@Chris, and others near him.

Suddenly as Christopher turned a corner, he bumped onto someone a bit taller than him. The cold eyes and lack of any emotion showing on the face... it was one and only...

"Christopher. I just heard that you left Prixima's services. But do not worry my comrade, I will always remember you. Keep the lockpicks, I hope they will remind you of me." Some other person would grin or smile, but Ernest just kept a straight face.

"Can we talk for a moment? I just need to exchange few words with you before we part ways."

@Gregor:

As Gregor passed some soldier, someone grabbed him by shoulder. It was Captain Aaron.

"Gregor, I need to talk with you, if you... can spare a moment."

@Olison:

Olison found Anja and the mounts right at the courtyard, some of Menelean soldiers brought them in. Anja looked rather disgusted and concerned at the sight of bloody siege, but kept a smile on her face.

"You! You are one of the Gregor's guys, aren't you? You guys are allright?"

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena leaves the study, quickly heading towards the wagon to check on her pegasus.

[CrimsonEon]

Olison spoke sullenly.
: "It was a tremendous effort, but we've managed to pull through."
He walked up to Steil, who was keeping well away from the blood. He looked the horse over for injuries, gladly seeing him unhurt. He moved along to look over Seyena and Ami's mounts.
: "Though not without some losses. It will be a while before we recover."

[Powder Miner]

Alexander casts a sympathetic glance at Gregor as he leaves. Captain von Hexham...? Truly a shame...
And Alexander was unsettled with this news about the poison apples. Did this mean that Prixima had poisoned a fellow Menelean noble? Worse, did this mean that Prixima had incurred a siege upon Menelea?
Alexander's head was swirling with thoughts about loyalty.
But now he had an order, and... it was one he was going to follow.
And as such, Alexander looked around for Aaron.

[IronyOwl]

: "Oh. Would you like me to leave you two alone?"

[Sirus]

Upset Gregor: "Huh? Oh, yes. Of course."

Follow Aaron.

[Haspen]

@Olison:

"Phew! It would be terrible to learn that guys who saved my life once got killed shortly afterwards. Do you know how many of you guys will be going off this damned place? I thought about staying with that Gregor guy, or maybe Charlotte girl, and I think others would like a lift somewhere nearby as well."

@Gregor:

Aaron took Gregor to the other end of the hallway, where it was quieter.

"I understand that you are upset. You father's death wasn't in vain, his courage helped many of the trainees to escape. And you should know that your brothers got through this bloody mess in good shape. Just few bruises and scratches."

Aaron placed his hand on Gregor's shoulder.

"I'm sorry for your loss. But we all knew that one day, he might die at his post."

[Praefectus Screptum]

Tantallos just shrugged and walked away to check for anything interesting as it seemed most of people were talking.

[Haspen]

@Tantallos:

The shaman could see that funeral pyres were being constructed already. It seems that per Menelean customs, all of the bodies were going to be cremated, including the traitors and foreigners.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Ah, Ernest. Of course. What is it you need?"

[Powder Miner]

Alexander all of a sudden stops as he begins to dwell on something that, though it had flown him into his rage, he had not stopped to think about.
And with a dismayed, and even somewhat terrified expression, he rushed down to the courtyard full of bodies and blood, or if the bodies had already been moved, near the funeral pyres.
He began looking at the Menelean bodies, particularly the knights.
:"No no no no NO NO NO!"
Who did he know?
Which of his comrades had died?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor, having left before the others, continued alone towards the guest quarters.

[Praefectus Screptum]

Tantallos placed his hands together and shook his head a bit.

"The Plague Dragon is with you all now...""

The shaman decided to move a bit closer just to check the progress.

[freeformschooler]

Charlotte heads down the castle stairs and out into the entrance hall for one last look at the place before she leaves it all behind. Best to handle this as maturely as possible after that immature outburst.

[Haspen]

@Chris:

"Oh, I don't need anything. I just wanted to give you this..." Ernest pulled out a scroll, tightly rolled and with a black wax seal. One of 'those' contracts.

"...Unfortunately I learned that during the siege, I've lost some of my apprentices. So, as much as my heart would love to reward you for our cooperation, I think I will use that to hire replacements." For a brief moment, Ernest smiled, showing his steel-tipped teeth.

"I hope you understand. Now, I won't be keeping you here. Don't die out there." He hid the contract back between folds of his robe.

@Alexander:

From what he could see and what he could hear from surviving soldiers, almost everyone from his unit were now dead. Those who were 'lucky' where now resting in quarters and infirmaries.

@Tantallos:

The bodies had priestly markings written at random parts of their bodies, possibly to either bless their souls or keep them away from raising the bodies.
