ANONYMOUS ASKED: You know Leslie works for a very bad man, right? Yet hes VERY soft with you. Don’t you worry that he’s just keeping you safe and helping you to use you or sell you? Or hurt you? Or do you think he’s genuine? You’re completely unique in Midgar.
MENTION: @leslienkyle
The elf finds himself rather offended by the subject of the questions - albeit briefly does his queried expression turn to echo the thoughts of wonder; had he been discovered? Swiftly, however, he moved to address what was uttered to him with a continually furrowed brow and an air of mild agitation about him.
“Of course I’m not entirely aware of what Leslie does - that is his entirely his own, not mine.” A breath, a sip of ... coffee - yes, that was what it was called; “I would very much like to think his intentions are pure... he’s not once given me reason to doubt him nor his intentions. In fact, he has been so wonderfully supportive this entire time I would dread to think just what would have happened had our paths not crossed.” And indeed, the thought filled him with fear.
“As for softness...” Well - was there very much he could say on the matter at all? Leslie had cared for him since he had exited the colosseum - tended his wounds, made certain he was settled; he learned of what he could and could not eat and made certain he rested - even those nights when Lyrian was far too affeered to sleep alone, Leslie had remained by his side to comfort the elf gradually into his new home; Midgar. “Well... I suppose that, too, is none of your business.”
Though he smiles quietly to himself and draws in a content breath - just when was Leslie due home?

Where Do We Belong? Chapter 1: The Chase
A gentle wind rolled down the hills and made the patches of grass and wild flowers flourish in the welcoming summer sun. The sun just about midway in the clear blue sky, signaled it was almost noon.
Arthur could feel the blood in his legs pulling towards his feet. His toes and ankles beginning to swell from hours of riding. Though an experienced rider and a long rider, Arthur knew it was time for a break from the road.
He was riding along the fast-cold Dakota River. He pulled his faithful steed Pretty Maiden off the dusty flat road towards a patch of grass and just beyond the patch the rocky shore of the river itself. Arthur with ease jumped from Pretty Maiden’s back and shook his legs a bit like a cat out of water attempting to get the blood moving again in his long legs.
Pretty Maiden needed a break as well, she had allowed ease of a swift escape after holding up a post office for some extra cash. The old timer drunk simply known as Uncle swore up and down it was a good tip and the post office was holding onto some gold and money to be sent across country to a bank in New York.
Arthur wanting to give Uncle another chance, found the heist less than what was foretold. The postman only gave up his till money and his waist coat pocket watch at gunpoint, pleading he had nothing else. Even with the rumble of Arthur's cold threatening voice, he swore to his savior he had no knowledge of or was in the possession of any New York fortune.
A train pulled into the station where the post office was located, and three lawmen immediately gave chase. Arthur, Uncle and Javier Escuella separated at different points to leave the lawmen in the dust of their horses’ hooves.
Arthur shook his head at the unsuccessful and unnecessary hold up, the seventy dollars and pocket watch still in his satchel to give over to the gang when he got back. He grumbled angrily, “Crazy old drunk…nearly got us caught for some pocket change…”
In a canvas feeding bag he placed a satchel of heavy grain and chopped carrot, pulling it over the mare’s velvet nose for a fulfilling lunch. As Pretty Maiden happily munched away her master chuckled patting her softly on the neck, “That’s a good girl.”
Arthur then began towards the river shore, stretching his arms above his head and twisting his torso allowing his muscles the much needed pull out of tension. Finding a spot on a washed-up tree trunk, Arthur sat for lunch himself. Pulling a loaf of salted game meat, biscuits, and cheese he made himself small sandwiches with the blade of his knife.
Eating quietly, he enjoyed the babble of the river and the sounds of singing birds. He enjoyed moments such as this, simple and quiet. Unlike the hustle, bustle, arguing and loud of the main camp.
Finishing off the last bite of his sandwich, he watched as a crane flew just above the water snatching a squirming fish in its narrow beak. Giving him the idea to pull his collapsible bamboo fishing rod from his satchel. Using cheese from his lunch, he baited his hook and indulgingly cast his line out into the clear river.
