knights who had taken up shop outside the door. They had formed a fairly good defensive perimeter, their attention solely on the protection of Thomas, and Wallace, while their Commander arrested the Regent. Thomas slowly turned back to Wallace, "No." Thomas said simply, as he clenched his fist, and sent it to the right cheekbone of Wallace. It wasn't nearly powerful enough to knock Wallace out, but it was likely enough to knock the man to the ground, "You're coming with me, Wallace, and you're going to answer every question you've been hiding from everyone." He added.
"I'm well aware how to approach a post, sirrah!" Pyper shouted back, his voice strong and authoritative. Even in the sparse light, his sparse armor was easily seen, and so was his white cloak, "I'm Sir Pyper of the Order of the Thistle. I have been commanded by Sir Thomas to get Feril Tatchet out of the Palace grounds." He said, as he started the climb up the stairs to the top of the wall, "Things are getting out of hand in the Palace, and Sir Thomas has deemed Feril's safety to be of paramount importance." He added, flipping his cloak over his shoulder, and placing a hand on his sword, "Any man getting in the way of completing my Commander's orders, is also getting in the way of my King Bard II's safety, and I can't stand for that."
Thomas looked back to his entourage of knights, and nodded his head. Thomas marched forward, pass the guards. Thomas admired their respect for due process, and the law, but the Order of the Thistle had never pulled it's own weight, and prevented the assassinations of many kings, multiple times, by playing by the rules. The column of knights marched on, right behind their Commander. Thomas was lucky enough to know where Wallace would be located; the only room in the Palace that was officially his. A small study, if Thomas recalled correctly. Sure enough, Thomas eventually came to a door, with Wallace Canti's own name on the door. Thomas raised a hand, and the column stopped it's movement. As the rest of the knights took up positions to guard the approaches to the door, Thomas gingerly approached the door, and twisted the handle. Unlocked, luckily. Thomas swung the door opened, Harmony at the ready, and took a step in the room.
"Shh, don't ask questions." Pyper replied, as they made their way to a side exit, located near the Tower of the Thistle. Pyper opened the door, leading to the grounds of the Palace. The sky was starting to turn black, with a red tint on the horizon. It was only sunset out. Pyper squinted his eyes, attempting to make out the top of the walls. Sure enough, he could make out a few guards up on the wall. Pyper had no idea how he was pull this off, but he was going to get Feril over the wall. Pyper turned back to Feril, "Whatever you do, leave the talking to me. I'm going to get you over the wall so you can get out of this place." Pyper ordered her, before reaching for a pouch on his belt, retrieving a small purse that jingled as he moved it. He took Feril's hand, and placed the coin purse in it, "This is more than enough money to pay food, water, lodgings, and maybe even a horse." He said, as he swiftly turned his back to her, and started his way to the wall's nearest stairs.
Thomas sneered at the guards word, "On the grounds of protecting the realm and safety of the King, corporal." Thomas replied, as his grip on Harmony tightened, "The lives of 12 Palace Guards mean nothing to me, when in comparison to the safety of the King. Wallace is coming with us, with the blood of Palace guards on our hands, or not." Thomas lifted Harmony up, level with his own shoulder, the light blade free-floating in the air in front of Thomas, "You have three seconds to stand your men aside, corporal, or I will cut through them myself." Thomas delivered his ultimatum. Wallace knew what was happening, he had to, and these men were no doubt loyal to Wallace. Thomas had to act quickly, before Wallace either escaped, or set in motion a contingency plan.
Pyper frowned as he witnessed how exhausted the courier seemed to be. She definitely wasn't from Mullen, nor was she any kind of royalty, yet she happened to be caught up in all of this, "Miss Feril, I'm escorting you out of the Palace, tonight. Some events have transpired, and Commander Thomas has determined you're safety comes first." Pyper lied, as he walked in front of Feril, opening the door into the bigger hallways, "If you follow me, we'll find you a safe exit out of the Palace grounds." Pyper said, as he looked down both halls, before exiting in the direction of the Tower of the Thistle.
Thomas halted, and in unison, the Order knights behind him halted, "Stand down, corporal. We are here for the Regent, Wallace Canti. This does not concern you, or your men." Thomas commanded, Harmony hanging loosely in his hands as he talked, it's pale milk-like blade glinting in the lighting of the hallway. The rest of the Order knights were not yet armed, put their hands traced over their respective weapons, ready for anything to happen. The relations between the Palace Guard and the Order of the Thistle had never been good, each often have different agendas. The Palace Guard was focused on keeping order and protecting the Palace walls, whereas the Order's sole priority was to protect the King.
Pyper quickly made his well to the cells, unlocking the first door, before making his way down to Feril's cell door. He pulled his key out, unlocking the cell door, and stepped into the cold cell, "Feril. I'm Sir Pyper. You need to come with me, please." Pyper said, looking around the room, making sure Feril was the only one. It would be highly unlikely for someone else to be in the cells, but Pyper knew better than to trust the darkness of the cells, and the cells hallway, "You're going to be let free." He added, hoping this would spurn her to move faster, and cooperate.
