Sergey looked at the woman but could not fathom her intentions. But in any case, he was not in a talking mood. His reply was plain and simple: 'Because.'

Mae's jaw drops and she drops her braid. "How in the world does Because answer all of those questions? Don't you want to get to know your fellow party members? Do you have any questions for me?" She smiled gently tucking a stray hair behind her ear.

'No, and I have gone through some amount of trouble to make that clear to you people.' With that Sergey stood. 'Now unless you have something more interesting to say, please leave me alone.'

Kraft was getting nervous. Mae must come up with something more than that to keep Sergey's attention.
Okay, I'll just use this window, jump out and HOPE that Mae will keep them busy.
Kraft blocked the door leading the hall with a chair and gently opened the window. He made sure he didn't make a sound. Quickly he jumped out and fell in the dust and rolled a few times. Luckely for him there weren't too many people on the streets. He quickly got off and started running.
First I have to find Kraul and Jark and make sure that they still have this servant as a hostage. Than I'll send one of them to guard the house. Probably Jark. Okay. Be cool, Kraft, you can handle this.
Kraft stopped running and entered an alley nearby and knocked on the door 3 times. Kraul opened.
"Yar Boss? Yer gettin' the servant back?"
"No, not yet, Kraul. I need you to guard him a little longer and let Jark guard the house. You know, the manor. If the party gets out than try to slow them down if I'm not with them. I don't care how. Here's some money in case you'll need... err... equipment''.
"Consider it done Boss."
Kraft took off and went to the castle. As fast as he could. Which wasn't very fast since alcohol doesn't do your body a lot of good. He hoped this wouldn't take too long.
(Ooc: Let's say he has done all this in about 25 min.)

Mae glared at the man and stood as well. "Being the world's biggest pain just to make people not like you. Just so you can be alone. Just so you don't have to worry about getting hurt. Isn't the best plan! You can be nice to people and still not get hurt. Or get hurt that's life. So get off your stinking "I'm so tough I don't need anybody" pillar already because it's making me want to vomit." She basically ended up yelling by the end of her lovely little rant fists clenched at each of her sides. Jacques came running down the stairs at this point wrapped in only a towel around the waist soap sticking to his hair. "What? Mae, uh, what are you, uh, screaming about,uh, now? Did someone, uh, breathe on you?" Jacques calls down. "Shut up you girl! And go back upstairs and rinse out the perfume water from your hair!" "I'm not a girl!" Jacques screamed, much like a girl, and ran up the stairs.Mae turns back to Sergey still fuming in a very unlady-like manner.

Sergey was not impressed. 'I am who I want to be and there is nothing an elitist Ertrurian is going to do about. And if you don't like it, walk away.'

"Elitist? Who's an elitist? Are you calling me an elitist? Do you like being alone?" She crossed her arms across her chest trying to think of something to keep him from finding out Kraft was gone. "What would you do if I hit you? Like went all crazy on you and hit you a million times? Would you hit me back? Or would you just stop me?" She rose her eyebrows in question waiting for the answer.

Sergey balled his fist. 'Be my guest, come find out.'

Mae glanced at his fists and knew the answer or at least guessed it. "You'd really hit a girl? A whimpy looking girl like me? Really?" She shook her head and started to walk off. "Men really are pathetic creatures."

Puffing and wheezing Kraft arrived at the castle entrance.
"Quick, I must speak to the castle lord, it's very vital information... captain!" he said while talking to a mere guard.
"Please general, let me through! I must have an audience with the lord! I beg you!" Kraft realised he didn't have too much time so he had to act quickly. The guard was just looking amused and not listening to Kraft his compliments.
He's just as bad as me. Bribing time I guess.
"I'll buy you a pint or two if you let me in." Kraft said quickly, while putting on his 'hey I'm really serious' face.
"Now you're talking. I'll let you in. But the lord doesn't has much time, so it better be important."
Kraft was surprised he got in so easily. After a short walk through the castle and being directed to the place where the castle lord was he arrived at the doors. But than he noticed there was a huge queue in front of the doors.
I don't have time for this... D**n! D**n, D**n! They'll find out, what do I have to, what... okay, screw this, I'm going with violence.
Kraft pulled out his sword and started running towards the man standing in front of the door. "Out of my way Fools! I must speak to t-the Lord!" Kraft was losing his cool an really wanted to deal with this as fast as possible.
A few guards noticed Kraft waving with a sword and yelled:
"PUT THAT DOWN CITIZEN! NO WEAPONS ARE ALLOWED HERE!" The crowd was murmuring (what they let him in without checking him for weapons?) (what a fool) (A lunatic! Where dead!) (aaah)
Panic was starting. The guards were closing in on Kraft. The people where backing away while pointing and looking at that silly man, who looked like a mad dog.
"I MUST SPEAK TO THE LORD!!" Kraft yelled!
And then the guards leaped forward and Kraft fell down on his knees.
"B-b-blood?" He said, while touching his forhead.
"That's no --- umph."
A guard stomped him in the stomach.
"Let's get this over with."

