Oh, how her servants and advisers had fussed!

Qiana's pregnancy wasn't even showing, and yet her handmaidens were acting like she was nine months pregnant already! Like she ought to spend her days bedridden, like she might trip going down stairs on her own and oh, the horror if she stooped to pick something up on her own or lift anything that might be heavier than a plate! Qiana found such doting obnoxious before; she had come from Featherfall, after all, and she had been raised to be strong and independent like the other women in her family. She had participated in the gryphons hunts from a young age and even knew how to skin and gut an animal unaided.

She was a lady, yes, and the queen, but she was far from helpless and frail! And while it was irksome before, she had been able to endure it with poise and grace.

Nowadays, she felt like she could bite off their heads.

Between that and the stress of her job (did the fools not realize they were only stressing her out more?), enough was bloody enough! Qiana needed to get out in the fresh air and vent in a healthy way, away from all the fussing and responsibility. One day wouldn't hurt anyone.

And so she dressed in her simple hunting garb, a simple, sturdy dress with boots beneath, her hair tightly braided and pinned up and out of the way. She gathered a few of her most loyal guards, men and women she'd brought with her from Featherfall, and with them she set out on horseback to hunt...well, something. Maybe a deer for the kitchens. Wouldn't the cooks have a fit when they realized she was the one to slay it?

Her hunt took her near the swamps. There weren't many large forests around Arca, but where there were trees, they were most plentiful by the water. And where there was water, there were animals. She had been tracking a deer for some time, a young buck, and one of her companions reported fresh droppings which meant they were close.

Which was both exciting and unfortunate. Qiana had been enjoying her time out here, free and on horseback, and was hoping it would have lasted longer--

Her thoughts cut off. There was a rustle in the bushes, and then a large shape, shrouded in shadow. It moved again, and Qiana nocked an arrow and took aim.

It was a short hunt, but...there would always be others.

She took aim, and let the arrow fly.

An arrow was the last thing he had expected to suddenly strike him in the swamps. Most knew better than to trek even to the outskirts of the swamps- knowing full well the mountain cats took homage there... somewhere in the unfit land to claim. Building houses were useless, especially in a flood plain, but the cats liked their trees, and most of their fortifications outside of their main hub, were built in the trees and as well camouflaged as they could get.

So it might have been the quiet lull in trespassers that had Khanna not looking over his shoulder as much as he'd normally do- but today, he felt was a good day to get practice with his arrows. He felt he was getting rusty when a few newer recruits were quickly becoming better than he. And not wanting to draw attention to this fact and his desire to not be outshined, he went out alone.

He was Khanna Dey- leader of the mountain cats, and only known brother to the elusive but fruitful world wild criminal merchant, Opus Dey. So with a family name like that to back him, and a reputation to be as ruthless as the mountain cats in this area, not many would think twice to even fuck with him.

Turns out he wasn't the only one out here-
and not the only one on the trail of the young stag.
But he had been hoping it'd take him deeper into the woods, not closer to the city. But the dense copse of trees offered enough camoflage from sight and smell that it was a perfect temporary refuge so Khanna could get his barrings.

However, at the sound of others in the swamp, by the time he moved to check it out-

That's when the arrow struck, and Khanna found himself standing there- stunned. A hand he hadn't known had moved, cupped over the wound and he felt the hot blood quickly seep through his fingers.

Fuck. Whoever this fucker was that shot him was going to be ended today. But when he turned to observe the archer through the foilage, he immediately noticed the emblem of the queen and was swearing inwardly again.

Fuck.

The last thing Khanna needed was a fucking run in with the royal crown. He purposely kept most of his operations away from Arca, but the few raids on some of the queen's jewels could not be helped. Not only was it an easy target, but too profitable to reprimand those who committed the heist-
So worst case scenario, he'd be tortured before his hanging for sure.

Not exactly wanting to be caught and killed so 'easily' (After all, he was known to be such a cautious man...), he grunted and forced himself to move, and as stealthily and quickly as possible, making his way into a thicket patch and not realizing that as he moved, he was leaving a small dribbling trail of blood.

The arrow flew true, landed, and--

And the shape moved.

It moved, and when it did, it did not move like a deer. It moved instead on two legs, and as it did, as it headed further into the foliage, Qiana's cheer of victory faded as grim, sick realization sank in.

That wasn't a deer.

She'd hit a person.

Oh Kia...

There were shouts from behind her, off in the distance, shouts to let her know the buck was just south of her, and that only hammered home her fatal error. But her companions were away from her right now--and out of some deep, almost childish fear, she didn't dare call them over before she knew the person she'd struck was still alive.

Oh gods...

Pressing in her heels, her horse took off as she guided it off the road and into the woods, spotting dark, wet blotches on the earth as she rode. Blood. But at least that meant whoever she'd hit was still moving, and if they were still moving they were still alive.

"Hello?" she called quietly, scarcely able to hear herself over the pounding of her heart. More splotches, leading toward a thicket. Oh gods, please let the wound be treatable. "Hello? Please come out! Let me help you."

Fuck. The royal had followed him. Of course they had. With this sudden bad stroke of luck, Khanna was already lamed. And his pursuer, closer than he'd like.

He felt into his pockets but found nothing of real use, and the knife at his side required him to get closer than he'd like. And though he was sure of himself in a knife fight, now was hardly the time to gamble.

