"Ah, yes, leniency before an inevitable hanging would be quite helpful, I'm sure," Gherrick said, in good humor, though he was evidently mocking the idea. Then again, he spoke in the same tone all the time, ever playful was this particular magely thief. Though as they walked on, he had to wonder where on earth she was taking him, and at the sight of the unruly fellows at the end of the alley, he paused, blinking and quirked a brow.

"So.. um... are these friends of yours?" he asked playfully as he leaned towards Beatrid, but truthfully, even he was nervous. He could take on a number of men, but these men were significantly rougher, buffer and a lot more armed than he was. And well, he was also tied, and tied with his hands behind his back no less as he gave a bit of a worry pout at their ever increasing dangerous situation, considering each of the men began to pull out weapons, one even had a gun.

"They fuckin' look like any friends of mine?" Beatrid growled, shoving the mage behind her and drawing her sword again. This...did not look good, to say the very least. She took a step backwards and brought her sword up into a defensive stance. "I should be asking you. You're the damned thief."

"Tha' th' mage erryone been hollerin' 'bout?" one of the ruffians said, a hungry glint in his eye. The group was lumbering closer with the sort of confidence that only a pack of criminals with nothing else to lose and everything to gain could afford, cocky in the knowledge that they had them outnumbered.

And if one of them had a gun--well, shit. They were fucked. They were slow weapons, clunky, and took forever to load, which was why Beatrid far preferred the power and fluidity of a good sword, but once they were loaded one good shot was all it took, and unlike a sword, there was no blocking a bullet. She had to think about this here; one foolish move and it was over.

"Is he?" Beatrid said, shifting her body to the side provide a smaller target--and conceal the crown, though she knew it was too late. "What of it?"

"Well, we was thinkin', there must be a hefty bounty on his head, eh?"

Gherrick only shrugged at her sarcastic comment, remaining silent as Beatrid stood in front, sword at the ready. Though as the men went on, asking who Gherrick was, he only gave a boyish grin and agreed with their last statement, "Why yes, he does have a high bounty on his head. He's pretty famous, from what I know. Traveling across the seas, all over Allar, through other large cities...  and he might even be here in Reajh as we speak!" Gherrick's grin reached his ear as the men merely stared at him, blinkingly as he went on. "It would be quite a tantalizing bounty to consider. He's got piracy under his belt, thieving.. and most of the rewards come from the high lords and duke's themselves in want to be rid of such a pest. It would be a lot of gold. Several pounds of it from varying lords, if I remember correctly."

Beatrid bit back a curse as the idiot prattled off, and if they hadn't already had those thugs' full attention (which they certainly had!), then they certainly had their interest now. With a hissed breath through her teeth, Beatrid turned swiftly and slammed the pommel of her sword hard into Gherrick's gut. "Shut up, you imbecilic moron!"

But it was too late. The damage was already done. Those men were staring at them hungrily like wolves sizing up a herd to pick out the sick, old, and injured, and Beatrid tensed in preparation for the inevitable attack.

And then it happened.

There were five men, and they rushed them then, knives, clubs, and gun drawn and ready. Pushing Gherrick out of the way, Beatrid lunged into motion, blocking a knife thrust from one man and landing a hard downward kick to his knee before whirling to slice a club cleanly in half. Fuck, fuck, where was the one with the gun? That was the one she was most concerned with, but as another man came at her from behind with a dagger, she had no time to locate him, forced again to twist and parry before it landed in her kidneys.

Well, he expected chaos, but not chaos happening this quick. Nor did he expect the men to be so.. dastardly. They were all upon the woman within minutes. Play time was over. He had spent enough time in ropes, but before he had the chance to whisper the incarnations to summon a fire to burn them, the man with the gun approached him, pointing it right at his head.

"Don't move or I'll blow your pretty little head off!" the man demanded.

Gherrick blinked.

"I sort of like my head where it is!" he exclaimed. "And surely you must realize I'm worth nearly triple if you bring me back alive!"

