Soooo... OOC we all decided to run with the RP - although I have to say I was particularly reluctant OOC to make it public, mostly because I could see it leading to another fight *shrugs*
I had to crop loads out here as the square was really busy

[17:10] Contessa Lannock: /me looks around the city hearing new voices notices the Lady Katia and it appearing to her Companion the First Sword, nudges Bella "Lets go speak with the First sword and inform him of what is going on"
[17:11] Isabella Bergiere: /me follows Tessa reluctanctly, not really wanting to cause any more trouble
[17:11] Malcomb Danitz: /me hears some references to himself and tries to look, but cant. he already feels the blood on his back again.
[17:11] Malcomb Danitz: "Tal Tessa"
[17:12] Malcomb Danitz: Ahh Bella, Vistor, Pay, i didnot see you all. excusee me"
[17:12] Contessa Lannock: /me looks around seeing the Warrior she desparately needs to speak with "Tal Free" she says quickly then turning directly to Malcomb "SIr I need to speak with you about a little matter I witnessed"
[17:13] Isabella Bergiere: /me slinks into a seat silently with a soft "Tal", trying to blend into the background. She looks up at Tessas words and mutters, "Really it's ok it's over now"
[17:13] Contessa Lannock: /me looks back to Bella whispering "Yes really, you do not know if its over sweetie"
[17:14] Malcomb Danitz: /me takes the platter and begins eating with a fury. He hasnt eaten yet, and he believes the mat will fortify him well, with fingers and gusto he starts in on the suls and the meat, looking up to Tess to hear her speak. "What is it then?"
[17:15] Contessa Lannock: /me looks around then back to Mal, whispering "I am not sure this is the proper place to discuss this Sir"
[17:17] Katia Gandt: /me looking up to the lady . "Tessa, Mal has been seriously injured... I do hope this matter is very important "
[17:18] Contessa Lannock: /me nods looking over to Katia "It is very important. I promise you this"
[17:18] Malcomb Danitz: /me takes a moment from gorgin himself to look back to the nervous Bella, and up to Tessa. "out with it woman, before i am too drunk to understand it."
[17:21] Contessa Lannock: /me sighs out with a deep breath "Well if you insist, Tonight on my way coming from the sewers I was rounding a corner and overheard a warrior and the Lady Bella conversing." begins to talking a lil lower moving in closer to Malcomb making sure he can hear her well "I overheard the Lady Bella tell the man to remove her binds and then the Warrior threaten to collar and rape her in a serious tone. I then proceeded to walk around and make myself known and also offered my dagger to him and he still was very hesitate even in my presence"
[17:22] Victor Warilard: "Was it one of my men?" he asked, concerned that a warrior might have jumped the gun. ":If so, do you know who?"
[17:22] Isabella Bergiere: /me puts her head in her hands as the story is told
[17:22] Contessa Lannock: /me shakes her head in disgust "He even addresed her to me as his 'new slave'. I was appauled by this mans words he then tried to play it off but what I heard was not joking tone I tell you Sir, it was NO joke"
[17:23] Katia Gandt: /me looking at Mal... and then to the Commander ..
[17:23] Malcomb Danitz: /me stands with surprising speed. and rounds on Tessa, a fury borne of frustration of the battle, and now an affront upon a lady ot his homestone, he hurls the tray to the stones, it crashes to pieces. Standing towering over Tessa he then turns to tower over Bella. Trails of blood stream down is back again as he confronts her "Is this true?" his fists clench and unclench as he awaits her answer.
[17:23] Katia Gandt: /me jumping up feeling him rise in a flash ..
[17:24] Payton999 Robonaught: /me blinked and followed between the Captain and the ladies for a moment and then leaned towards Victor with a very faint whisper, "Shouldn't this be a matter of law?", she asked purely out of her own curiousity and then settled back on her cushion, taking another drink from her cup.
