Thread: Bounty Hunters Part II: The New Era

The shadow ran up to the man with the red colored hair, once fully in the light though it became apparent that he was only a child, about twelve years old with shoulder length blonde hair. He hung his head down as a greeting slash half bow. "Master, master, a group of people came and defeated the Sargent and Lieutenant-" the small boy, barely even five feet, said in a light australian accent before trailing off as he saw the group, "THEM THEY DID IT!" cried the boy pointing at Klay.

"Who is this little guy?" said Brine smiling and crouching down.

"I ain't little, I'm just a late bloomer, and my name is Jeremy, I'm a royal guard in training," said Jeremy, boasting about the last part.

"Aw he's cute," said Brine.

Jeremy suddenly threw his hand out, his finger tips hitting the pressure point below the sternum, knocking the air out of him, before he could regain his composure though, Jeremy whipped out a pair of black and gold tonfas, holding them to Brine's neck, "I ain't cute," snarled Jeremy

"Jeremy, down." Marisan pointed out, his tone being completely emotionless as he motioned for Jeremy to stand on his side. "This man." he looked at Klay. "Is the prince."

A... prince? 'Whoa...'

She stayed back, deciding to be silent. Let the information soak in.

"Not exactly prince." The queen shook her head and looked at Klay. "We're not a kingdom, of course other still refer to me with titles and all that." she stared at her son for a moment and smiled. "My name is Klarise."

"bitch...." Mark groaned.

In his own mind he'd jsut finished calling Desmond a son of one, but his outside actions weren't quite purposful.

Jeremy blew his bangs out of his eyes before grumbling, "Fine." Jeremy then shot a glare at Mark, "Even the unconscious one is annoying. I don't rightly care for anyone who I've just met, no matter their lineage, plus I don't quite care for anyone who's harmed my future underlings- er comrades."

"I haven't harmed any of your comrades." Eric said, while Eleanore hastily moved to cover Mark's mouth. "By the way, Jeremy...That Marisan chick's pretty hot. Is she single?"

"Eric he's a guy." Sakura pointed out. "He looks more like a guy than you do in all honesty." she said.

Klarise looked at Klay once more before smiling and turning around. "Guards, let them go, take them to the rooms and give them proper treatment." she ordered. "Would you Slayers mind joining me for dinner?"

Klay looked at her, he didn't know what to say or feel, he was just glad that he really had found his mother even after so many years. "Yes, of course." he nodded his head.

Mark began to shiver. The more he regained conciousness the more voices he heard. In his mind he trembled too as he left the first woman he loved there in that hell hole her blood still on his hands.

((knowing pi he may still want to date them))

"...You act like that's a bad thing." Eric said to Sakura. "On the other hand, Klay's mom...Wait, she just asked me to dinner?! Coming, darling~"

"Mark, you alright?" Eleanore asked. She slapped his face lightly.

Mark grumbled upon feeling some outside force. It actually disoriented him inside the flashback. He fell to his knees, but still didn't recognize it as in his mind.

Serah looked over to Eleanore, walking to her. "Is he... okay?" she seriously felt like the only one just amazed by the turn of events recently.

Tye remained silent the whole time, This whole thing...it is soo intense... "Well at least we are getting 'properly' treated now" He mumbled to himself. "Guys...this is soo weird"

Serah bent down, looking at Mark up close. Shaking her head, she moved to pick him up, slinging his arm around her. "I'll take him to a room..." she then walked off with the boy.

She'd come back later.

"Eric don't say that to my mom." Klay frowned at Eric. "She meant all of us."