And as the man was staring at Gherrick incredulously, the 'thief' was working at getting his own weapon, his boot finding it  as he gave it a heavy kick- unfortunately for him, it simply rolled towards the gunman, who looked down-
but that was enough, Gherrick used that moment to duck and ran full force into the man, slamming him into the wall as the gun went off with a bang.

Things swiftly went from bad to worse when Beatrid heard one of the men shout a threat to Gherrick.

Beatrid made a mistake then; she turned to look, just in time to see Gherrick ram himself into one of the thugs.

A gun went off, the sound sending a chill down her spine.

It was the last sound she heard.

It all happened in the span of seconds, but that was all it took. One distraction, one wrong move, was all the time needed for one of those men to slam his fist into the side of her head and knock her down cold. It was such a rookie mistake, such a stupid mistake, and she should have known better--and would hate herself when she came to again.

But right then she crumpled to the ground in a heap, and the thugs stepped over her and turned their full attention to Gherrick, coming up behind him. The one pressed against the wall abruptly stopped his struggling and grinned a wicked grin, peering over Gherrick's shoulder.

"Might wanna look behind ya, mate."

When the gun went off, thankfully no one had gotten shot...or killed.
But when he heard Beatrid grow silent, and the footsteps behind him, he breathed out a curse, and something else as he kept his head lowered in silent prayer to his goddess. Not even a second later, the jewels beneath his flesh lit up, glowing gold, and runes of the same color flashed across his skin, the symbols seeming to come out of now where. Even the whites in his eyes were consumed in the glow as he tossed his head back, spoke another word in his language, and lightning coursed across his body, surging off of his skin. The magic leapt out, striking from one man to another in an explosive array of power, sending all of the men away from the still bound mage in a powerful burst.

As the runes and bright light faded, Gherrick blinked and turned around, spotting Beatrid on the floor. He struggled against the ropes, trying to loosen them to get his hands free, but ended up having to use Beatrid's fallen blade to cut them. As the ropes fell away, he dropped to his knee at her side, turning her over to ensure she hadn't been shot by the gun,a nd sighed when he realized she was breathing and ok.

"Looks like she probably just got a nasty bump to her head," he whispered, and upon hearing one of hte men begin to awake, he worked fast, hefting his bow staff (and the crown) onto his back, while cradling the unconscious Beatrid in his arms. He didn't know where he was going, but he had to get her somewhere safe and off the streets. Going back the way they came might be foolish, but so would going deeper into the slums. Either way was like going into a lion's den. ANd should he take her to the soldiers on guard, or wait and hole off with her somewhere until she awakens to ensure she might not need some treatment? He could heal her after all, mordecai or not. He made a quick decision, spotting a sewer grate nearby and slipped it open with a boot.
It didn't smell all too ground down there, but down here, no one was sure to bother them. But then as he landed down below, his boots meeting with a splash in the slimy green waters, he made a face.

He'd need a bath after all of this was said and done. But he pressed onward, carrying Beatrid until he found a small area beneath the grates on a more active street int he center of town. Above them the world was lively, music even carrying down into the sewers they were hiding in. He set Beatrid down upon a high rise of cobblestone, and sat beside her, working idly to clean off his boots of the sewer muck before glancing her over to see if she was ok. But as he did it, some lovely citizen dropped a dirty banana peel into the grate and it landed on his head. Startled, he shrugged it off, only for the peel to land upon Beatrid's face.

"What the...?"

Beatrid had been slowly starting to come to, but it was the slimy peel landing on her face that had her clawing her way back up to consciousness. Her head was pounding something fierce--and God have mercy, why did it smell like shit? Her stomach recoiled and with a groan she reached a hand up and felt along her face, her innards twisting as her fingers touched something slimy.

"Ugh..." She cracked an eye open as she peeled the banana peel from her face, expression twisting in revulsion. A banana peel? A fucking banana peel? Where the hell...?

