The guards were taken back by his words, and once taken in the young boy, the guard began to stammer.

"What? Truly you claim to be of noble blood?" the man had to ask, his face contorting in disbelief at the phrase. But sadly, it seemed believable, the man held himself as any other noble would, and, as his eyes caught over his attire, he found his family crest on his attire. Biting into his lower lip, the guard knew he was in trouble.

It was here Valia finally peered up, her eyes going wide once Gabriel came to her rescue. She found her heart doing all sorts of ridiculous flips at the notion- that was, until she remembered, it was HE who left HER to rot in this pitiless town! Sniffing, she tried brushing at her tears and tore back the hood on her cloak.

"Yes, he is who he says he is, as am I, daughter of Duke Harold, Duke of the mighty dukedom of highheart!"s he thrust out her chest, kept her head high and pressed herself at Gabriel's side. If he was goign to play hero, she might as well jump on the boat with him. After all, it seemed a sure way to get out of this god foresaken town!
"My father will have your head for this! How dare you try to strike a lady!" She ground her heel into the ground and made a noise of disgust. "And to strike a man of noble blood when you are so beneath his station.." she wrinkled her nose at the idea. They would have his head twice!

But it was only then the guard began to question-
"Wait, if you are both children of dukes, what on earth are you doing all the way in this little town? And without escorts?" The guards, now realizing they had an alibi on their on side, didn't fall back, but rather pressed their eyes towards the pair, hoping they could cough up a believable excuse..

and if they did.
Boy were they fucked!

Gabriel glanced down at Valia as she pressed against his side and started berating the guard. Sure, now she was just dandy with him being there. Fickle woman. Of course, he knew that the moment his presence didn't suit her, she'd just tell him to shove off again. Already he regretted coming back for her, his chest stung and burned where the whip had sliced his skin; so much trouble for a spoiled brat that didn't even like him. Even still, he was glad it was him wounded and not her. She was still a lady, after all.

His emerald eyes flared in anger at the guard's question and he stepped forward threateningly. "How dare you question me, peasant. I am free to go where I please, when I please, however I please. I am a man, I do not need an escort, and I am Lady Valia's escort." It was unusual, yes; technically they should have had guards escorting them, for protection and so that they were not alone together. Still, Gabriel knew he could hold a commanding presence and hoped that his outrage and forcefulness would be enough to get the guards to step down without further questions.

So much for passing through undetected, surely both their father's would hear of this soon enough, and they would know that they had come this way, and that they were together. Well, Harold was sure to be displeased with that, and his father wouldn't be happy either, but his father would be more receptive to hearing him out.

After a moment, the guards eventually did break down and the curl to Valia's lips grew wider. She stared over her fiance for a moment. Well, perhaps he could be useful. Then she turned back to the guards with a sniff.

"Yes, I hardly think you want TWO angry duchies wishing to hang your heads. Now the lot of you should get to your knees and apologize. You struck the son of a duke and you should all be punished for such transgressions!"
Valia had no idea when to quit, but the men seemed obligated, looking to one another before bowing their heads and lowering their weapons before Gabriel.

"We are sorry for the confusion, my lord. But it just seems.."

"Just seems what!?" Valia snapped, then hooked an arm with Gabriel's. "If we wanted your excuses we'd ask for them. A lord ad lady's business is not your own." She squeezed Gabriel's arm. "Well, are you going to punish them?" Valia jabbed. "They struck you and we ought to strike them back!"
The nerve of those men! Really! And poor Gabriel.. she tried not to appear squeemish at the blood, but it was something she wans't quite fond of, or use to.

Gabriel could have breathed a sigh of relief when the guards backed down. If they knew what was really going on they would have probably taken them into "protective custody" and sent word to their fathers to come fetch then. That would have gone over really well. He knew they shouldn't press their luck and the sooner they left the better. Valia just couldn't leave it at that, though. He threw her an annoyed look as the guards apologized to him, and he would have dismissed them if Valia had just kept her mouth shut.

