usually i put a gifset from a sitcom or something in the first part of this post but i'm at work and can't find one. consider this a placeholder until i get home
[Berkut meanwhile was busy scouting for his men while checking back on the mage to make sure she doesn’t attempt to flee with the fog lifting. Bad luck again for Rigelian prince however, as none of the members of his army where anywhere to be found. It seems he had been separated further than he thought from the pack. But he couldn’t leave this girl behind while she is still in her grasp so he had to have faith in Fernand that he would guide them in his absence.]
What an utter nuisance that was...
[He mumbled under his breath, too unclear for anyone to make out what that was. His horse breaks into a trot, stopping about a foot in front of Mae. With the monsters out of the way and the dust settled it was time to turn his attention back to the mystery girl.]
Now. You. State your name and why you have chosen to trespass our lands, Zofian mage. Failure to comply will result in consequences.
[At least he wasn’t holding his weapon right in her face. Yet.]
Consequences, ooooh, scary. [She had definitely said smarter things to people wielding weapons before?? But okay, she took a few big steps back as he approached again, eyeing the lance. If he raised it at her again, she couldn't afford to hesitate. One good spell would be enough to keep her from being sliced apart like those witches, she was sure, could buy just enough time.]
All right, well done! You caught me. I'm not on a picnic, I'm lost. I was hoping to keep some of my dignity intact over that, but it looks like that ship has sailed.
[mae you only followed like a quarter of the instructions given to you, please]
Look, I dunno what makes you the authority on who comes and goes around here, but I'm just trying to keep things moving. It's just that sometimes, y'know, [she gestured vaguely at the area around them] witches happen instead. Guess that's just life.
That’s because I AM the authority here. Crown Prince Berkut, standing before your eyes now, you peasant.
[His glare was like daggers ready to strike now. Why was he stuck arguing with this woman? Had he gotten soft and cautious since losing to that farmer boy twice over now?]
And that’s not the answer I’m looking for. What business do you have entering Rigel? No one from Zofia is allowed through our walls now barring exceptional circumstances.
[Except for the fact that the walls that held the Sluice Gates closed have recently been opened back up. That was a problem and definitely what allowed this girl to slip through.]
Now, speak the truth or be met with bladed edge of my lance.
[Except suddenly the fog was starting to creep up on them. Again.]
