Voit was so close to winning...before he almost ran head first into a sword. "G-aahh!" There was a man standing against the tree and Lucian..Won! Voit, completely unfazed by the sword, let Dema down. Falling to his knees, the young man let out a long cry. "Nooooooooo! You made us loose the race!" Voit over exaggeratedly sobbed. Though he was saddened at his loss, there was still the matter of who made him lose. "Of course not! You just cost me a race! Otherwise I would have won! Right Dema, right? right?" Voit pouted to his female companion.
( I lost either way! D: )

Lucian grinned as he hurried past Voit just before Voit got stopped by the sword. He reached the town and turned about to see Voit getting held up for supposedly 'kidnapping' Dema. He burst into laughter, finding it rather hilarious that the innocent, idiotic knight was getting held up for kidnapping a maiden. And not him. When Voit was upset only by the fact that he lost the race, Lucian laughed even harder. He was such a little kid. His eyes watched the scene, waiting for what Dema would do.

Dema snickered. "Oh, they wish. Trust me, they'd be a bloody pulp in less than five secconds if they ever tried to kidnap me." she replied to the man with a large look of amusement on her face - even if they did lose. "I'm Dema, by the way. These two idiots are...notworthmentioning. What's your name?" Her tone was generally friendly as she spoke, even if she did throw a playful jab or two at both Lucian and Voit - as she always did anyway.

Kyrell stepped out of the shadow and looked at him, then walked towards Dema asking sweetly with a worried tone as he held out his hand to help her up, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Then, he looked up at the man to identify him. "Wait a second! You're a knight? Voit if I recall?" He chuckled heartily, mistaking a an ex-fellow knight for a kidnapper. "...It's me, Kyrell. I quit full-time knighthood recently, only to be called again by the king to become a bounty hunter. It's been a long time. How've you been?"
He looked at the girl again as if to say "You're in good hands" It's been such time since Kyrell saw others of the knighthood as well.

The tall male pouted when Dema ignored him, mumbling to himself. "Not worth mentioning my arse.." Still, he was distracted yet again by the familiar face of another knight. "Kyrell! It has been a long time indeed!" Voit chuckled happily, glad to see the other man. It was no surprise that the king had hired the man as a bounty hunter, best in his class. Both men had sparred together many times, and Kyrell was a good fighter. "I've been doing well, stuck with the cheating idiot over there, but I've had the lovely Dema to accompany me. Or should I say we're accompanying her?" Voit chattered happily, even if he confused himself at the end of his sentence. He may be a good fighter, but he was still just a ditz.

Seeing the Dema was fine and that she was with his good friend after all, Kyrell smiled charmingly, again completely oblivious of his own charming looks. "Like I said, I'm Kyrell. Nice to meet you." He looked over at Voit with a look of discontent as though to say "What did you do?"
"Voit? He's worth mentioning. A little ditsy at times but you can trust him, fair damsel." He said, unintentionally flattering her. "The other one though, I don't think I've seen him before. He's not a knight, is he? If he is, I won't be able to forgive myself for not recognizing him"
When Voit started to talk openly like they did in the past, he cheerily answered him, "Oh-ho-ho. A lovely lady indeed. So, what brings you to Prinn? Don't tell me the king sent you to kill the wizard too?"

"HEY! I don't cheat, I just use my circumstances to my advantage." Lucian said proudly, going up to Voit and hitting him on the back of his head before introducing himself. "I'm Lucian Lordimire, and am not an idiot." He said proudly, although he had just struck out with the last person he'd spoken to. He used his last name only because it was recognizable.

"Ah, I'm just joking. There's nothing wrong with teasing these two every now and again." Dema spoke with a chuckle. "I know I can trust Voit...with anything but direction. Lucian, not so much. You should see how those two argue over a princess they've never even met. It's hilarious."

"The....Princess?" Kyrell blushed and turned away, not continuing to speak with Dema as he tried to hide his affection for the gentle princess that once roamed the castle often as he watched her from the knights' training area. He was quite hurt that someone would think it silly to be in love with a person they never officially met.
Kyrell turned to the man instead and repeated his last name. "Lordimire, huh? Sounds familiar."
Then it struck him. "You mean those spoiled, rich brats who can't even go into the safest forest in the land without an escort?"

