Alden looked at Erin and smiled. He was a very determined boy wasn't he? Nothing was obviously going to get in the way of him and the princess. "Whenever you please." Alden downed another shot. All of this alcohol wasn't going to feel great in the morning, but he's gotten used to it. Especially when him and the others drank more than this after a good mission. "You're obviously very eager to find her."
--
Alice wasn't sure which idea was worse: sitting in a chair in Astral's room the whole night, or going downstairs with a bunch of other strangers for the whole night. Both thoughts weren't pleasing, but if she was being honest, she would rather be around one bandit than however many were down there. "I think I'll stay here for a short while longer if you don't mind."

"So you'd be fine to leave once we're not as intoxicated, or even now?" Erin asked with an excited smile, he was more than just eager to find her. He thought he needed to. After all she was what he considered the love of his life. He was sure of it. "I'd like to leave as soon as you're ready."
---
"If you wish to" Astral replied quietly, he didn't care whether or not she stayed. He continued to stare out the window wondering if she'd be gone soon, he had hopes she'd be gone as soon as possible for the fact that Erin might actually show up. As much as he didn't believe he could he knew that there was still a chance. But it was very slim

"I'm always ready, what are you talking about?" Alden laughed, and patted the sword at his side. He probably shouldn't have one in his drunken - no, woozy - state, but Alden wasn't one to grow violent when drunk. He would become more jolly, one could say. "I just hope your hangover doesn't kill you in the morning." Alden chuckled. The boy hadn't been out for only one drink, that was quite obvious. He was an open book thanks to the alcohol.

{We can leave them off here if you want, so Erin can come in and be the knight in shining armour lol}

(Lets say she asks for a drink and he can come in and see her, but they obviously get spotted? Or he can sneak around the house and she sees him first?)
"I'd be glad to leave now, if that's alright with you. And don't worry about the hangover, it's not going to be my first one" he added with a chuckle before getting up. He looked down to his side and looked at his small blade, it wasn't anything special, more made for fast striking rather than heavy attacks. "So shall we go?" He asked with a big smile

"if you die, I'd have to say, the would be very odd to say it was because you were drunk trying to rescue your literal princess." Alden shook his head, not believing his statement. Alden would make sure he doesn't die. Well, he hoped he would make sure anyway. This was one of his riskiest jobs yet. Alden stood up from the table, and left the gold on the table for the waitress to take before putting an arm across the boy's shoulders as they walked both determinedly and giddy out of the pub. "I hope you know how to fight."
--
{I like the first one}
"I'm going to get a drink." Alice muttered, even though she had the water, she didn't want to be around him. Plus, she could try putting off going to sleep by standing up. Although, it probably won't work. She wasn't good at staying up very late. She headed downstairs to a place she located to be the kitchen. Hopefully Alice wouldn't have to navigate through the house longer than tonight.

(Works for me! ) Erin looked at Alden with a confused look, "oi, are you doubting me?" He asked and smirked, clearly he was joking. Although the age difference was so much, he saw Alden as a slightly(?) older brother type. He was enjoying being around this man. He walked confidently with his hand on the handle of his blade, ready for anything. --- All Astral did was nod and watch as she left, he was quite glad she wanted to leave for awhile.

(I can)
Erin felt as if he'd been walking for hours, though it was no more than thirty minutes. If that. As he walked he looked over to Alden "how close do you think we are?" He asked curiously as he begun to grip his blade. For what he had remembered of the area this was near the ravine, but not too close. "Which side of the house is the water fall on?" He also asked trying to remember as much as he could about the layout of the area Alden had drawn out for him earlier

Alden felt the walk was long himself, mainly because of the drinks, but it probably wasn't that long. "Shouldn't be too much longer- oh. Here we are." Alden raised his eyebrows in surprise as he heard the waterfall not too far ahead. He picked up the pace, but started to walk lower as to not be seen too easily. "It's right below us. You'll have to climb down, there should be some footholds, and go behind the waterfall. There's a narrow path that should take you to the bottom of the ravine. Once you get there, start crawling. Any questions?"