Arthur fished for hours, losing complete track of time. The sun began to lower quickly. The sky turning a beautiful glowing gold. Arthur a ping of guilt in his chest whispered, “Aw hell…” he had indulged too much in his time alone and the quiet of the river, he needed to get back to camp.
He packed up his catches of the day and went astride Pretty Maiden and swiftly made his way down the road, the sky being quickly purchased by the navy speckled blue of the night. Soon the road had become completely darkened, no sign of the moon for its glow and guide.
Arthur not being able to see the road closely and affeered Pretty Maiden may break a leg on a large bump or hole he made the decision to make camp for the night. Lighting his lantern, he guided Pretty Maiden off the main road towards a small patch of pine and cottonwood trees.
…
Sitting by the crackling fire under the canopy of trees Arthur finished off the meal he had made of rabbit and a roast apple for dessert, tossing the core for Pretty Maiden just a few steps away.
The hush and whispers of wind among the trees began to lull Arthur into the grasp of sleep. Yawning widely, he laid himself out on his bed roll. Placing his prairie boss hat over his eyes he allowed sleep to overtake him with a sigh and a snore.
…
It was the middle of the night, the clouds that had obscured the crescent moon now were gone allowing its eerie glow to illuminate the land below it. An ominous air began to crawl its way down Arthur’s neck making him shift slight from his slumber.
Pretty Maiden also sensing the omen stamped her hooves to rouse her master further. Arthur rose from his bedroll, still half way in slumber’s strong embrace. A sudden and sharp scream of a woman sliced through the calm natural silence of the night.
Following the horror filled screams was the hollering of angry men. Arthur stood hidden among the patch of pine, he looked down upon the road just beyond where the noise was coming from. He caught sight of a woman on a pony galloping at its full speed. She was barely visible aside from the bright white of her undergarments.
Two men followed closely behind her, pointing their revolvers towards her and threatening if she did not stop, she would be shot dead. Arthur picked up the droll of an Irish accent in the men’s hollers. Most likely a pair of O’Driscoll’s boys.
Pretty Maiden stamped and huffed as Arthur grabbed her reins and was swiftly astride her. Ready for a run Arthur spurred the creature and hollered in his deep voice, “YAH!” and was off after the men and the woman they chased.

From the Count of Poitiers
The king had scarcely begun to move when he received several messages from the Count of Poitiers, his brother, and the Count of Flanders, and several other men of worth who had their forces there, all begging him not to move, because they were so hard pressed by the Turks that they could not follow him. The king summoned once more all the right worthy knights of his council, and all advised that he should wait. Shortly after, my Lord John of Valery came back, and blamed the king and his council for remaining where they were. On this all his counsellors advised that he should draw towards the river as the Lord of Valery advised.
At this moment the constable, my Lord Imbert of Beaujeu, came up to him and said that the Count of Artois, his brother, was defending himself in a house at Mansourah, and that he should go to his relief and succour him. And the king said, “ Constable, go before, and I will follow.” I said to the constable that I would be his knight, and he thanked me much. So we put ourselves in the way to go to Man sourah.
Then came to the constable a sergeant, a mace-bearer, all affeered, and told him that the king was stayed, and that the Turks had placed themselves between him and us. We turned, and saw that there were at least a thousand of them, and more, between him and us, and we were no more than six. Then I said to the constable, “ Lord, we cannot get to the king through these people, but let us go upward, and put this ditch that you see here between them and us, and so shall we be able to get back to the king.” The constable took my advice. And you may know that if the Turks had taken thought of us, they would certainly have killed us all; but they gave no thought to any save the king, and the big bodies of men; wherefore they fancied that we were on their side.
