Annalise blushed embarrassingly at the man's comment. It was flattering, but she knew he was the type to flirt then leave. He didn't look half bad himself, but she shrug the thought away and noticed another one entered and began to whisper to the man. She gave them a confused look for a moment, but they made little gestures which weren't very subtle. Though she wasn't usually the type to get into people's business, this looked serious. She was willing to offer help if they need it, but she hesitated for it would be nosy of her to do so.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked the man for he had a distressed look upon his face.

Skye watched as a familiar boy went into the pub. Hmm... So my suspiscions were correct. He thought to himself as the boy went inside. Sure, he was a knight of the castle, but he didn't fight unless needed. He was an outlaw himself, before he was a knight, but he wasn't going to battle without a reason. His drunken associates may cause something, though... He had to listen carefully for any unwanted outbreaks.

Mayia was walking up the street and noticed that there was a knight outside of a pub. Mayia was always a little more scared of knights. Her earliest memory that had a knight in it was how she lost the one kind home she had. Shaking her head, Mayia pushed on with Hunter at her side. She had to pick up some seeds from one of the stores in town.

.:Children of Erin:.

"What do we do now?"
Simon whispered to Arthur.

"Well, we can't all leave at once...I'll take Jacquelyn back first since she might damage her ankle even more if a fight broke out..."

Simon nodded and turned back to the barmaid, like nothing was wrong.

"Eh, don't worry your pretty little head my dear. It's just that my sister over there needs to get off her bad foot."

"What are you--"
Jacquelyn began to protest.

Arthur quickly went over and whispered the situation in her ear.

"Oh...ah...yeah...that's the reason..."
She said and let Arthur help her up.

Then the two left and left Simon with the barmaid and the rest of the party at the table.

Once out, Arthur began to lead Jacquelyn back to the house they were staying at.
Then Jacquelyn stopped and refused to move.

"Why did you stop?"
Arthur asked urgently.

"Look."
Jacquelyn said, pointing a finger in the direction of a feeble, old woman sitting on the side of the street.

Jacquelyn limped over to her with the help of Arthur.
Jacquelyn then proceeded to take a leather pouch off of her belt and gave it to the woman.

"Eh, what is this?"
The woman asked in a tone that soundly heavily worn down from years of over use.

"A gift."
Jacquelyn replied back in a soft tone.

"But my dear, its obvious to anyone that has eyes that your foot is not in any proper condition. I could not take money from someone like that. You need to use this money for a physician."

The woman reached up to return the money, but Jacquelyn shook her head and pushed it back to her.
"No. You need it more than I do. Besides, its just a slight fracture. Nothing serious."

"Bless you child."

Jacquelyn smiled and waved as Arthur began to lead her away.

The Children of Erin might be thevies to the Rich, but they were saviors to the poor.

Annalise didn't bother to argue with the man. Another waitress comes in.

"I'll take over." she said, taking the notepad and pen from Annalise.

"Th-Thank you." Annalise replied and gave her the soaked apron as she made her way out of the pub. Slowly walking down the street she undoes her hair and allowed it to fall down. It slowly unraveled almost like strands of silk. Luckily he hair didn't get too wet from the beer, though her clothing did. Brushing her brown hair with her fingers, she walked through town. Looking for someplace to stop by and eat.

Mayia looked back when Hunter stopped and Hunter trotted up to the girl who had given the feeble old woman a pouch. Hunter seemed to take a liking to Jacquelyn. Mayia stood back. She wouldn't have known what to say even if she had walked up to those people, but she couldn't leave without Hunter, so she just hung back and waited for something to happen. Hunter sat in front of Jacquelyn and peered up at her with happy eyes. Mayia never saw that so spontaniously before.

"May I have a small sack of flour please?" Lila sweet voice broke over the busy store. The store owner headed down the backside of the counter to fetch her the flour she had asked for. "Marley? Would you like something too?" She turned to the four year old for her answer. Her hand felt for the hidden pocket in her petticoats. In there were only a few small coins she had grabbed from her secret stash.
Marley took time to think over exactly what she wanted. When she had finally made her decision, after consulting her doll, she chose a small piece of sweet candy.
"Here you go Madam. Anything else?"
"Yes please. One piece of that please." She pointed at the sweet her sister picked out. The man scoopped up two and set them beside the flour.
"Umm I said only.." Her sentence cut short by the owner telling her the price for the corn and one of the candies. She paid and grabbed the sack while Marley scooped up the goods.
"Thank you kind sir." Lila said with a smile. Marley too thanked the man with her lightened face and smile.
They exited the store and stood by the main road, Marley had already stuck her candy in her mouth and was happily sucking away at the treat. She gave the other sweet to her sister. Lila popped the candy in to her mouth and felt the odd shape with her tongue. Instantly sugary sweetness started filling her mouth and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah," said Veronica, "Trist-" A loud crash came from nearby and she jumped to her feet in time to see the barmaid kneel down to pick up the pieces of a smashed tray of beer mugs. She growled under her breath and went to draw her sword- Veronica couldn't stand women being treated like animals, especially by knights who should know better. A man stepped in, though, and made them apologize. Veronica smiled in his direction and gave him a small nod, to show her approval of his behavior. At least that person in charge wasn't a complete pig, which was a start. She sat back down with her drink and finished it, then wiped the last bit of froth from her lip with her sleeve. "I've got to go," she said to Erica. "But I'll see you around. Actually-" she lowered her voice, "You're not still working for the Kingdom, are you?"

Annalise was strolling down the street. She was about to leave town and enter her village. The town was so loud and busy, while the village was so quite and peaceful. Barely anyone was outside today, she began to wonder why. Slowly strolling down the path towards their little home, Annalise opened the door and entered. She headed straight to her room to change. Combing her hair as she puts it back up in a bun. Running down the stairs as she enters the kitchen.

"M-mom I'm he--" Annalise stopped. No body was there, but all the things were toppled over. There was a note left on the table.

The rent for this month wasn't paid, therefore your parents are to serve the royal family until the debt is paid!

Annalise stormed out of their home and ran towards the village. Her speed was incredible, she was going so fast that she seemed almost invisible to the townspeople. She ran all the way to the palace as she stopped near the entrance.

"Let me in!" she yelled to the knights that were standing in her way. They ignored her and continued to block her way. She tries to go pass them, but they push her down to the ground.

"Give me back my parents!!!!" one more, she tries to barge through them, but they just push her straight to the ground. The impact was quite hard that it left a scrape on her arm, but she didn't care she wanted her parents back.

[Mayiamaru]

Two of the knights had come from the pub finally. The other division was none of his consern anymore. With the two knights that invited him to come, they returned to the palace only to noticed the riot. "Eh. Looky there. The wench is making up a riot. We out to cut her down for-" "Silence." Skye said sternly, shutting them up abruptly before he stepped forwards. Two outbursts in one day? What a day... "Miss, what is the meaning of this?" Skye said, stepping between the knights and the girl. He couldn't stand that his simple day of training was turned into... well, this! He held his guitar over his shoulder, the hand embroidered strap the only splash of colour on his person.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Annalise recognized the man, it was the same man that helped her earlier. But she just noticed that he was a knight, he was one of them.

"I can take care of myself." she said in a cold, annoyed voice. Turning back to the guards that were blocking her way she took her shoes and threw it at them, one for each. She then turned around and walked away. There were other ways into getting in the palace and the main entrance was only one of them. Annalise walked back into town bare-foot. The hot ground began to burn her feet after a while, but she endured the pain and ignored it.
