Savannah + The Reaper = At It Again

Cassandra looked at the handsome strange that had saved her. She smiled politely at him, blushing lightly. "I couldn't burden you more with such a request. You have done a great kindest to me already, good sir." she said to him shaking her head as she picked up her knife and sheath it.

------------

Victor heard Julia's question. He paused and turned to look at her. His fake smile on his lips. "Simple to enjoy the world beyond theses words, and of course to train. You would not believe on the women, i've have gotten to enjoy on my journey brother" he said not turning to his brother, though his voice was still loud for Julia to here.

"oh brother, I cannot believe how different you've become. Come, father will want to see you as well" Lysander said as they walked.

"My, my....Victor. Do not speak like that " his mother said distressed at the words Victor spoke.

Wyatt kept his smile in place. This woman was well mannered. She was probably raised by a rather classy family. So the question to why she was all the way out her at the back end of this rather dangerous city was a good question in Wyatt's mind. Though he did not ask this. "'Tis not a burden," he assured. He glanced to his horse and whisled to it. The horse--well trained--turned to him and began it's trot up the hill to them. It reached the top where they stood and Wyatt ran a hand over it's head. "I would like to ensure you get home safely, milady," Wyatt said, looking to her again, deciding to let his hood down finally.

Sam was so near the hill. A figure in the distant at the top caught his attention. But there where three figures. Two appeared to be humans and the other a horse. He kept his pace quick.

Julia found her stomach tighten at the mention of Victor having been with many women. Though it should not bother her. Why did it bother her? Maybe for the same reason why his disappearance had. Julia decided that this was a game that two could play, though she would not do it in the same manner as he. "Oh mother, let him speak of his nights with women as he will," she said just as loud as Victor had. "Maybe Lysander can tell him how much more rewarding it is to have one woman like myself. What it is like to have her always by his side." Just as Victor had done, she kept her eyes on him as she spoke even though he was walking from her still. She knew at the volume she used, he would hear.

Cassandra blushed as she looked at him. He was very handsome and noble man. She smiled at the horse and pet it. "What a lovely stead you have.....oh goodness me. I never asked my savior his name." She said looking up into his eyes.

[hmmm well shall bring the rest in soon! I can wait for Abby to meet the solider :)]

-------------------------

"My.....in my youth we would never speak of such a thing.....specially not loudly" their mother said embarrassed by their behavior. "I need to a refreshment. I've stayed out beyond my reach." She said fanning herself.

Victor's fist were crushed together. She met nothing to him, he reminded himself as he continued to walk with the very brother...no the very man that displeased him most.

Lysander blushed at his wife's claim. He never knew her to be so bold. In fact, he didn't know she even liked it that much to boldly say it.

[Savannah W ~]

"Wyatt," he introduced. "And your name, milady?" he asked. But soon Wyatt's eyes had found focus on two approaching. They were a short distance away now, making their way up the small hill.

"Cassandra!?" Samuel called out, still not slowing as he ran up the slope. He could see her now. That had to be her. Who was she with? Was this man a threat?

----

Julia regarded her mother-in-law's words. Normally Julia would not speak of such things to anyone beyond a few close female friends who seemed to obsesse over gossip. When they would ask her, she would tell a few things here and there. But yet now she was yelling it down the hall. Julia took in a deep breath, trying to control herself. This was the last thing she had expected. Julia turned from the hall and just began to walk. She had no destination in mind as she did so. Soon she came upon the ball room. And this is where Julia decided to remain for a moment. The scene of Lysander's crowning played in her mind followed by her engagement and the moment that Victor showed his lack of love back towards her. This was all in the past, yet it burned like the present. Nevertheless. All that could be done now was to show how okay she was. How perfect things were now. They were not bad. She had grown to have deep feelings for her husband. She always loved him, perhaps not in the manner of marriage...but he was a good man and her husband.

"Wyatt, well it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Cassandra." she said correcting herself. She wasn't suppose to use her full name even though he seemed like a perfectly kind person. Normally she would, consider it was formal. She saw Samuel and smiled. "Samuel, Abigail. I am so terribly sorry if I worried you." she said

----------------

Lysander could sense his brother was distant and wasn't as familiar with him as they used to be. It felt as if they were strangers and that struck a cord with him for some reason. "So tell me brother what is theses gifts you speak of?" he asked curiously.

Victor smiled, it was controlled but never reached his eyes. "This" he said clapping his hands. The minute he did several concubines came dancing in. There dance was hypnotic and their movements were swift. Victor walked his brother to sit down and enjoy the show.

Cassandra? Wyatt recalled a well raised Cassandra, but she was one of the royal family in this part of the land. There would be no way such an important woman would be out here alone. So Wyatt dismissed the possiblity of this woman being the Princess, should be queen.

Samuel did not even know where to began with his words. There were some things an apology could not mend instantly. He wanted to remind her how wanted she was--dead or alive. He wanted to tell her that she needed to think before she did something like this. That going out alone was one of he dumbest things she could do. But he kept from saying any of this. It would give away too much to say these things. So he said nothing, only sternly glaring at her.

Abigail felt tension on Samuel's part instantly. She smiled to Cassandra, "You are fine, 'tis all that matters," she said, glancing to the newcomer. He had this strong aura to him.

-----

Julia spent ten to twenty minutes just wondering around the large ballroom, trying to keep herself from thinking too much about anything. Soon she had managed to gain herself enough, walking from the ballroom and through the castle, again no destination in mind as she did so.

Cassandra looked shamelessly at he feet from the look Samuel had given her. She dared not tell them what had occurred nor about the man that attacked her. "Of course, let me introduce you Wyatt to my friends. This is Abigail and Samuel" she gestured told them. She gave a pleading look to Wyatt to keep what occurred hidden from them.

------------------

[i'm trying to figure out the next to this really...any ideas?]

[Savannah W ~]

Wyatt could clearly see that Cassandra did not want what happened to be revealed, and who was he to give away someone else's business? So he did not say anything of the attack. "Samuel," he said towards the guy with a nod. "Abigail." He flashed a smile in the cute girl's direction before looking back to Cassandra. "It seems you have found your friends and no longer need an escort," he said to her, his smile still in place.

Sam did not have a bad feeling towards this guy seeing as he seemed to be friendly but not overly so. He nodded towards the guy when he addressed him but hen returned his stern eyes to Cassandra.

Abigail grinned childishly towards the man when he smiled her way. He was indeed a handsome man. He seemed to be a knight of sorts. But Abigail was not sure if she was correct or not.

(im not sure. It's pretty open to do whatever you want. There could be a family gathering to celebrate the return of Victor or something of that nature? Im pretty much down for anything. Julia is probably just going to rub her marriage in Victor's face as often as she can without fully meaning to and I assume he will do the same about him being single)
