Death In The Air

@DriveEMOut

Charles kept an eye on the small Slav boy as he left the store and wondered how far the kid was going to make it. Not far apparently as the kid slumped down in a corner and began to sob. Charles debated if he should waste his time talking to him, when that idea was dashed as another young boy with a gun appeared, and seemed to be somewhat territorial. Charles then watched the Slav boy climb up the ladder, perhaps this would not be the last he saw of him. He then turned to face the other boy who repeated his question "Apologies. I am Charles Banesworth, the second of his name, and I too seek a place to rest my head if you would permit me my good man. Speaking of which, what would your name be?"

Charles sighed at the disappointing news "That is... most unfortunate. But I thank you for your help regardless lad, you've been more help than these three combined".

He then turned to the girl a little confused "Work? You misunderstand girl, nobles dont work, people work FOR them. Im sure the idea is too wild for you but you see it is in the nobles natural rights for others to be subservient to them" he said to her with a slight chuckle at the girls apparent ignorance

He then gave a bow to the group to signal his departure. "Well I suppose I'll be leaving then. Farewell and pray that I dont ever find you again" he said to the family as a goodbye while Martel gave a squawk for his as they both left the store.

"Teach me? Perhaps you should be a better father and teacher your daughter how to respect her betters instead" Charles retorted as he sneered at all three of them, the girl especially. "You there, boy!" he said pointing at the youngest member of the showdown "Do you know where the local market is?"

Charles responded to her snarl with one of his own "Dont call me a prick you bitch! Everything in this shithole is already mine, I merely require the means to obtain it! And that goes for everything else in this godforsaken hellhole, it is mine by right and by God I will one day take all of it." Charles then looked at the young boy, not sure what to make of him, perhaps he could be of some assistance to him after they got out of this predicament

"Christ" Charles muttered to himself as two adults, supposedly the girls parents, entered the room, also with guns cocked and aimed at him. When he first entered the store and saw the pretty young girl he thought that they would have a pleasant exchange, and that he would not go empty handed with either food or knowledge where to find some to leave with. Alas it was unfortunate that it was not to be, Charles thought regretfully as he stared down the barrels of three guns. Swallowing his pride, Charles lowered the gun from the girls face. "Very well then you insubordinate bastards, have it your way. But mark my words, I WILL have your heads on a pike one day. That I can promise you" he said as he looked at the girl for a final time and backed his way out of the store. Martel cawed, in either relief or another mockery of Charles's wounded pride, he ignored the bird.

But as he began to leave the store another challenger entered the ring, a young boy of around ten with a gun that was also far to big for him had entered the store. Charles began to back into another corner of the store in an attempt to have enough room to point at all four. "You might want to leave child. These sods dont take kindly to others."

Well I guess we'll both have to see what ends up happening.

Also damn, I forgot about the parents. It seems Charles is going to have to sallow his pride today.