He looked down at his bow and tensed. Itd be too awkward to handle in his condition, so he remained quiet and alert, hoping the damn noble idiot would just pass on by.

Unfortunately for Khanna, it was the blood trail that gave him away. Qiana spotted the dark splashes of blood in the soil and along the leaves of some bushes entering the thicket, and her frown deepened--as well as her concern.

The victim was bleeding. A lot. What if they weren't answering because they had collapsed?

Or because they're terrified you'll finish the job, you dimwit, she scolded herself, guilt eating away at her for being so damned careless.

With a deep breath, she swung down off of her horse and, though she knew it was risky, she left her bow and quill with her horse. Then, skirts swishing around her legs, she picked her way to the thicket, following the blood splotches, and parted the branches.

"Hello! If you're still conscious, please answer! Your injuries must be treated, and I assure you, you needn't worry about the cost. I'll cover that!"

Cover that his ass. He decided to bide his time, hand on the dagger at his hip. And the second the branches were brushed aside, and his eyes met to the woman's- they'd notice a flash, and the man stood forward, dagger placed towards her gut.

"You'd do well to stay right where you are," Khanna growled, a hand over the wound that was dripping hot with blood.

Qiana froze and lifted her hands, palms up to show she was unarmed. But though she went very still, there was no real fear in her eyes; just concern for the man who was losing too much blood too fast from her arrow.

"You'd do well to stop being such a stubborn goat. Do you have anyone nearby? Anyone who can help you? Because you're not going to get far like that."

"Says a lady who rides alone," he bit back. His grip on the dagger never lessened. Why did this woman's face look so familiar? He knew there was something he should know about this woman, but the blood loss was making him more light headed than he wanted to admit. "Who says I travel alone?"

Who says I do? Qiana wanted to shoot back, but the aim here was to calm him, not further spook him. That would only get his blood pumping faster--and possibly get her stabbed. Nobody won, then.

She took a risk and took a slow step toward him, hands still raised. Kia, her retainers would murder her themselves if they saw her now! She was risking not only her life here, she realized with a sudden jolt. But she was a daughter of Featherfall, and they were no wilting lilies.

"You're going to bleed out like this," she said calmly. "Let me at least help you bind it."

Pride ran thickly though his blood. He'd rather die or spit in her face before taking the offered help. But he was still mortal, and the wound only reminded him of these faults. And if he were to accept help, he'd feel much less a man that he ever was, so he didn't dare lower his weapon.

"I can bind it. Leave your gauze and any ointment, then be clear of these woods," he growled his command. He didn't have much time to keep this up, but if Khanna Dey were to die, he'd die on his terms, and he knew it couldn't be today.

"Its either that or I'll gut you and take it and leave you here to rot in my place."

She couldn't risk her unborn child. And maybe, like a wounded animal, frightened and hurt, he would strike and injure her. Qiana frowned, covering her belly with a hand, and took a deep breath. Either way, they were getting nowhere here, and he was still losing far too much blood.

"Very well. Wait there, and I'll--"

"Your Majesty! Are you alright?"

Qiana winced, having not wanted to scare him even more, but it was too late, and soon came the sounds of hooves pounding on soil as two of her huntsmen came riding up to the thicket.

The sound of men approaching had Khanna slinking back further in the rough. But the shock of just who they addressed the woman as wasn't lost on him. But he was beyond stunned, and quickly it turned to shame. How could he not know the queen? A quick look over and even he knew it now-

And before he could think of anything better, he lunged at her, grabbing the woman by her hair and pressed a blade quick to her throat as he used whatever strength he had left to support them both.

"Back the fuck away or I'll carve more than her throat out," he threatened, even as his own side was bleeding too much.

The men were helpless to prevent the horror from playing out before them, and helpless to intervene now. The lead huntsman made a sound of protest and reached for an arrow, but Qiana held up both hands.

"Don't!" she gasped out, still as a fawn hiding in the grass. The blade was sharp; even that small movement nicked her, and she didn't want to test him. Scared men could do absurd things. Like murder a queen, even injured and outnumbered with no chance of escaping his crime.

"Do as he says. Give us space."

The men exchanged nervous glances, then backed away, though their fingers still twitched for their weapons and their faces showed their helpless frustration.

Qiana relaxed a little as they moved away, though she was still tense, her blood singing in her ears. She always fancied herself a brave woman, strong; Featherfall bred tough, hardy people. Yet she was surprised at just how calm she felt even then, held at knife point by a panicked man. But perhaps she felt so calm because she knew they had a time limit here. All she had to do was outlast him.

She hadn't wanted it to come to this.

She drew in a slow breath. "You're afraid, and I understand that," she said. "But it doesn't have to come to this. You don't look the sort that would hurt an unarmed woman and her unborn child."

The man in black released a low, heated breath through his nostrils. Keeping the knife close, and his grip tight, he found himself growling at her query.
"How the fuck would you know that? You don't know me," he growled.

Great, he had a god damn pregnant royal to deal with and his fingers were itching for blood. This was a corner he couldn't get out of. Stabbing the bitch or not wouldn't resolve anything; and as much as he'd love to jam the blade right into her damned belly, he chose to instead, shove the damn woman infront of him,but kept a firm hold on his weapon.

"Send them off!" he snarled. "Send all your fucking men off."
