OOC: If my actions are not ok, I will rewrite my post- but Zannrick is terrible, and does not take sass from no stinky mage! Naturally, consequences :|

If Solita thought she was angry, nothing fueled the true fires of hate than a mage speaking out against a Knight of the Grand Duke, and one of the spear heads of the demising destiny of mages. So when she dare proved herself against him, he back handed her quicker than lightning. As she toppled over, Killian was late to catch her, but dropped to his knees as he exclaimed, "Solita!"
"Keep your tongue, mage! You could hang for less!" and his voice roared and shook the room and as he moved forward, as if to strike the girl again, General Serenus's arm came down on the man's shoulder.
"You might be in a position near to the Grand Duke, but do not forget you are in my military base," the General reminded- and the point made Zannrick steel himself, but hte fiery rage was still evident within his ice blue eyes.
"She might be in your camp, General, but a mage is a mage, and her innocence is a matter of the church." Here, he glared at Serenus as he tossed his cape over his shoulder. "If you don't keep her in line, I will. I wouldn't cry if I had to leave you with a healing mage mute. It would only help our cause."
"Zannrick, your courtesy surprises me," The General said with a laugh. "Though I suspect you won't be laying another finger on the girl. After all, she agreed to heal the wounded, which is more than I can say for you. When is the last time you've gone off to battle?"
Zannrick shot a glare at Serenus.
"Do you dare challenge my place, Serenus?"
The General grinned.
"Not at all, just your manners. But really, there is no threat here when a woman saves lives. Save your hate for those who really need it."
"I can see taht I already have," Zannrick spoke between his teeth before he bowed rigidly to Serenus and left, and the room grew awkwardly quiet.
"S-Serenus... Will... Will that man be back to see Solita again?" Killian's words came out more shaky than he would have liked as he held onto the girl, keeping her close.
"Yes.. I think he might. But next time, we'll just have to be more prepared." Turnign to Killian he looke the man over. "Return tot he barracks and leave the girl with me. We don't need any rumors spreading. You can join her again come dinner time." And then noting the blood trickling from the girl's nose, Serenus reached into his pocket and drew out a kerchief and offered it to them. "Here.. for the bleeding."