She did have a point. They had struck him. Not only had they struck him, but they had ruined his shirt and coat, and caused him to bleed. It would be expected for them to be punished in some way, but he wasn't sure he was comfortable doing it himself. "Lady Valia is right; you should be punished for your transgression. I could have you all strung up, but because it was a misunderstanding, I will instead see to it that you are all publicly flogged and stripped of your station. Guards should be more intelligent men than you have shown."

He gave Valia a warning look. She was wrapped about his arm again and he considered shaking her off, but that would look odd, considering she was still considered his fiancée. He settled for glaring at the guards. "Is there a doctor in this Ansgar forsaken town? I'd like to get cleaned up now, and see about fresh clothes." He had blood smeared on his chest and his shirt was stained with crimson around the cut. It hurt, but it was just a flesh wound, nothing serious, but it should still be cleaned and bound to prevent infection.

"Y-yes. Let me escort the pair of you to him. Dr. Warren should understand the details and not charge yourselves to be healed." The lead guard looked over the pair before gesturing to his men and leading the way.

Valia, who had been silent for a time, cast Gabriel a soured look. Why was he giving her those stares? Hrmph. As if he knew how to punish these men.
"I would have had them flogged right there in the streets,"s he hissed, hugging his arm a bit tighter as the pair was lead forward to a tall house on a corner of a long street. Valia craned her neck up at it, wrinkling her nose some before turning to Gabriel.
"It doesn't look like anyone is home." But when the bell was rung, an eccentric man appeared, wearing spectacles, hair that looked more like a wig than actual hair as it curled out in every which directon and was powder white. And he was tall and lanky, his body hunched forward as he noted the pair and listened as the guard explained.

"Good heaves! Well, he won't certainly die from such a strike, but it will need looked at all the same. Come, come!" Dr. Warren said with a clap and turned and strolled right back into his house, leaving Valia to cut an uncertain gaze at her fiance.

"Isn't he a strange fellow," she whispered under her breath, and felt even more bizarre as she stepped with Gabriel inside his house, to find it full of taxidermied animals, and one that kind of looked like a taxidermied man...
and at the sight, to see dead skin puckered around stitches and hollowed sockets for eyes- it was about all Valia could take before her breath was taken from her, her eyes rolled back and she resigned herself into a faint.

Gabriel shook his head as Valia clung to him as they walked together to the doctor's home. He lowered his head and his voice so that he could whisper to her. "I just want out of here as soon as possible. The longer we stay, the more likely we'll be found out. If they know we've run away they'll arrest us and send word to our fathers and we'll be carted home." That was the last thing he needed right now. Although, he hadn't really thought of running away until Valia told him that was what she was doing.

Looking up at the house, he would have agreed with Valia, the place did look as if no one was home. Ever. When the door was answered, he could only blink at the man that appeared. This was who was going to look after his cut? It really wasn't that bad...Rolling his eyes at himself, he stepped through the door and was taken aback by the taxidermy. This was a very strange individual. "Very strange." He agreed with her quietly.

A moment later Valia dropped in a dead faint. Gabriel caught her this time, rather than let her fall as he had done in the woods when she'd stubbornly insisted on walking. Definitely more trouble than she was worth he thought sourly. "Poor Lady Valia," He murmured softly. "It has been a long and overwhelming day. I'm afraid it has been too much for her." He felt pretty dead on his feet, actually. He had not slept the night before. With a sigh he lifted her into his arms.

"Do you have somewhere she could rest while you have a look at me?"

Dr. Warren was taken back when the lady fainted.
"My!" He clucked his tongue, but at his inquiry of a place to lay her to rest, he gestured towards the next room. "Come, there's a fainting couch over here you could lay her upon. But my, my, that is a nasty mark on you. Though it shouldn't take me long to apply ointment to it. Yes, yes, right here." he pointed to the fainting couch in the corner of the room, then gestured for Gabriel to follow him.
"Come, up the stairs I've got my supplies. We'll clean the wound then apply the salve and you ought to be right as rain. Though the mark might scar a little, and may sting for the next day or so, but I'm sure you'll live."