Another breath of air brought with it the ripe scent of the sewer and that was it. With her head swimming and the sewer smells all around her and a slimy, gross banana peel in her hand, it was all too much. That was when she lost it. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. She still had no idea what had happened or where she was, but she had no time to look around and examine her surroundings because the call of nature was far stronger.

Pitching forward with her head between her knees, she noisily emptied the contents of her belly all over the cobblestones, and didn't stop until she was dry heaving.

Gherrick wasn't a fan of the stench either, but the desire to keep his skin had lent him enough strength to ignore the smell..
for now. Mouth breathing helped too, but then at times he could taste it, and well..
it just wasn't pretty.
WHen she grew sick, it took some effort for him not to join her, a curled wrist was held against his lips as he turned away. He waited until she was done before muttering, "Er.. sorry. I had to think of a place to get us so we'd be safe from those men." And from soldiers, but he hoped that wouldn't be too obvious (though naturally, both sides of the fence played a danger now). Friends were in awkward places. But it was those people he sought to help. It's why he so stubbornly clung to the crown that now resided on his bow staff that was still slung over his back. He slipped a hand into his pocket, pulling out a white kerchief and held it out to her.

"Here, it might smell like me, but I hope I smell better than sewer scum. Use it to stifle some of the smell. It might help." he gave her a smile, but it was hesitant. He knew she'd be in a most foul mood anyways, so he didn't want to sound TOO sweet when dealing with her.

Beatrid snatched the kerchief from his hand and wiped her mouth off on it, then folded it and covered her mouth and nose. In that moment, she was far too ill and unbalanced to resist the offer--though her mind was clear enough to wonder over the gesture. Hell, not even that gesture--all of it. As she slowly came back to herself, so too came the memories of the fight.

Something had gone very wrong, and now...

She glanced sidelong at Gherrick, expression mostly hidden behind the kerchief, though her eyebrows had climbed. "You rescued me?" she asked, voice muffled. "Are ya fuckin' insane? Why?"

Gherrick stared down at her and blinked.
"Uh, because you needed help? And it wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me to just leave you behind," he matter of factly pointed out. "The slums are no place for a lady. Especially one unconscious. And well..." he rubbed at the back of his head, turning away with a sheepish expression. "I couldn't go back to the guards. I wasn't exactly gung ho over the idea of being taken into the authorities just yet." His blue eyes went back to her, studying her. "And how are you anyways? You took quite a blow to the head."

Beatrid continued to stare, eyebrows climbing even higher. She couldn't believe that. He could have left her there, rid himself of a big problem; he could have disappeared and to hell with her. He had no reason to care about her! He was a mage! She was leading him to his death! She had been nothing but nasty to him!

And here he was, giving her his kerchief, asking how she was, like they were just two chums in a sewer.

Something about it was utterly infuriating.

Namely, the part where he was too nice. It was easier when they were angry and bitter and violent!

It was easier when she could imagine them as something not quite human.

She looked away from him and scowled down at the muck.

"I'm fine," she growled, though her head was throbbing and she still felt unbalanced. Then she looked back over at him, eyes narrowed. "Why the hell are you being so nice?"

Gherrick could sense her frustration, so at her question, he simply blinked.
"Why not? I have no reason to be unkind to you. You're merely doing your job. I couldn't criticize you for that. So it's not right to hold it against you." He appeared as if he might shrug, but he didn't, simply studying her, though at a distant. It seemed she was ok, but then again, she seemed prideful. She might not admit it to him if she were not.

With a frustrated sound, Beatrid threw up her hands--and instantly regretted it as she got a good whiff of sewer when she did so. Going a little green, she clapped the kerchief to her nose again.

"Well, don't you get to thinking this whole kill 'em with kindness thing is working. I still got a job to do and I intend to see it through." She looked at him, gaze steady. She was nothing if not honest, and she wanted to be sure they were on the same page. "Though it wouldn't hurt if you started acting like a fucking pirate thief or whatever the hell you are. You're too forgiving."