[17:24] Isabella Bergiere: /me looks up her eyes filled with tears, unable to speak she simply nods her head to him and whispers "Yes its true"
[17:24] Contessa Lannock: /me ignoring Victors comment for now she finishes her story of the events turning to follow Mal as he walks "Even he then followed up back to the city and refused to identify hisself for quite the time. It wasnt untill we both warned him of ringing the bell that he the offered his name and he was citizen of the city"
[17:24] Malcomb Danitz: /me looks at her intently, his face a mass of rage. "Swear to me that you did nothing to provoke this."
[17:25] Katia Gandt: /me reaching for the streaming blood down his back... she wipes with her bare hand... holding his arm... attempting to pull him back to the seat ...
[17:25] Contessa Lannock: /me turning to Victor "Aye Sir he is of the city." gasping addressing Malcomb once more "The Lady Snapper was there as well she heard him"
[17:25] Malcomb Danitz: /me swats the horn out of toni's hand in his rage. he points to Tessa "His name. NOW."
[17:25] Katia Gandt: /me turning to the Commander, pleading with her eyes for help....
[17:26] Isabella Bergiere: /me stands up in a whirl of skirts and lets out a cry of rage, "How dare you! I did nothing, I awoke bound and he had me leashed to him, I demanded he release me and he called me his new slave""
[17:26] Contessa Lannock: Yes Sir it was Shikhandi Panthar
[17:26] Victor Warilard: "Malcomb is her protector and has the right to intervene--up to a point. " he says, drinking more ale and not really conderned about the litle details of the law. the power of the sword wa the true law in his view.
[17:26] Malcomb Danitz: I am NOT her protector, any more than i am Pay's"
[17:26] Victor Warilard: This name is not known to me. Do you know him Malcomb?
[17:26] Payton999 Robonaught: /me narrowed her brows and blinked, "Oh I thought the Ubar was...um..." she dropped her chin in a nod as she heard Malcombs words, saying nothing more
[17:27] Victor Warilard: My mistake. Indeed, Cor is
[17:27] Malcomb Danitz: "but she is a Trevan woman, and i will take him apart at the seams.
[17:27] Malcomb Danitz: His life ends when next we meet."
[17:27] Katia Gandt: /me hearing the name.... and having seen him in the city .. she remains quiet..
[17:27] Malcomb Danitz: "I will gut him, i will take his head,and make him an orbnament for my Tarn cot."
[17:27] Victor Warilard: or who knows? In any event, Malcomb you are right. Deal with the man. I don't even know him so it is no great loss
[17:28] Isabella Bergiere: /me retorts, "I have no protector! None! They are useless! It was my own protector who...." she trails off, not wanting anyone to know what Ace did
[17:28] Contessa Lannock: /me shaking her head as she closes her eyes hearing speak of taking his head
[17:28] Katia Gandt: "Mal, please come sit down.... I'm sure the Commander.. " she looks at him again... " can handle this now... "
[17:29] Emmaline Ceriano: /me crosses her arms and mutters..."is this your version of taking it easy?"
[17:29] Isabella Bergiere: /me sits down again heavily her eyes flashing, "Carter and Melisande are my guardians; any issues with me are to go through them"
[17:29] Malcomb Danitz: "Bella is a fine lady" he looks to her, starting to calm "I know you did nothing, but i must ask it. you surely know that." he turns to Victor. "No need record his name, i will deal with him, i the severest way."
[17:29] Katia Gandt: "Oh Emma, please tell him to sit.... he is over excited at the moment.. and still losing blood at this moment... "
[17:30] Katia Gandt: "Mal, please.... "
[17:30] Payton999 Robonaught: /me glanced to her left again, her tone rather soft as she watched Isabella, "Lady.." she started to address her, "This happened in Minus?", her lips had pressed together and rolled slightly before she turned to glance to Vic once more and drew another sip.
[17:30] Malcomb Danitz: "No Bella, we are rarius of Treve, and we are all your protectors. You did right to some to us on this." he starts to dizzy, and knows he must sit ."Where is my damn mead? " he shouts as he crumples tot he already bloody cushion.