Gabriel carried Valia to the couch and laid her gently on it as he was directed. He hoped she was okay, but he was sure she was; just a fainting spell from all the excitement or some other such girly nonsense. Still, he found himself reluctant to leave her by herself again. The last time hadn't exactly worked out great for him. Assuring himself that he was being silly, how much trouble could she get into on a couch at a doctor's home? Gabriel was afraid of the answer to that question, as she seemed to be exceptionally good at getting in trouble.

Sighing he followed the doctor up the stairs. "Well if it scars I hear the ladies love a scar with a good story. Saving a young maiden from a whip-wielding brute should be impressive enough, I guess." Gabriel grinned, not seeming all that worried about the idea of a scar. It was the first time anyone had ever taken a whip to him, but he'd gotten worse injuries before. Son of a duke or not, the knights did not go easy on him while training. They couldn't afford for him to be soft.

After a time, Valia began to come to her senses, just as she heard Gabriel and the doctor vanish upstairs. Popping open one eye, she began to look around, her pink eyes scanning the room. It was vacant. Blinking, she sat up and stayed there a moment and only listened to the sound of foot steps and murmured voices upstairs. Then, ever so slowly, she tip toed over to the stair case, holding her breath as she listened and peered up.

"Here, just set your shirt right over here.." she could hear Dr. Warren instruct.
A smirk graced her lips. Without Gabriel around the fun could really begin. Slipping outside the room, she headed for the back door and was careful not to make too much noise. Then, ever so slowly, she closed the door behind her and snuck out amongst the crowd.

She made sure not to run into any stupid apple vendors this time as she fixed the hood more securely over her face. The marketplace seemed overflowing with people. She needed to find a way to get out of here and to the next town before Gabriel might suspect where she'd gone. But where? She hadn't a clue as to where she was going, and when she thought she heard the door slam open from the direction of the Doctor's, she gasped and threw herself inside the nearest building-
and as she closd the door shut, her nostrils arched, her brow twitched at a most pungent of smells. And as she whirled around, she was taken back to find she was stepping in a hog pit! FULL OF PIGS! FULL OF HOGS! All wallowing in their own muk and filth!
It was about all Valia could do to keep herself from fainting (well, the very idea of fainting onto such a nasty floor actually made her come back to her senses as she nearly resigned to it), and then she heard something- a familiar voice. SHe pinched her nose and held her breath, then peered out between cracks in the rotting wood of the pig barn she was hiding within.

Gabriel followed the doctor upstairs and took off his shirt as he was told, eager to been tended to and to be off again. It was too much to hope that Valia would stop causing him trouble, and again the thought to simply go home struck him. It would be the smart choice to return to his father and try to explain everything. Still, that was a difficult option and would cause him a good deal of trouble. There were only two other options. Run away himself, without Valia, which was both appealing and unappealing. He had a good life, why would he want to leave it? Why would Valia want to leave hers? The other was to stay with Valia until she came to her senses and let him escort her home.

None of them really stuck out to him as what he wanted to do. All Gabriel really wanted to do at that point was find somewhere to get something to eat and to go to sleep without worrying about a million things. Not least of all Valia and what to do about her. He'd been quite convinced he should call off the engagement earlier, now he wondered if he was just being rash about it. His father had wanted him to marry her for political reasons, and those reasons hadn't really changed. Marriage wasn't about love most of the time.

He remained blissfully unaware of Valia running off yet again. That was just another headache he didn't need.

Valia could NOT believe her luck. She had initially thought Gabriel was out to get her, but now that her eyes fixated upon a rather tall and handsome knight, her heart lurched into her chest. Not him! ANYBODY but him, for standing just outside the hog shack stood Sir Dumalin, the most obnoxious of knights. Not only was he full of himself, twice her age, but he was arrogant, a down right prick, and not really that good of a kisser. Valia had made the mistake of making out with him too many times just because he was easy and she wanted to play. But the play hardly lasted. It just wasn't as much fun as she wanted. And she was glad she was smart enough to say 'No' when they nearly went all the way.
Yes, Dumalin. WIth long, flowing blonde locks down to his buttocks, half of it tied within a blue bow. His entire body was chiseled to perfection, but held behind bulky, glittering knightly attire that was glinting off the sun and that very light was piercing irritably into Valia's eyes. She thought she ws going to go blind. The man stood rather tall, with his chin up in arrogance, that same damn smile upon his face as his obnoxious laughter echoed down the way.
Oh HELL if she was going to get caught by stupid Dumalin. Her eyes darted around ad she found a door on the opposing side of the pig's gate, and carefully stepped through them, but just as she was about to open the door, she tensed at what Dumalin had to say.