Erin after hearing the waterfall made his approach as stealthily as he could while in his currently more than slightly intoxicated state. As he made his way down the waterfall he did his best not to slip. As he got to the bottom he did as told and began to crawl his way towards the hous. Not directly to it though as that would make it a lot riskier. He got to his spot and listened, waiting for Alden to distract as many of them as possible

Alden moved around the edge of the ravine until he found the carved steps that lead down to the bottom of the ravine. He walked confidently, as he knew he would be treated like a welcomed hero if anything. His expectations were met, and quite quickly, familiar men became coming out of the house, and greeting him with pats on the back and shaking hands. Questions were flying back and forth and Alden was trying his best to answer all of them. He glanced over to where he knew Erin was waiting and winked very subtly to let him know his cue.

Erin smiled at Alden from his spot seeing the wink, it was getting quite dark so sneaking would be quite a bit easier. He made his way silently, crouching as he went, to the hatch Alden had said led to the kitchen. But when he got close he saw a man making his way over, luckily he hadn't been spotted so he hid behind a small bush and waited until he passed. He saw no point in killing someone for walking by. As soon as the man was far gone Erin got out of his spot and made his way into the hatch, still walking as quiet as possible. As he got to the hidden door he opened it slowly, seeing the kitchen was a nice sight to see as he hadn't been through there before. He entered slowly, not really paying attention to see if anyone was around, just getting into the house was his main effort at this point.

Alice was in the kitchen, finding the water in barrels in another part of the kitchen. But that wasn't what she came here, she was here because she had nothing better to do, but also didn't want to make her situation any worse by wandering around. The only thing on her mind was Erin. The good and bad. She missed the way he would make her laugh, how he held her, his soothing voice. Alice wanted that back again, she wanted Erin to be her knight. But how likely was that? How would he find her in such a location? It was tempting to cry again, but she felt as if she was all out of tears. The rest seemed to have dried from being held back for so long. Although, she didn't really know what happened to those tears. However, she had no time to worry about that. The only people she should be concerned about were herself and Erin.

All Erin could think about as he entered the kitchen was Alice, and everything they'd done together. From the first moment they met until she was taken away earlier that day. As he finally let his surroundings come to a reality he saw someone standing alone, it couldn't be. Was he seeing things? Or was it actually her? He was too intoxicated to tell if it was her so he stealthily made his approach and put his hand over this persons mouth and pulled her into him, shushing her as he did so. Very much like the first time they'd encountered each other. As soon as he grabbed her he backed up back into the door he had just entered from, still covering her mouth. As soon as he realized it was her, he instantly teared up, he thought he'd lost her for good, and that going with Alden was nothing more than a shot in the dark, which it was. He let go of the hand on her mouth and pulled her into a tight embrace. "Alice.." he whispered quietly to her happily

Alice wasn't sure what to think when someone who smelled of alcohol had grabbed her. She wanted to yelp in fear but with their hand over her mouth she couldn't do much but do as they said. But when she heard a familiar voice, and was pulled to an embrace, she did finally cry. Her tears came out slowly, one by one, as she practically melted into tears embrace. It was Erin, he had come for her. She was starting to believe Astral, but this proved otherwise. "Erin, I thought..." she didn't continue any more, she didn't want to say what she thought. It would have hurt her too much as well as Erin. "Oh Erin..." she sobbed quietly into him, holding onto him as tight as she could. She didn't want to let go of him ever again.

