shylarah@ghastlyInc o.o how'd Gillian know what Ian was planning? He didn't say it out loud.

Ian only relaxed when things seemed to calm down and it became apparent that, for the moment at least, there wasn't going to be a second attempt. He didn't believe this was the end, however, if whoever sent this Nem went through the trouble of mutilating her throat to prevent her from speaking they likely didn't have have much confidence in her success, in fact it showed that, succeeding or not, they thought there was a good chance of her getting captured which meant that there was likely another agent here that would report the result of her attempt and possibly act as a backup assassin should she fail...
...of course there was also the possibility that the little Nem is lying and this is all a ruse to get the knights away from the princess.
either way, he kept the thought to himself for the moment, turning to the others and saying "Captain Fanilly, Sir Gillan, I can see to the princess' safety. I'm sure that the party hunting these conspirators could use all the manpower they can get and the princess would feel a bit more comfortable without too many guards hovering around her" both weren't entirely untrue but Ian had a plan with this. If either of his thoughts were correct, even if he was with only one other knight, the low amount of guards might make the other assassin overconfident and they could make a mistake or, if they weren't and there is a group of conspirators, more knights would have a better chance of dealing with what they might find. Right now Ian could just hope that the fact that he was one of the only two in armor and that his Hundi senses were far better than a human's would get them to agree with him.

"hmm, oh yes, I had seen the dwarven city. It was-" Ian leapt up when someone had shouted assassin and a call to arms from the captain, whirling around to see that most of the other knights where swarming after what must have been the assassin. Throwing back an apology to the girls he'd been talking to he took off toward the princess and the Captain, barely noticing the barrier put up by Christina and stopping himself just short of ramming into it.
He nodded at them and, since most of the knights were already chasing after the assassin, kept close just outside the barrier with the intent of helping guard the princess. His eyes still looked after the group chasing the assassin and his ears stood on alert, pointing in different direction to try and pick out the sound of the assassin or another crossbow preparing to fire. His stance had him ready to leap in any direction should he detect something or need to help the other knights.

@harinezumikouken Why is Ian a scout?
man it sounds like a bunch of interesting stuff is happening
and yet Ian wound up talking to two overexcited schoolgirls and an angsty teen

Ian nodded at each girl in turn as they introduced themselves and sat down before he himself took a seat, his tail curling around into his lap to avoid being squished in the seat. Once comfortable he started to answer Mariegolde.
"hmh, I saw more of the land in Velt than it's cities, but even so I found it wonderful. There's something freeing about wandering the mountain ranges in the north, perhaps it's the wind" he shrugged "though I never got to see the cathedrals, or anywhere fancy really. This is even my first time inside a castle like this...heh, but you wanted to hear tales of adventure, yes? hmm, what to tell..."
Ian's life has certainly had it's glorious moments but there were honestly not too many things to tell about and he didn't have the intention of over-embellishing a mundane story. He did take a good lookover of the three girls while he tried to recall a tale for them, the two blonde ones were a little amusing with their excitement but the dark haired one seemed like she wouldn't even be there if she wasn't friends with at least one of the other two.
Before he was able to speak again the announcement of the princess' arrival sounded catching his attention for moment to hear her speak before looking back to the girls infront of him. He was getting a feeling that even if only a few Rose knights were brought up to speak to the princess he was going to be one of them...

Strangely excited to see the continuing adventures of puppy knight: dog days. (Poor Ian and getting ambushed)
pls send halp...
I didn't take long for Ian to find himself confronted by three young noble girls, the usual crowd that gathers around you when you're an exotic race with puppy ears, though at least rather then having to endure a flurry of petting and rubbing he was asked to tell of his adventures, That was quite honestly a new one to him.
He shrugged "well, I've traveled from Ithillin all across Velt, I've certainly got a few tales to tell if you want to hear them" He folded his arms and took a short glance at the commotion stirred up over by the captain and some other knights "though, maybe somewhere that isn't the middle of the entryway" He made a gesture at the floor and hoped these girls would lead him somewhere that, at the very least, wasn't the middle of the blighted room.
whether or not they started moving he would eventually say "I don't believe I caught your names before" and give them an inquiring look.
