Ulster	Camden	Gallo	Bagdmagus	Dryst

--- Sacred King Calendar, Month 1, Year 217 ---
-- Town south of Lothian --

Ulster was just back from another one of his walks as he usually does (now that he doesn't really have anything to do...) But this time, he came back seemingly anxious and pale..

Ulster: Everybody else is just slacking off, since Dryst is still not in the mood to push through Bagdemagus' suggestion from a couple of months ago. (if ever he still intends to..)

Camden: You came back pretty late than usual, huh?

Gallo: You shouldn't be over-exerting yourself, Ulster. T'looks like you're sick. What do you get from those walks anyways?

Ulster: Shhhh.. Be quiet, you guys. I hope no one followed me back here.

Camden: What are you talking about?

Ulster: I can swear someone was following me around the whole afternoon..! I really have a bad feeling about it. I tried to lose him... I think i did... I hope I did.

Bagdemagus: Wahaha... A few months out of battle and you've become a scaredy cat! I didn't expect that from you...

Ulster: I'm serious here! I've a gut feeling that---

Ulster was about to continue when we realized that no one was paying attention to him anymore. He turned to Dryst.

Ulster: Master, I think we need to take precautions, who knows maybe--

He was stopped mid-sentence again... because Dryst hit him hard on the head.

Dryst: Quit your yapping! You're worrying about petty stuff while I'm here without any wine to drink!

Ulster: But, Master-- Dryst: Do you have any wine on you? You're out all day and you never even thought of bringing back some!

Ulster: (We're here possibly in danger, and my liege is worrying about his drink! I really have to--) Ouch!

Dryst: Stop muttering to yourself, Ulster. We have a guest.

Everybody in the room looked up. Dryst stood up with Iria right beside him.

Out of the shadows..
He stepped out..

Dryst: It was very brave... not to mention stupid... of you to come alone, kid. Unfortunately, your cover's blown.
