"Do not move. How am I sure you are not one of them?"

“Forgive me, I had no wish to intrude. I'm still acquainting myself with this place.”

“Oh were you speaking to me? Forgive me I tend to forget I’m in the present.”

It seems as if

"It seems as if I have missed all the festivities."

“              I hardly think that would be wise, do you?”

[kilianbrannon]

"And may I ask why exactly you would feel the need to do such a thing?"

"I just arrived so as you can tell I’m a tad preoccupied. Do you wish to mold into the door frame or do you actually have something important to say?"

✣ susto

“Run, Your Grace!” The Spaniard called urgently over the noise of clashing swords, the dizzying screech of steel grating against steel echoing through the castle halls. Tomás watched with wide eyes as one of his men was cut down with the clumsy swing of a rebel's battle axe, alarm rising thickly in his chest. 

Another rebel charged towards him, sword drawn and ready to strike though whatever stood in it's way. Tomás dodged the initial swipe taken in his direction, countering the attack with a succession of short Winden manoeuvres. A well timed strike to the neck saw his opponent fall with speed, leaving the man to breathe his last as the knight paused for a beat to glance upwards. “— Please, for God's sake, run!”

   Since the incident at the ball, Tristan had lost count of the amount of dignitaries that had declined a glass of wine forthright if it was him holding the jug; the less than subtle steps to the side - to avoid walking within stabbing distance, he supposed - when they’d notice him in one of the Castle’s extravagant corridors. They were so restless, so utterly paranoid, that Tristan deemed it safe to give himself a day off. ‘Personal trauma,’ he’d assure anyone who asked. No work to do if each noble treated him as a walking sword, ready to strike at any moment.

  That didn’t mean this wouldn’t involve hiding. He took to the kitchens, gleefully accepting any spoiled food not perfect enough for the nobility. He was casually admiring the preposterous amount of bread when he heard footsteps approaching and assumed it was yet another servant with nothing to do till the next feast; “How much bread do these nobles need to eat?” He asked, chuckling and not turning his head from the bakery before him, “do you think they’d notice one missing?”

“I would like to be left alone, please.” Eleanor whispered from where she sat on the edge of her bed - ever since she was escoreted back to the safety of her chambers, and told her brother, and Isabelle were safe,  she could not stand the whispers of the servants as they came and went, making sure she was okay, she was fed, she was ready for the send off of Alistair’s body - the thought made her flinch as she peered over her shoulder at the intruder of her privacy. She needed tokeep that memory out of her head or she would crack.

"Yes? Do you need help with something?"

✣ consecuencia

The knight was quiet, unusually so. With his torso and left arm bound in bandages underneath his shirt, Tomás sat at a small table, his expression thoughtful. The door opened suddenly, pulling him from his thoughts so harshly that it made him jump.

“It’s all right. You may enter, I’m only hiding.” He called after a moment, looking up with a meek smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “I have managed to escape the captivity of the infirmary for a while,” He explained, “— the doctor who watches over us has the eyes of a hawk; thus I doubt my absence will go unnoticed for long.”

Freja's arms swayed at her sides as she sauntered through the trails of the castle gardens, chin raised ever so slightly while her lips danced, caught in a smirk. Her fingers swiftly gathered buds and flowers to form a large bouquet without hesitation. Her chambers were far too dark, and the temptation of nature was already calling her onward- despite her exhaustion from her recent voyage. She rounded the corner, light eyes snapping to a figure. "Don't worry, I spared the least favorable flowers to continue growing." She held up her bouquet. "Only a small sacrifice for my visit, as I'm feeling gracious today."