Mae leaned against a wall staring out of a window toward the back of the house. Arms crossed she blew a stray strand of hair out of her face. "This is stupid. Why am I even here? Curiosity? Idiot..." Rubbing her left eye she found a back door probably often used by the staff and into the yard behind the mansion. Making sure no one was about she began some simple training exercises. They were a bit difficult in a dress but she managed. Training did her good, eased the anger from earlier, and the fear that Kraft might be found out. He better get back here soon... She continued to do the exercises simple kicks, punches and other fighting techniques.

"He's waking up, my lord."
"It's about time. I'll handle it from here."
Kraft opened his eyes and tried to touch his head but felt his hands were cuffed.
No. No no... This has gone horribly wrong.
"I am the Marquess. You could call me the leadster of this castle. Who are you and WHY were you holding that sword?"
"W-where am I? ... What? Marquess!" Kraft looked and added in surprise; "You're a woman?"
She sighed. "Yes. Answer my question. Pig."
"Ah, my lady, you... it's like... listen. There is this group of people who is planning on killing or eliminating St. Elimine. Well, something like that. Currently I'm with them and well... I just... I thought it would be smart to inform you..."
"Are you telling the truth peasant?"
"Yes! Yes I swear! I swear it by St. Elimine! P-please your highness, your fairness! Please!"
Mmm. I heard of a group who tried to stop St. Elimine in a border town... Is it this group?
"Yes. Yes. One of them w-was killed and I've been following them ever since. Appareantely there are more of them. I'm trying on tracking them all down and to hand them over to... you. Or St. Elimine. But I only have few accomplices. And... that's why I'm here. I need your help. Please... please."
"I will think about it."
"Please! My lady! There's no time! They will notice I'm gone! And-"
"You were unconscious for 1 hour."
"W-what? I must go back! Your highness! Please!"
The marquess reflected for a while. Then she reacted quickly.
"For now I will give you 4 scouts. They will follow you. When you find the heretics they will warn me. But if you lied, they will tell me. And they will kill you. Understand? Now go.
"Thank you, you highness. Thank you."

Kraft ran out of the castle with blood still on his head.
He was already gone for 2 hours. And there was still a 20 min run to go. They must've noticed.
He PRAYED to ST. Elimine they didn't. He and the four scouts where running through the streets. From now on these four warriors will be tailing Kraft and his little gang in whatever they do. Kraft had succeeded in that. He was sure that someone would tell St. Elimine of his excellent plan and that he St. Elimine would give him a reward. After all, he loved his religion.
Kraft started puffing again and when he arrived at house reglis he noticed that the scouts had already merged with the street. They were nowhere to be found.
Kraft looked around the house a bit and heard someone training.
D**n. How am I going to get in... I can't use the front door... I'll just throw a rock over the wall and depending who'll answer, I'll reply. yeeeees. Kraaaaft, smaaart! Hehehe.
Still grinning and happy with his own smart plan he picked up a brick and threw it over the wall while yelling 'Yaaaaar' but he made sure the sound came out as distorted as possible so noone would recognise his voice.

"Ouch!" Mae rubbed her head as a rock hit her and bounced off into the grass. "Who in the-?" Mae quickly found a tree and climbed it trying to look over the wall. Seeing Kraft she sighed. "Thank goodness you're back. You idiot you've been gone forever! You better be glad no one really noticed. And what was with the rock? You could've killed me and then where would you be, thief?"
