There was approximately fifteen of them, and all wore Menelean armor. All of them had lances, or swords, or both.

"Not a bad idea, they might also have news from the plagued city. I don't see any bows, so even if they are hostile, we should be fine." Seyena said, guiding the pegasus downwards towards the horsemen, but just out of range.

"I hope you all don't mind if I ask your business upon the road?" Seyena called to the horsemen cheerfully.

[Taricus]

: "Well well... Best to stay hidden until we reach the castle though..."

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor said nothing, letting Seyena handle the talking for now.

[Haspen]

@Seyena&Valor: The riders stopped their horses slowly and then mumbled between themselves, before someone shouted 'nonsense! move aside!'. The owner of the voice moved in front of the group, riding on a black horse, unlike the rest of his group; they used brown horses.

"Such pure flower of moonlit beauty cannot be a Berebian spy! But where are my manners. Sir Larion Rosecross, at your service, m'lady. I'm leader of this cavalry unit, and we're going home, to Kesselring. And what business brings such fair lady into the nightly ride on a pegasus with her... humble servant, I guess?"

[Praefectus Screptum]

"...How funny. For the first time on my life, I do not know what to say. I wonder if we will have at least four people on the group yet when this ends."

[Sirus]

Gregor looked around at the rest of the group, then spoke up.

: "Lord Aaron, I regret to inform you that this messenger is dead. Adrien had a role in his death, though Chris here was also involved. Adrien ran off, and we don't know where.

"As for Seyena, she and Valor - the blonde sword-mercenary - flew off to ((insert name of the plague city here because I sure as hell can't remember it)) with what little of the potions we could save."

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Vilino.)

Chris raised the litter he was carrying a little, as if to indicate it to Aaron.

"I'm going to make a report to Lady Prixima. If you want to learn what happened, you can be there when I do."

[Haspen]

@rest: Aaron rubbed the back of his neck, looking quite unsure what to do now.

"So, I think the larger problem will be Captain Torres as it was his nephew. Lady Prixima isn't the one to care about every soldier's life in her castle. So there's that, I will have to speak with Lady Prixima and Captain Torres. You really keep me stressed sometimes..." Aaron, after that, instructed his soldiers to tie the litter and the body to the late messenger's horse, and then he instructed his group to go toward the fortress at reduced speed, and to look around for Adrien.

"You're welcomed to have a ride with my cavaliers if any of you doesn't feel like walking."

[Gamerboy4life]

"Such pure flower of moonlit beauty cannot be a Berebian spy! But where are my manners. Sir Larion Rosecross, at your service, m'lady. I'm leader of this cavalry unit, and we're going home, to Kesselring. And what business brings such fair lady into the nightly ride on a pegasus with her... humble servant, I guess?"

"Well, say what you will, but he seems polite enough." Seyena muttered, trying to hide her amusement.

Seyena called out to the knight, "Me and my companion -not a servant- are heading towards Vilino to deliver a small amount of plague cure. If you know anything new about the city, it would be nice to hear now, rather than find out later."

[Haspen]

@Seyena&Valor:

"Well, we haven't stopped there because the city is under quarantine, I heard there's more than six hundred afflicted by now. Fortunately, they're getting the cure from passing healers, and from our castle. Oh, you must be delivering that last shipment for today? The healers there are already fuzzing on it's lateness. I would speed up that pegasus of yours if I were you. Now, if you excuse us, m'lady, we need to join Captain Aaron and the rest of our troop." With that, he snapped with the reins - the horse carried him away, and the rest of the riders followed.

Valor scowled at the riders as they galloped away. "Servant indeed." Valor turned his gaze toward Vilino, and gave a small sigh of relief. "If nothing else, this was at least not all the medicine they were depending on."

[Sirus]

"You're welcomed to have a ride with my cavaliers if any of you doesn't feel like walking."

: "I think I would prefer to walk, milord."

An almost genuine smile crossed Gregor's face.

: "I promise not to get lost this time."

[Gamerboy4life]

Valor scowled at the riders as they galloped away. "Servant indeed." Valor turned his gaze toward Vilino, and gave a small sigh of relief. "If nothing else, this was at least not all the medicine they were depending on."

"He seemed quite a bit sure of himself, didn't he?" Seyena said, urging her pegasus on the last stretch to Vilino. "Anyway, those at the city will have to deal with what we have- it's not our fault Chris and Adrien killed that poor man."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I'll walk. But thanks anyway, Aaron."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Well, obviously the fault doesn't lie with us." Valor said, eyes fixed resolutely ahead. "Still, people sometimes let fear and anger get the best of them. With a plague about, I'm sure many people are afraid it may be the end of them. It's hard to say how many people Adrien killed on the road last night." Valor shook his head sadly.
