It was about mid day when Lancer arrived in the kingdome of Falkhaven. She had grown quite well into her bothers light armor, but it wasn't really a surprise. In truth the armor could have been made for her, she was her brother's identical twin.... well besides their genders that is. She smiled as she passed through the inner gates. Then sometime later she made her horse stop and dismounted him. Slowly she began to walk ignoring those who looked towards her but remained on her guard. Slowly she approached the main gates of the castle proper. She handed a piece of paper to the guard there. After a moment the gates were open to let her precede to the main door. With slow cautious steps she continued inward. She had been lost in thought when she was greeted by two guards. “I have news that might of interest.” She told them in a deepen voice. As they lead her into the entrance way of the castle she took notice of everything.
After a moment and a few more questions, Lancer was lead into another room. She was told to take a seat and that they would find out if the king would take an audience with her. As they left her in the room she moved around explore it with an unusual grace. She could almost laugh at the guards. What would they say if they knew it was a woman dressed in this armor. She paused suddenly thinking of her brother who was so senselessly killed. She hoped that she was making him proud. She sat with a sigh.
Lancer looked towards the door and stood up. She squared her shoulders and slowly approached the door. "Hello?" She said in a deep voice. She paused only steps away from the door and looked out. "Can I help you?" She offered to whoever what there. She took a few more steps closer but then stepped back as if remembering that she was in someone else's castle. She stood completely still then turned with a grace to return to her seat.
After a few minutes of sitting there Lancer finally spoke. "You might as well come in and introduce yourself..." She finally said. "I won't tell anyone..." Which she meant and she was quite good at keeping secrets. "But you need to hurry before the guards return.." She kept her face neutral and spoke without even looking at the doorway.
(Yes and I amused that she would be mad that Lancer one knew that elle was there even through she sat back down as if she didn't. I'm sure that she wouldn't like it that Lancer spoke to her as if she was some silly girl.)
(I like that. I have an idea where they're meet in a hallway and after you post I can set it up. K?)
Lancer sighed when the person didn't appear and sat quietly for a few more minutes. Finally the two guards from before came to lead her into an inner chamber. Once there she reported her findings. The royal she spoke with said she was to stay at the castle freely but will be under a watchful eye. She was then escorted out of the inner chamber. Reminded that she was free to move around the castle but would also be watch they left her alone, saying a maid would show her to her chambers when the time came. With in moments she found herself in a familiar hall. With slowly steps she cautiously made her way down it.
If Lancer knew that someone was behind her, she didn't let on. She continued to walk down halls only pausing once in a while. After sometime, she paused the suddenly moved to go through one of the other archways. Moving quickly and gracefully to hide herself with in the shadows of the archway. She then waited quietly.
(Repost)Lancer stepped out of the shadows after watching the lady walk down the hall. She stood calmly for a few moments before deciding to follow the mysterious person. As she walked with silent footsteps she watched the lady trying to figure out away to approach her. The decision was made when she noticed the baton in the lady’s hand. She frowned wondering if the regent had planned for her to be attacked and imprisoned. With an inner sigh she made her approach. Once she was close enough she grabbed the lady by the arms firmly "Why are you following me?" She said in a quiet but firm voice.
"Well... I'm the one you're following." Lancer said moving towards the armor. She moved to make another grab at the lady. "Do you do this with all your visitors?"
Lancer stepped back and readied herself for attack. "You could have just asked...." She said with a sigh. She watched the lady and wondered what she would think of her if she had been her otherself.
"In most cases no..." Lancer replied. "I'm a different sort..." She told the lady trying crossing her arms. She slightly relaxed as she calculated a way to get to the lady.
"Only that I'm different from all others... There are no others such as I.... A steady balance that others have yet to find." Lancer replied her voice firm but soft. Also there were other things that made her completely different from the other knights or soldiers. She often wondered if she became her brother when she wore his armor. As she spoke she readied herself for attack.
"I'm telling you that I'm not your enemy. I am not allied with any...... My duty is to protect those who are in need of protection." Lancer said as she moved closer to the lady's position. "I make no judgments until I know the whole story."
It was good that Lancer was ready for her otherwise it could of turned out different. She did manage to mostly lift her helmets face plate when the baton bounced of her armor. She moved her arms around the lady to hold her firmly but not hurt her. "Then I can't judge you for your actions." She said softly.
"You Demand when I am only protecting myself... Lancer said firmly. "And such language...." She tisked at the lady. "Is that what they teach here?" She shook her head then sighed. "I will release you only if you give your word that you will no longer attack me."
(Lancer is a noble and she has an alter ego named Yellow Dancer. As Lancer she is in her male form. As Yellow Dancer she is in her female form.)Lancer was growing tired of this and didn't understand why this lady was so set on attacking her. She then decided to let her go but before she could the lady attacked again. She hide a smirk as the lady hit her where most armor had a weakness. Since she insisted on having the upper hand she would let her. So she gracefully fell to the floor closing her eyes. She felt the lady move away and heard her go down the hall. After a moment she opened her eyes and let out a laugh. Then with a sigh she sat up and removed the helmet to reveal her silver hair that was pulled back in and bound at the nip of her neck. She looked over the helmet before placing it back on her head. She then slowly stood up and looked around. There were times when she wished she hadn't taken on her brothers identity. It was so tiring to act male.....
(Sorry, I was eating. Yes, we can do that since Elle is in her room at the moment.)Lancer could finally relax now that she was in one of the guest chambers. She smiled gently as she unpacked her saddle bags. It was time for a change and thankfully there was a balcony. She removed her helmet so she could being to change.
(Whenever you are ready.)