Voit simply shrugged off Kyrell's first look, seeing as he got that kind of look often. Though his chest did swell with pride when his friend said he was worth mentioning. He gave Dema his own look of 'see? i told you so!'. She teased him and Lucian again, but he simply smiled and stood by her side once more. That was just how their relationship worked. Voit was about to reply to Kyrell when he felt a smack on his head. With his thoughts jumbled, the male reached out and wrapped an arm around Lucian's neck.
Tightly. "Hey there buddy! It's not nice to hit your friend!" Voit said in a rather dark tone, but it still had it's playful ring to it. He let go of Lucian, they could fight later. Not like they wouldn't anyway. "We're going to rescue the princess as the lovely Dema states!" Voit finally answered cheerfully. Kyrell was acting rather strange though. Dema knew about his past and why he was dedicated to the princess, so he didn't mind her poking fun at him. Though at his last comment..Voit stepped a bit away from Lucian. Seconds away from a meltdown no doubt..

Lucian didn't bother responding to Dema, not after seeing that man stop Voit for 'kidnapping' Dema. He almost choked when Voit wrapped his arm around his neck, glaring at him for a moment. However, when it was implied that he was a spoiled rich brat, he turned to Kyrell and exploded. "I'm NOT SPOILED! Those are my STUPID SIBLINGS! WHY DOES EVERYONE ASSOCIATE ME WITH THEM! I AM GOING TO MAKE MY OWN NAME FOR MYSELF, JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE!" He yelled angrily at Kyrell, glaring at the ex-knight.

Dema snickered at Lucian's massive rage. In the most soothing tone she could offer without slipping back into her public facade, she assured him, "You shouldn't let public images bother you as much as they do, since it isn't true. You can almost never believe anyone's reputation unless you've met them and can honestly say that they deserve it."

"Voit!" Kyrell walked up to the man and whispered, "I know rich brats I cannot tolerate but it would be nice to show him that knights can act better, no? After all, I don't intend on losing to a gaudy rich kid either, not in etiquette and certainly not in battle." It has been a long time since Kyrell quit the knighthood but all the same, he hated those spoiled, rich brats with a passion, once even claiming that most villains that heroes need to defeat came from their class.
"Sure you are..." Kyrell said calmly, looking at Lucian.
Diverting the conversation, he stated to all of them, "Well, you're out to rescue the princess..." Then with a dark tone, he continued. "I'm out to kill the wizard." Then, returning to his cheery self in swift changes of expression, "So, why don't we team up for a bit? I'm sure it's alright with you, my lady?"
Then he turned again to Voit. "Voit, the royal scout, Lucas... He was my friend. He found the whereabouts of the wizard but unfortunately, he never came home. So just in case he's dead..." Kyrell said again in a dark tone, "I'm out for revenge"

Voit was well prepared for Lucian's rampage, knowing what would come next. He quickly slid his arms underneath Lucian's and pulled the man back before he could lash out at Kyrell. That in which resulted in a few hits himself, but it wasn't anything he wasn't used to when the two sparred. "Calm down man! Dema's right."
Afterward he moved back from a now-hopefully calmer-Lucian to have Kyrell whispering in his ear. Voit frowned at his words, but remained silent. He didn't think it was proper for a knight to treat Lords in such a way, even if his companion was a brat. Still, Kyrell was smart and had been his friend for a long time. This whole thing made him confused!
Kyurell sure was acting strange though. Maybe it was just Voit's memory being off, it was a long time after all. Still, the thought of teaming up made Voit smile happily. He was sure it'd be all right, they where friends after all! Kyrell spoke of revenge too, but what made Voit the most worried was about Lucas. A life in danger..He nodded respectfully to Kyrell. Though he didn't agree with revenge, that man needed to be saved as well!

With Kyrell's apparent skill, he didn't worry about Lucian at all though he nodded appreciatively at Voit for being a good friend. He knew their values were different from the start. However, there were many things at stake for Kyrell. One of his close friends might be dead by now and he still hasn't heard any news about him. Moreover, if that fiery thought of revenge or rescue wasn't enough, Dema's mention of the princess still in danger made him weary and awkward.
However, when he saw Voit smile at the idea of teaming up, his spirits were raised a little enough to be back to his senses. "You don't mind, right? So, what do you say?" He waited for approval from the rest of the party, happy enough to be with his friend once again.