"We need to get out of here, we don't have long until they realize you're gone. We can talk later." He said to her, tears still coming down his face. Her embrace made wverything feel better, everything bad that day wasn't as saddening as it was earlier. He was still going to be in mourning over Ethan, but his sacrifice wasn't in vain anymore. He had Alice back and he was sure Ethan would be proud. "I missed you so much, Alice" he said quietly before pressing his lips against her forehead. He let go after a moment and grabbed her hand before heading outside, he wasn't sure if Alden was still around, but he was there long enough for him to do his job, which he was more than thankful for. "We need to go to the waterfall, it's the easiest way out." He stated to Alice as he begun to walk quietly away from the house

Alice wanted nothing more than to get home, to speak to Erin one on one. She hoped to be held by him once again, and comfort one another as they brought everything out into the open. There was so much she wanted to say, and so little time to say it. It was best they left now, and spoke later. She didn't want to put Erin's life at risk again. Alice followed Erin quietly back into where he had entered. She would have to ask how exactly he got here, or found her in the first place. Alice held onto his hand tightly, and walked directly behind him, as to not get in his way. He must need room to escape, especially with another person. "How do we get out? There are so many of them" She asked, sounding very Distressed but trying to keep her voice quiet

"Just follow me, maybe Alden is still around. That would help so much" he told her silently as he pulled her along, he knew there were a lot of men, and the chances of getting out without being noticed were slim, but it would be a lot better if they could leave quietly before they noticed. "But lets try to get to the ravine, it would make things a lot easier to get away if we made it there" he added as he went. his tone was very serious, sounding almost deadly at this point. His deep voice was almost sharp at this point although it was slightly off as he was still intoxicated.

Alden had been glancing over at the house, trying to discreetly check on the two of them without actually going inside of getting too close it would compromise anything. As the trap door opened out of the corner of his eye, he had to glance at it, to make sure there were two people coming out of it, rather than one or more than two. It was with relief that he saw Erin helping up who he assumed to be Alice. He had to admit, she was a very pretty young lady, and would without a doubt say the two of them were quite adorable together. But he said no such thing, especially not now. Perhaps he could talk to the two of them after all of this.
"What do you keep looking at Alden?" One of the men, Timothy, asked. He was a newbie wen Alden left, and clearly was catching on to nonverbals. But that wasn't good for Alden. Or Erin. Or Alice. He turned around, and saw the two young lovers escaping. "Get Astral!" He called out to the others, "The prisoner is escaping!"

Erin stopped dead in his tracks hearing that name, it had been years since anyone mentioned his fathers name, but was it really him? Did Alice know it was his father, who was the person who had ordered people to kidnap her? It was his fathers fault Ethan had died, if that was the case. He quickly became furious and let go of Alice. "Stay close." He grumbled to her as he pulled out the blade off of his hip.
---
Astral made his way outside quickly hearing Alice had escaped with someone who was unknown, but he knew it was Erin, who else would have came to rescue her? As he made his way down the stairs he walked slowly, unsure if this was worth it. "Elliot!" He called out "you're needed outside!" He said quite ferociously. He didn't want to have to hurt Erin, but if he were to get in the way of his plan he would do whatever was needed.

no, this wasn't how it was supposed to go. Alice was going to go with Erin back safe and sound where she belonged for the time being. This wasn't right! Why must everything go wrong, there hasn't been much that's gone her way in life. This still leaves her case to be true. Was it because she didn't pray that things were going wrong? Or maybe this was meant to happen regardless. But it was too late to change that unfortunately, and all Alice could do was 'stay close' how useful. But nonetheless, she nodded her head slowly as moved closer to Erin. She knew what was making him so tense. Not only was it the fact they had been spotted, but someone had called out to get Astral. His father. She couldn't imagine, how Erin was feeling right now.w
--
Elliot heard his boss loud and clear and started to head out of the building following right after him. How could anyone even sneak passed the guards and go into the house without being noticed? Something or someone must be distracting them, that was the only explanation, but he wasn't going to say disobey Astral and find out. It wasn't long before Elliot and Astral were in front of the two escapees. And Elliot didn't have a hard time realizing who it was. It was that boy, the one who was trying to brave and save everyone, but instead got his life in shambles. And the girl, who must have came with him willingly. What was between the two of them? Whatever it was, there was no time to figure it out. He glanced over at Astral and kept his gaze focused on the two. "What do you propose we do?"