"They say Lady Valia has flown the coop. A reward to bring her home. These are trying times. SHe must be upset she isn't marrying me, since I heard there was an engagement to some froo-froo of a boy from Orchy." Dumalin wrinkled his nose in disgust. He had all of the fluffy skirt women about him beneath his charms, all of them colorful and fluttering hteir fans, and he had a motely crew of men about him as she slicked bakc his wavy hair to keep it out of his pristine face. His chin seemed to elogate as he pressed on, even his nose seeming to become pointer.
"Yes, I do believe his name was Gabriel Ghoulridge, or something like that."

Valia seethed and stomped her foot from where she was hiding.
"Gabriel Coleridge," she growled, hands balling into fists. Speaking of that stupid boy, where was he now? Wasn't he SUPPOSED to be chasing her? Growing irritated, she snuck out the back, but remained around, keeping a careful eye on Sir Stupid and barely paying attention to where she was walking...

It took only a few minutes for the doctor to look after his chest, and Gabriel was back down the steps, looking for Valia. He'd been gone less than ten minutes, and yet still she'd managed to slip away again. Even as he cursed her, told himself a thousand times to leave her be, let her go, and wash his hands of the entire mess; Gabriel knew he was too involved now. There were witnesses that had seen them here together just a short time ago. If even a single hair on Valia's head was harmed, it was he who would pay for it.

Angrily he stalked through the streets, looking for her. She couldn't have gotten far. Gabriel rounded a corner and almost skidded to a halt before ducking back into an alley. Cautiously he peered around the corner at the strange crowd gathered, although it was the knight that most concerned him. He didn't know if he'd ever really met him, but he wasn't going to risk it. Especially as he listened in on what was being said. His emerald eyes blazed angrily as he was referred to as a "froo-froo" boy. He might have confronted the dolt on that alone, but he had heard the part about Valia.

If Valia was caught Gabriel knew that she would blame him. He should let her be caught. She needed to go home, where she would be safe until their wedding. Wait. What wedding? He had to remind himself again that he was ordering it to be called off as soon as he got home. Blast it all! Turning he moved back through the streets, doubling his efforts to locate Valia quickly. He should let that silly knight find her, he thought; she would probably like him more. Seemed more her type with how ridiculous he looked and his arrogance might even match hers.

He was still fuming over the situation so badly that he forgot that he was supposed to actually be looking for Valia. Or looking at all, because he crashed right into her on accident as he rounded a corner.

Valia let out a cry of alarm as the pair ran into one another. And she had to do a double take when she realized who it was.

"Gabriel!?" she gasped, slapping a hand over her lips when she realized how her voice must have carried.
And that's when she heard that same familiar voice- Sir Dumalin's voice, and she grit her teeth, her entire body tensing.

"Valia, is that you?"

"Shit."

Snagging onto Gabriel's arm, she hissed, "Don't ask, just start running!" as she began to rush out into the crowds of the busy street.

Gabriel winced as Valia said his name, listening to her voice carry. So much for finding her and sneaking out of town while they still could! He scowled softly as he heard the arrogant knight's voice calling to Valia. He didn't have time to think, however, because in an instant she had gripped his arm and begun dragging him through the crowd.

Picking up his pace he held onto her as well, the last thing he needed was to get separated from her again, especially now. All this trouble for a woman that didn't even want him. "What's the plan, Valia? This was all your bright idea."

His tone was one of exasperation. If they got out of this with their hides still intact, she owed him, big time.

Valia cut him a glare, before running smack into a large, fat man int he crowd.
"Ooof!" the man turned around, glaring at the pair of them.
"What's the big idea?"