THE CHRISTIANS DRIVEN BACK ON THE RIVER BRIDGE DEFENDED BY JOINVILLE RETREAT OF THE COUNT OF BRITTANY FROM MANSOURAH
While we were returning down the bank of the river belween the streamlet and the river, we saw that the king was come nigh to the river, and that the Turks were driving back the king’s other battalions, slashing and striking with swords and maces; and they forced back the other battalions, with the king’s battalions, upon the river. The discomfiture was there so great that several of our people thought to pass over to the Duke of Burgundy, swimming; which they were unable to do, for their horses were weary, and the day had become very hot; so we saw, as we were coming down towards them, that the stream was covered with lances and shields, and wirh horses and men drowning and perishing customized daily istanbul tours.
We came to a little bridge that was over the streamlet, and I said to the constable, “ Let ns stay here, and guard this little bridge, for if we abandon it the Turks will fall on the king from this side, and if our people are attacked from two sides, it will go hard with them.” And we did so. And it was told to us afterwards that we should all have been lost that day, save for the king. For the Lord of Courtenay and my Lord John of Saillenay told me that six Turks had come to the king’s bridle and were leading him away captive, and that he alone delivered himself striking at them great strokes with his sword. And when his people saw how the king was defending himself, they took courage, and many of them abandoned thought of taking flight across the river, and drew to the king’s side to help him.
Right straight upon us, who were keeping the little bridge, came the Count Peter of Brittany, riding from Mansourah, and he had been wounded with a sword across the face, so that the blood ran into his mouth. He rode upon a fine, well- limbed horse. He had thrown the reins on the pummel of the saddle, and held it with his two hands so that his people, who were behind, and pressed sorely upon him, might not hustle him out of the path to the little bridge. Well did it seem how lightly he held them, for as he spat the blood out of his mouth, he said full often: Ha, by God’s head, have you ever seen such riff-raff! ” Behind his men came the Count of Soissons, and my Lord Peter of Neuville, who was called “ Caier,” and they both had received blows endow during that day.

THE CHRISTIANS DRIVEN BACK ON THE RIVER BRIDGE DEFENDED BY JOINVILLE RETREAT OF THE COUNT OF BRITTANY FROM MANSOURAH
While we were returning down the bank of the river belween the streamlet and the river, we saw that the king was come nigh to the river, and that the Turks were driving back the king’s other battalions, slashing and striking with swords and maces; and they forced back the other battalions, with the king’s battalions, upon the river. The discomfiture was there so great that several of our people thought to pass over to the Duke of Burgundy, swimming; which they were unable to do, for their horses were weary, and the day had become very hot; so we saw, as we were coming down towards them, that the stream was covered with lances and shields, and wirh horses and men drowning and perishing customized daily istanbul tours.
We came to a little bridge that was over the streamlet, and I said to the constable, “ Let ns stay here, and guard this little bridge, for if we abandon it the Turks will fall on the king from this side, and if our people are attacked from two sides, it will go hard with them.” And we did so.

From the Count of Poitiers
The king had scarcely begun to move when he received several messages from the Count of Poitiers, his brother, and the Count of Flanders, and several other men of worth who had their forces there, all begging him not to move, because they were so hard pressed by the Turks that they could not follow him. The king summoned once more all the right worthy knights of his council, and all advised that he should wait. Shortly after, my Lord John of Valery came back, and blamed the king and his council for remaining where they were. On this all his counsellors advised that he should draw towards the river as the Lord of Valery advised.
At this moment the constable, my Lord Imbert of Beaujeu, came up to him and said that the Count of Artois, his brother, was defending himself in a house at Mansourah, and that he should go to his relief and succour him. And the king said, “ Constable, go before, and I will follow.” I said to the constable that I would be his knight, and he thanked me much. So we put ourselves in the way to go to Man sourah.
Then came to the constable a sergeant, a mace-bearer, all affeered, and told him that the king was stayed, and that the Turks had placed themselves between him and us. We turned, and saw that there were at least a thousand of them, and more, between him and us, and we were no more than six. Then I said to the constable, “ Lord, we cannot get to the king through these people, but let us go upward, and put this ditch that you see here between them and us, and so shall we be able to get back to the king.” The constable took my advice. And you may know that if the Turks had taken thought of us, they would certainly have killed us all; but they gave no thought to any save the king, and the big bodies of men; wherefore they fancied that we were on their side.