That sounded ridiculous even to her ears, but this kindness was uncomfortable.

Gherrick shrugged.
"I'm aware you've got a job to do. I won't hold it personal. Besides, the second I know your'e ok, perhaps we can resume our chase?" he said, giving her a boyish grin. "Besides, it would only be fair, though I most certainly will not cause you any trouble while you're still in erm.. distress."
Though even he was feeling nauseous. "Though perhaps we erm.. ought to take this to the surface? I think we're beneath safer streets by now." He said, peering up at the noise and hustle and bustle of the bazarre above. Yes, it definitely did not sound like the slums.

Beatrid couldn't help it. Beneath the kerchief, the corner of her mouth twitched, but she quickly pressed her lips together. "Huh. Well aren't you a good sport?" she said, and looked away again, that feeling of discomfort increasing in a nauseous sort of way that had nothing to do with the sewers.

This was dangerous, and she had to remember herself here, remember who he was, what he was. They needed to get back to that whole headache of chasing and arresting and him being nothing more than a dangerous, faceless criminal that needed to be brought to justice for the safety of them all. He was too close right now, too human, too...

Too much like an old friend she'd long since lost.

Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Her brains had been rattled more than she'd thought.

With a low groan, she pushed herself to her feet and braced herself against the wall as the world pitched and tilted, breathing heavily with the effort. She closed her eyes and let her head hang between her shoulders as she waited for it to stop. "I'll wager that's the best idea you've had all day," she muttered, swallowing back another wave of nausea--this time because of the sewers--and giving him a wry look.

Then another thought struck her--or rather, it finally came to her after slowly working its way through her sluggish, addled thoughts. Instinctively, she reached for her belt. "Where's my sword?"

Gherrick had been giving her a friendly smirk. He might as well keep himself warm towards her, there was still no reason for hate (you know, despite the fact she was totally willing to hand him over to get hanged. Minor details, really!) But when she asked for her sword, he blinked.

"Oh, erm.." he scratched at the side of his nose. "I must admit, it seems I must've forgotten it when I brought us here. Though ha! Erm, I didn't forget my own weapons. So if you'd like, I could go back there and get it. You'd be safer to stay here. Plus, it would be horrible if some child were to come upon it and accidently cut himself, thinking it's cool to play with swords." Though that was unlikely, considering she had dropped it in the slums, he didn't want her to risk getting hurt again when she was unarmed. Even if he were to become unarmed, he was pretty nimble, especially in means of escape and wit..

Oh, yeah..
He also had magic, too.

"What." More bewildered staring. Beatrid's mouth dropped open, and she instantly regretted it when she got a mouthful of sewer air.

"You...are you fuckin' serious? You'd go back to the slums, pick up my sword, bring it back and...and give it to me?" She didn't understand him. She didn't understand him at all! She couldn't tell anymore of he was just that stupid--unlikely, for there was cunning in those eyes and he was a criminal who had been at large for quite some time--or just that foolishly naive! Or, worse, just naturally big-hearted.

Or, you know, trying to lure her into some sort of false sense of security, though she couldn't wrap her head around what he could possibly gain from that. He could have rid himself of her long ago! No need to drag it out!

And he'd even brought up her safety!

Beatrid pinched the bridge of her nose as a headache began to throb between her eyes. "You're insane."

Gherrick blinked, then shrugged, before giving her a smirk.
"I suppose some call it insanity, but I don't have qualms with you, so there really is no reason not to get you back your property. Just stay here. It won't take me long. I mean, unless you want to tag along. I does smell awful here. But I shouldn't be too long in retrieving it. Then we can head up to a much safer part of the city."

"Let's just get outta this damned sewer," Beatrid said with a sigh, and tilted her head back to look at the grate above, though she regretted the motion when it threw off her still wobbly balance. She stumbled, bumping into Gherrick, and flinched away from him as though merely touching him stung. Goddammit. She must have taken a good hit to the head if she was still dizzy.

She leaned against the wall. "Ugh, after you."
