"Let's get away from here first," the face under the mop of hair grinned, grasping the hand Lucy didn't already have a hold of. The two pulled Kel into a speed walk away from the man who was still grimacing in pain.
As the Seven Lions Inn grew farther away, Kel noticed a familiar red and white mask disappearing into a side street near the building. Had that man been watching this time as well?
She tried to tug her hands free of her two captors, but they remained clamped firmly around her wrists. With a sigh, she gave up on going after the masked man and allowed them to yank her down the street.
When they finally came to a halt, Lucy and the newcomer began arguing.
"I can't believe you let that horrible man bother her for so long, Sir Thane!!" the maid grumbled to the strawberry-blonde knight.
"You told me not to show myself unless the situation was desperate!" Thane quipped back defensively.