[17:30] Emmaline Ceriano: /me curls her hands into tight little fists and hisses through clenched teeth.."Malcomb, if you please...the stitches.."
[17:31] Victor Warilard: Get your strength up first Malcomb. Hopefully the man is a scribe or something. Deal with the matter as you see fit
[17:31] Katia Gandt: /me following closely behind him... she crawls up onto the pillow beside him.
[17:31] Malcomb Danitz: "I know him to be a warrior." shakes his head and looks to toni. "mead, girl." the oter totally forgotten in his rage.
[17:31] Isabella Bergiere: /me looks over to Pay with a small grimace, "It happened in the sewers"
[17:32] Tonia Gentry: /me runs to get another horn
[17:32] Contessa Lannock: "IF you will excuse me I must head to the infirmary. I just felt you need to be aware of this Captain. I am sorry for being the bearer of bad news," turning to walk to the infirmary "Be well Free"
[17:33] Payton999 Robonaught: /me's eyes remained rather wide, she couldnt' help but find her attention returned to the woman in blue, "Don't suppose.." she started and just shook her head, unsure if she had wanted to hear any more regardless of how curious she might have been
[17:33] Victor Warilard: He has brought dishonor upon our caste if he was one.
[17:34] Katia Gandt: /me wondering who is his Captain... hoping it isn't Mal.... wringing her hands ..
[17:34] Tonia Gentry: your mead, my Master
[17:36] Katia Gandt: /me turns to greet the rarius . "Greetings, Sir "
[17:36] Pax Canning: /me nods to all the assembled, "Tal everyone"
[17:36] Tonia Gentry: /me looks over her shoulder
[17:36] Tonia Gentry: greetings Master
[17:37] Isabella Bergiere: /me looks up and spots Pax and grimaces at his timing, she gives him a curt nod before turning back to Malcolmb, "I apologise for my outburst Mal, I am just so angry and insulted"
[17:38] Payton999 Robonaught: "Tal Sir" she called across as she leaned over to pluck a grape from the vine, a small curve in Isabella's direction, she had made note to find some time to speak to the woman alone when they might have, a rather soft voice spoke in her direction, "Lady Scribe..when you have a little time, I'd like to go over some paperwork with you.." she trailed off, at least an opportunity had been set..
[17:39] Katia Gandt: /me thinking it was definitely an inopportune time.. but understanding her stress
[17:41] Malcomb Danitz: "I think the men of this city need to be taught that the free women do NOT exist to provide a pool of future slaves. " he moves slowly reaching behind him. Third Maxim" Know the Free and respect their freedom." This man will suffer as few have, i may make him a kajiru. He turn to Emma with a smile.
[17:42] Isabella Bergiere: /me looks over to the Lady Pay in interest, that was the most words the recalcitrant kennel mistress had ever spoken to her. Seeing an opportunuty she gives her a gentle smile, "It's Isabella Lady, you may call me Bella if you wish though. I'd be happy to meet with you to discuss paperwork or anything else that may on your mind"
[17:42] Isabella Bergiere: *may have
[17:42] Katia Gandt: /me laying her hand again on his leg... trying to soothe his ire .... "Mal, this will wait .... I'm sure "
[17:43] Payton999 Robonaught: /me's lips had curled into a small smile, "Lovely, Lady Isabella" she said softly, her free hand lifting up the side of her skirt and pulling it over her thigh a little further.
[17:43] Malcomb Danitz: "Bella, i am no one special to you, just a warrior of the city. but if any man ever touches you again without your approval you tell me, and i will take him apart - promise me you will tell me!" he points a finger at her
[17:45] Isabella Bergiere: /me looks over to Malcolmb and nods, "I will Sir and thank you"
[17:46] Malcomb Danitz: /me shakes his head, knowing that in the dark sewers she was lucky to have escaped, and his own Katia is just a likely to have been the target. his anger grows as he thinks it, and he masters his rage with a visible effort.
