"A friend. I'll talk in person when we get to a place where nobody could hear us talk, preferably a tent."
-
The tribune was hesitant but went to an empty tent. "Well?"
-
[i]Rebecca reappeared in the tent, her wings spread out. She puts away her glasses as she spoke.[/i] "So I heard... Certain rumours about you."
-
He hand subconsciously dropped to his sword. "What rumors? What are they about?"
-
"People have been talking behind you back about you trying to win over then men. That's certainly not good for your reputation, is it?"
-
"What of it? Why do you care about my reputation?"
-
"People do suspect that you're a coward. Trust me, you really need some help."
-
"And what can you do for me?"
-
[i]Rebecca takes a earpiece out of her pocket and hands it to him.[/i] "I'll be your eyes in the sky. Provide information about where the enemy is coming from and how strong they are."
-
The tribune took it, and looked at it. "Well, thank you. But why?"
-
"Hopefully people will look at you on a different perspective. I also will be helping everyone by helping you." [i]She steps out of the tent and lifts herself off.[/i]
-
The tribune narrowed his eyes and shook his head, he figured he might as well use the resource since he had it available to him.
-
[i]Meanwhile, Xavier was still spying on Quintus.[/i]
-
The other tribune was eating a modest dinner now, the same bread, cheese, and roast chicken that the men ate, he was still thinking of something, as his attention seemed elsewhere.
-
[i]Moar spying. He could try to look into his brain, but it would require a secure connection.[/i]
-
[spoiler]lol, what? A mind reader?[/spoiler] He wasn't doing anything particularly interesting. He was eating, fiddling with a ring on his pointer finger on his right hand. It was silver with three emeralds set into it, it had a Celtic design.
-
[spoiler]Some of his powers involve manipulating the brain, so why not?[/spoiler] [i]Xavier really needed to get him alone and away from the others. He looked around for the nearest volatile substance he could find.[/i]
-
Not much to be had, they didn't keep dangerous substances near the living quarters of camp.
-
[i]He looked for something that could make a lot of noise, instead.[/i]
-
There were horses stabled nearby, they could serve as a good distraction.
-
[i]Xavier crept along and opened the stables. Using the opportunity to strike from the shadows, he smacked each horse.[/i]
-
The horses bolted and soon caused a lot of Commotion in the camp. Legionnaires scrambled to catch the horses, it bought him a few minutes.
-
[i]Xavier went back to Quintus.[/i]
-
He was back in his tent about to see what all the commotion was.
-
[i]Xavier made sure that nobody was watching, then he knocked out Quintus and dragged him into the shadows.[/i]