Valia, who saw the way the man just stared at them, opened her mouth to give him a piece of her mind when Sir Dumalin's voice cut through the crowd.
"YOU THERE SIR!"His voice was like nail's on a chalk board."HOW DARE YOU SPEAK THAT WAY TO A LADY!"

Oh, she could NOT believe this. Not only had she failed to run away from Sir Stupid, he was running their way just now, daring to play the rescuer. The fat man stared angrily at the knight, growling at him.

"This girl just ran into me! She didn't even apologize!" the fat man griped.

Dumalin tossed back his hair epically over his shoulder as he was swift to draw his blade, placing the pointed end at the man's throat.

"What- what the hell are you doing!?"

"Do you even know who this lady is?"

"D-Dumalin!" Valia squeaked.Oh he SO wasn't about to give her name away.

"This is Lady Valia of High Heart! And your filthy body got in HER way. Understand?"

The fat man visibly began to sweat, but simply nodded.
"Good. THan we are at an understanding. Now kneel before her, swine, and beg for forgiveness."

The fat man was taken back.
"What!?"

"You heard me!" Dumalin pressed. "Bow to her and beg for forgiveness, or I'll cut off your head."

Valia gripped onto Gabriel's arm, staring with her mouth gaping open, too apalled to do much else.
"Do something." she hissed. "You're above him in rank and nobility. See him off or something."

Gabriel had been ready to simply drag Valia away, to keep running after the collision with the heavy-set man, but he visibly winced as he heard that insufferably arrogant voice call out behind them. He whirled around to face the pompous knight, watching the display with his mouth hanging open. The man reminded him of a preening, strutting peacock and he wondered if the fool even knew how to use that sword he was toting around.

Come to think of it, had the moron even noticed him yet? He seemed completely concerned with Valia and the fat man and little else. Jealousy ate at him, for whatever reason. This preening fool was paying far too much attention to his fiancée. That and he hated the idea of being ignored by this pompous airhead. Valia didn't have to prompt him much to get him into action. Being called a froo-froo had made him want to get at Dumalin anyway.

"Ignore that order." He told the frightened peasant. "You will apologize to the Lady for your tone, but no one is going to be cutting off your head."

His emerald eyes were burning with disdain as Gabriel turned his attention to the knight. "Who asked you to interfere? Leave us; the Lady had no need for a silly, preening decoration." Yes, he had just implied that Dumalin was useful only as a pretty piece of background.

Oh.... my God. Valia couldn't help but smile at Gabriel's sudden display. It was.. heroric. And she rather liked this side of him, a soft blush growing on her cheeks. But then Dumalin's voice cut through as the sword from the peasant suddenly snapped directly at Gabriel. And that's when her smile faded as she stared at the scene, and paled.

"And who do you think you are? Wondering around with the youngest lady of High heart... What gall! Her father would surely see you hang for such a travesty, especially since you allowed her to even be touched by such a filthy and smelly peasant."

The fat man's face went flat, and he idly sniffed at his shoulder, wondering if he was as smelly as the knight had indicated.

"Allow me?" Valia's shrill voice cut through the moment. Oh, hell if Gabe would take all of the blame! "As if, Dumalin. He has been escorting me this entire time, and if it wasn't for your sudden interruption, I would NOT have been so distracted!" She huffed, glaring daggers at the fool as she gave a stomp of her pink highheels.
"Drop your sword at once! That is my fiance after all you are pointing your sword at!"

Gabriel didn't really notice the smile or blush; he might have even squirmed at the way she looked at him. He wasn't shy about women, he really wasn't, but something about Valia had thrown him all out of sorts. Ever since the moment he'd laid eyes on her she'd had his head all a mess. Thinking clearly wasn't something he found himself able to do around her. That made her kind of dangerous, he thought. The reason he didn't notice the look she'd given him was of course that the sword was no directed at him.

He opened his mouth, anger twisting his normally grinning face, but Valia quickly spoke up on his behalf and he raised his eyebrows in surprise. Valia was actually sticking up for him? Gabriel knew he shouldn't think anything of it, but he couldn't help but feel a flush of pleasure and warmth course through him. Maybe she did care, on some level. Why that should even matter at this point, Gabriel couldn't say. Still, some part of him wanted to think that maybe, just maybe, she did want him, even if she didn't want to acknowledge it.

