{Lmao, now you've got that image stuck in my head. Next thing you know he'll be chasing after all the fertile honeys.}
Scarlet then went on to ask for any assistance the priest could muster for 'Cyrus', her friend. He'd been getting terrible headaches, to the point where some days he couldn't even get out of bed, and these strange marks have appeared on his face. She mentioned nothing about the blackness of Lucian's eyes, nor did she say any more than was strictly necessary for that matter.

((Nah, he wouldn't do that. He's a priest remember? He'd be going after the little boys instead. : D ))
The priest seemed to go a little pale in the face when she mentioned the strange marks. "Take me to him. Now."

{Good point. XDD}
Scarlet was a little hesitant, but did as she was instructed - all the while ready to bolt with Lucian in tow if anything were to go wrong. Which, for some reason, she kept feeling like what would happen. Perhaps it's just genre-savvy in regards to having a very cruel, cruel authoress.

The priest was quick on his feet and seemed to be in a hurry to get to 'Cyrus'. He barely gave Lucian the chance to say anything before the man yanked his glasses off his face. The markings told him all he needed. "DEMON!!" he cried, making the poor noble jump slightly from being given no warning. "Only those who still have souls to save shall find salvation here! Someone call the guards!" he shouted to the other people in the church. "Child, I can do nothing for your friend. You would do him a service in putting him out of his misery now before it is truly too late." he said while putting a comforting hand on Scarlet's shoulder while some bystanders ran out of the church, ignoring Lucian's confusion and horror.

Like a vicious contestant on America's Next Top Model or one of those shitty dating "reality" series, Scarlet pimp-slapped the ******** out of the priest's hand, refusing to let one who advocated Lucian's death even in such a platonic manner. "What kind of priest tells people they can't be saved?! You're not killing him!" Before he could respond, Scarlet reached over for Lucian's hand so that she might be able to bolt with him out the door and hopefully out the church. She would think about the implications of what just occured later, but for now, Scarlet had to make sure that Lucian would be safe.

Between the priest's words and Scarlet suddenly yanking him up, Lucian found himself unable to react. He stumbled, literally running along blindly as he was pulled along by Scarlet, the priest's rantings about his lost soul fading into the distance and merging with the chattering townsfolk around them. At least his headache seemed to be going away. It seemed like the more they traveled and the more answers they went looking for the more questions he had.

Scarlet did not relent for a single moment, refusing to stop in her tracks until they were out of town and officially safe from anyone harming Lucian for the moment being. She didn't care what no stupid priest said. She wasn't about to let them hurt him. No. He was the only friend she had. He didn't deserve to be cut down like some animal for dinner.

Lucian had lost track of how far they'd run. What direction were they going in? Was anyone chasing them? Were they even still inside the city? Eventually his blindness got the better of him, making Lucian trip over himself and fall forwards, pulling Scarlet down with him.

{They still in town or no?}
Scarlet let out a yelp as Lucian's tripping brought both him and herself to the ground. She didn't waste time in trying to squirm upward with her friend.

((Let's say just barely out of town.))
Lucian had a bit of trouble getting to his feet and winced upon finally doing so. "I...think I sprained my ankle." he tried to keep going though as he could hear the clanking of armor growing closer.

"s**t." Scarlet didn't normally swear, but this was a particularly trying situation to be in. "I...I'm going to carry you!" she suddenly announced, scrambling to get to her feet and try and do just that. Whether she would be able to carry him far at all though remains to be seen.

"W-what?!" Lucian looked rather shocked when Scarlet tried to lift him up. He could hear the guards' shouting now and Scarlet could probably see them heading for the town gate by now. "You'll never lose them if you try to carry me. Look, just go! I'll just tell them who my parents are and they might be able to get me out of this mess."

"No." Scarlet wouldn't even entertain the thought. "If nothing else, we should find somewhere to hide." she murmured, trying to keep her tone quiet enough for only Lucian to hear. Perhaps if she were lucky, she would quickly find some sort of crevice or hole or spaceous bush to hide in?

"They're only after me! If you insist on staying they'll hurt you too and I don't want that to--!" Lucian was interrupted with a cry of pain when an arrow suddenly struck him in the back.
"This is your last warning, girl! Drop the devil and we won't have to kill you too for aiding a creature of the damned!" The guards stopped nearby, lined up and ready with a row of archers aimed them.

"I eat imps for breakfast and wrestle dire bears for sport. What the HELL makes you think I'll leave you to die at the hands of these wimps? Just stay quiet, I've got a plan." Scarlet murmured before looking over to the guards for several moments, looking like she was contemplating their command. She then suddenly burst off in another direction as quickly as her feet would carry her, running in zig-zags to make hitting her more difficult.
