    Ely declines the cigar, and glances about casually, while whispering back to Butch. "I'm pretty quick, but I cannot outrun a horse if they decide to give chase...Do what you think best, but don't underestimate my capability to take care of myself, and get yourself in trouble trying to get me out of a jam I'm capable of getting myself out of. I guess what I'm saying is: use your judgement. If anyone else looks to need your help more than I do, let me worry about my own bony butt." She gives him a half smile. "You're right, though. I think diplomacy is our best bet here."

    In his imagainations, butch were halfway to a nearby hill when finally Sir Monternieu arrives back. He's quite embarassed, as you can tell from his face.

    "Sure you said Nero? Marcuus Nero? In that case I cannot tell you anything but you are asked to come with me."

    The young knight leads you to a large tent. Once inside, he turns to Marcuus.

    "Our lord declared that you should wait here for some time. He decided so, better acknowledge it. Please do not leave the tent without permission."

    (Assuming that all of us are in the tent)

    Ely sits down, eyeing the tent flap nervously. She turns to Marcuus. "Would these people know you? Or your father? Do you think they'll respect your station?"

    Butch’s face remains as calm and easygoing as always but quick puffs of smoke coming from his cigar betray his agitation as they are lead into the tent.

    Is yer Pappy lookin’ fer ya Marcuus? If so, we might all be in a stew o’ trouble. Especially iffin he decides we are responcible fer ya leavin’ or that we need ta be enslaved…

    Marcuus nods at Butch, "Sadly I fear you may be correct, these people have a good enough relationship with the Empire to respect us but the question of where I have been these past few months and my reasoning for leaving Seton might be of importance to them. I fear someone might be looking for me, but there is no reason for any of you to stand with me if that is the case, in fact I'd prefer if you all tried to get away if that's what it comes down to." Marcuus looks to the tent flap with a worried face wondering what he has gotten himself and his friends into.

    Krahl

    Once out of sight inside the tent Krahl relaxes a bit. His anger at the original band of soldiers changed to worry and even fear (though he doesn't show it) when they come to the army camp. He knows full well that they would not stand a chance against so many warriors.

    Krahl listens to Marcuus slightly confused by what is going on. "Krahl leave not tribe. Krahl no let any human harm friend Marcuus."

    Ely looks at Marcuus. "Krahl is right. You would never abandon any of us if it came to that, why do you want us to do any less?" She settles again on the floor, with a determined look on her face.

    The young knight comes back after several hours. He asks you to follow him outside. This is already night time, and as you follow the knight, you can see a small group of knights next to a campfire, and Sir Monternieu leads you to there.

    "This is the one who called himself Nero?"

    "Yes Sire, he is."

    "And is he truly, Richard?"

    A tall, balck-haired Setonian warrior steps forward, whom Marcuus reckognizes as his uncle, Richard Nero. He is married to a Highplainer noblewoman.

    He looks at Marcuus for half a moment and says:

    "No, he's not. He's just an imposteur."

    "Are you sure, Richard?"

    "I am sure, now chase them away, I have better things to do."

    Marcuus' face turns slightly dour as he hears his own uncle's voice say that he was not who he claimed to be, "Do you not recognize the son of your own brother? The son of General Edward Nero, I bear my father's face so well people have thought me him in other parts of the world! It is not as if you have not seen me as of late, perhaps it is that my face is dirty from travel but that should not make you forget what you see in my eyes Uncle." Marcuus steps further into the light, right before the knights, and he fully drops the cloak, bearing no arms his Seton Blues are there and he holds his symbol aloft, "Uncle, you yourself brought me to the temples for the first time where I felt the pull of the great star Trithereon! You have been there as I grew and you dare now to turn me away? Is it because of who my companions are, do you disapprove of them because they are not from Seton? Would you turn out your own blood for the company he keeps?" He stares into the sky, making connections among the stars with his eyes and murmuring a prayer as he stares directly at Richard Nero, "What is it that you want from me Uncle? What did I do to deserve your disdain?

    The man looks at Marcuus, witha strange face.

    "My lord, this man is clealy mad. I don't know how he knows much about the son of my brother, but he's clearly just a poor, mentally unstable kid. Just a poor idiot. Chase him away, but do not hurt him. It brings bad fate to hurt an idiot."

    With this said, the warriors start pushing you outside the camp.

    Marcuus, shoves his way past the men and stares right into the eyes of his uncle in a flat monotonous voice he says to him, "I was there when your son was born, I am his Godfather and yet still you deny that I am who I say? I was at your wedding, I remember how you got nervous that day and my father had to calm you down, I was young then but I still remember Uncle. Don't have your guards escort me out, I will leave myself if you truly wish to throw away your own blood." As the guards move in to push him again he shoves them off and begins a solid march away, if no one moves to do anything he will stand with eyes locked on his uncle.

    Listen boyo, I think yer uncle is doin’ ya a favor. Iffin he WERE ta say ya were his nephew and yer pappy had a reward out fer ya t a be brought back ta Seton, what do ya think would happen? I think these “Knights” here would bundle ya up and send ya off, no matter WHAT yer uncle said, I am guessin’ there is good money fer the fella that returns ya and there aint nuthin’ a lord needs more durin’ a war than money.

    Just play it nice and quiet like and stop tryin’ ta convince these fellas that yer worth money ta them as ransom and I think we might jist get outta here with our hides intact.

    Marcuus whispers very quickly, "I left of my own free will, I was more of a shame to my father and mother than anything else. I have a worse feeling about this though..." Marcuus begins to study his supposed uncle.

    Marcuus looks at his uncle, who he realizes, is clearly his uncle, not an imposteur. But then, the warriors finally push you out of the camp. You stand between the camp and the forest now, and have a bad feeling about venturing back to the heart of the Highplainer army.

    "Let's just leave while we still have the chance...Jisika has even more hours on us now. We can investigate this further after we've found her and escorted her safely home. Agreed?" Ely climbs her mule again, checking to see if all her things are still in place.

    Krahl pats Marcuus's shoulder a sad look upon his face. "Rejection of blood kin hurt more bad than sword. Krahl know. Blood kin of Marcuus need not friend Marcuus." Krahl lowers his head and pauses for a moment before continueing sorrow clear in his voice, "Tribe need friend Marcuus."

    Krahl pauses, nods, and shuffles off to wait for the others. My family doesn't need me anymore. My new tribe does. With one dead already and another fled... I must be better!

    You agree in that it wouldn't be wise to stay near this camp for the night, so you go bakc, trying to find your previous path. The sun starts to rise when you find a familiar scenery, but since you haven't slept for a while you are very tired now. You could rest, but then you could only continue your junrey a little before dusk, or go forward, in a relatively hot trail of Jisika, but having the risk of travelling fatigued.

    We sure as pete aint gonna find that little slip o’ our little runaway by blunderin’ of the side o’ a cliff in the dark or breakin’ one o’ our mules legs. Now, who is pullin’ the first watch?

    Nodding in agreement removes two cigars from his vest and lights one up in the remains of the campfire. Puffing slowly he addresses Ely and the others while offering the slender elf a cigar.

    Sounds as good a plan as any. We certainly aint gonna find her just sittin’ here. Lets get a move on.
