"Yes, right." Vyncent said, standing up. His whole expression changed. "Is something wrong, father?" Laura asked, somewhat formally. "It shouldn't be. Come along." "You want me to?" "Sure. Come on." Vycent said. He started to the door and Laura jumped up to follow him. She looked hopelessly at Markus, who just shrugged. "You don't have to worry about me, Anella." Raythor said absently. He looked up to see Rose tramping down the stairs and looking grouchy. "Raythor, you stupid moron, why are you eating enough for three people?" Rose demanded. "Because I'm malnurished. Laura told me so." "Laura?" Rose said, looking suspiciously at Anella.

"We both did." Anella said, blushing "L-lets go see who's here.." She got up and quickly walked towards the door. Her father fallowed more slowly.

"Take some food with you." Rose said sarcastically to Raythor. He rolled his eyes and trailed after her, sighing heavily.

(my computer just had a brain annurism) Anella stopped suddenly in the grand hall. There was a group of men standing there, and the one who seemed to be the leader was talking to Vyncent. "My name is Davon Porthe." he said quickly and harshly "My men and I are a group from...somewhere." he said glancing at Rea who had just come in, and Markus. "We are asking for food and shelter for a night or two, we swear we are legitimate."

(Well that explains a lot.) "Hmm..." Vyncent said, considering. He glanced back at his daughter, whose brow was furrowed. "I suppose I can see no harm in that. You'll understand if I keep a watch up at night?" "Better make it a good one." Raythor whispered, and Markus nodded. "Yes, when he saw Rea and I he said 'somewhere'. Obviously he doesn't want to be associated with Carina or Everglade. Not a good sign." "Isn't Vyncent like a war lord or something? I'm sure he knows what he's doing." Rose added in.

(frick, it's morning, I'll have to do a time jump) "Of course." Davon said, his voice still hard. He scanned the room quickly, sizing everyone up. Nothing extraordinary. "Would it be too bold to ask for food now?We have not eaten for a long time." "There is plenty of food left in the dining hall." Anella said softly. He stared at her stonily and she blushed bright red.

(I <3 time jumps) "We do have plenty to spare." Vyncent said evenly. He was making eye contact with his guards, and Laura was almost positive there was some unspoken communication between them. Rose was watching Raythor, who was giving the newcomer a death glare. She wondered why.

The man looked away from Anella and at Vyncent. "If you wish we can give you all our weapons before we proceede, but quickly if you don't mind, I'm quite famished."

"Oh." Vycent said, surprised. "A fine idea. Jarrod, hold on to their weapons for them." "Of course." The soldier said. He stepped forward readily, noting that Vyncent had relaxed his vigilance slightly.

Davon sighed. He pulled out a broudsword, and one much shorter from his other side. He slung a bow and arrows over his shoulders, and pulled a axe from where it was attached to his back, then he proceded to pull out a number of daggers from various places. When he was done he stood there and waited, looking bored.His men proceeded to do the same. Anella looked nervously at the pile of weapons that was steadily growing.

Vyncent looked mildly surprised. "Well... quite an array there, I should say. Uh... go ahead and eat." "He just out daggered you." Rose said. "I don't care." Raythor said. "Aw, really?" "What, did you want to me to say 'no one out daggers Raythor Karian' and have an epic battle with him?" He asked. "Kinda." "I mean.... Raythor Carpenter. Whoops. Forgot my own name."

Anella smiled a little and watched the group of men trudge towards the dining hall. Remebering that she hadn't acctually eaten yet she decided to try to get some food before it was consumed completely. She scurried after them, and her father fallowed, once again more slowly.

"You're an idiot, mister Carpenter." Rose said, walking next to Raythor. They were just behind Vyncent and Laura. Markus was bringing up the rear, with the guards. "Sure am." The dark haired boy said absently.

The men had already sat down and begun to eat brutally. Anella managed to grab an apple and a slice of bread before being to afraid to approach. She wondered how long it had been since they had eaten. She hated the way their leader would just stare at her anytime she came near him or his men. Her father wasn't so sure about this bunch eaither, and kept a close watch by the door.

"I don't like them." Raythor said. "You don't like life." Rose scoffed. "Regardless." He flicked his eyes on Vyncent, who still seemed concerned. Markus was still hanging around with the guards, and his mouth moved occasionally. Laura didn't seem to know what to do.