"You heard her, get that sword away from me before I have you strung up by your heels and flogged for threatening your superior." Gabriel wasn't a violent or unforgiving type, he didn't like to hurt people or punish them; he really didn't. In this case, however, he thought he might be willing to make an exception.

OOC: Oh wow, typo XD I forgot the word 'fiance' in like the last line of dialogue :T whoops
*fixes it*

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

Dumalin's face contorted and twisted over the idea.
"Fiance?" His eyes looked the man over, his face growing even more repulsed. "This gangly thing?" And Dumalin actually snorted.

What did he just say? What did that man just say about HER fiance!? Her pink eyes flared dangerously, like two pits of molten lava. And to make matters worse, Dumalin had not dropped his sword. Her hands shook as they clenched into fists, and she stomped forward, slapping Dumalin hard across the face, leaving Dumalin staring in sheer surprise.

"L-lady Valia?" the man stammered, finally lowering the sword as he rose a metal gloved hand to his cheeks in surprise.

Oh, ho ho, was she ever pissed.
"You arrogant, ungrateful, lout of a man!" Valia spat, beating into him with her fists. "How dare you mock those of your superiors! How dare you ignore our orders! I should have you strung up like a pig for this!"

Dumalin only stared down at the young lady as she continued to beat on him, but after a time, he suddenly grabbed her by her wrists.
"But your father ordered this!" he told her, and at that, Valia was taken back, and began to jerk at the hold Dumalin had on her wrist.

"Let go of me! I don't care WHO sent you. I came out here on my own! I can do whatever I want!" Valia spat.

Dumalin grinned, enjoying Valia squirming within his grasp a little too much before he cocked his head over at Gabriel as he drew Valia into his protective arms. And all Valia could think was 'What the FUCK is this guy doing!?'

"Yes, as you see, my orders come directly from her father!" Dumalin said with an arrogant rise of his chin. "And you'd do well not to threaten me. She has now bee confiscated on behalf of her duchy, and her father will be most pleased. After all, what would he think when he finds out it was you who came with her, unescorted, all the way to this little town?"


Valia was growing red faced, but sadly, Dumalin had a point. But she had just about as much as she could take of this. Dumalin's stupid arms were all over her and the fact he was trying to one up them did not set well. Sos he blew her top. Stomping her heel into his foot she threw her fists down, and let out a scream, then elbowed him hard in the crotch, which got her the exact results she desired as the man gasped ad wheezed, releasing her due to all of the pain.
Valia leapt out of his hands, struck him hard across the second cheek and stood over him.

"If only i knew how to wield a sword of my own I'd skewer you, Dumalin Rosalin!" she shouted, voice echoing in epic rage down the road.


OOC: I forget what last name I picked for Dumalin so I'll fix it after I scroll back to see if I gave him a last name or not XD

Gangly thing? Gangly thing!? Gabriel's eyes might have been a deep green, but at that moment they were practically blazing with the fire of his hatred. How dare this arrogant, prissy, lesser knight insult him so! He very nearly lost control of himself then and there, he certainly was seeing red, and might have pounced upon Dumalin were it not for Valia stepping up and slapping the fool. Again he felt that tingle of pleasure and warmth course through him. Why should it please him so much to have her concerned about him or his honor?

At first he thought that Valia was going to properly humble the idiot, but then Dumalin's arrogance returned full force. When the man grabbed Valia, Gabriel felt something, something he had never felt before in his life. This unbridled rage unlike any anger he'd ever known, and it drove all thought or reason from him. Some filthy, moronic cretin had laid his hands on Valia. Valia, the woman that was going to be his wife. His woman.

Valia didn't need his help getting free of Dumalin's grasp, although if she had waited a second longer Gabriel would have been on them both. Instead even as she screamed at Dumalin for being a fool, Gabriel was upon him. Tackling the annoying lout to the ground his fist came down hard on the idiot's face, not once, not twice, but three times. "How dare you lay your filthy hands on my fiancée you son of a whore."
