Middle Earth: Many Meetings

[ColletteTook]

Collette rode after Jecht, her small,fat pony being cwarfed by his stallion.
"You neednt spend your time alone. I f we are going this far as a company, we should bw a bit more social" she smiled, handing him a muffin(( yes, yes if you havent noitced i have an estranged obsession with muffins....))
The sun glowed ren against the hills by the end of the late day.
The rode towards it, shielding their eyes against the glaring menace as night took them slowly.
After making a campfire, Collette made herself busy by sharpening her dagger-sword close to the fire.

[Judge Simon]

They had decided on a spot not too far off the road to make camp for night. Collette had started up a fire and set to sharpening a small sword. Jecht smiled a little as he ties his horse off to a nearby tree. He walked slowly to the fire and stood across from Collette with the fire in between them.
Jecht-Nice sword
Collette-Thanks, I've had it forever. A good friend gave it to me.
Jecht nodded and pulled out his own sword. It was long and a bit curved.
Collette-Nice sword, bit big isn't it? Any good with it?
Jecht looked at it a bit as it reflected the firelight.
Jecht-We'll soon see, won't we?[he said resheathing it] ever seen Mordor?

"MMM. I have seen many places. Mirkwood,Gondor, Edoras and the fair land of Rohan, and even the ruins of Rivendell now that the elves have left. But not Mordor. My aimless wandering i believed would never lead me to such a place, and it never has until now." She said, trying out the blade with the tip of her thumb.
A steady stream of blood began to creep from her skin, as the flesh turned crimson. She grinned maniacally, the scars upon her hands showing that this type of testing her blade had become somewhat of habit to her.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise knew Jecht was troubled no matter what he said. It seemed he had no reason to live by the way he spoke of himself. She said nothing though and sat down by the fire to watch the others. She saw Collette testing the sharpness of her blade as her blood trickled down. Thengise almost cringed at the sight. She saw Jecht resheathing his sword. Thengise took one of Collette's muffins as the hobbit offered on to her. Then she walked over to Jecht. "You have so much to live for,"Thengise said softly before disappearing into the woods. She often walked among the trees, beneath the stars at night.

[Judge Simon]

He watched as Thengise slipped silently into the woods and he felt a stirring in his soul. He thought that he long since lost his. Jecht took a look around the camp. Everything seemed to be safe and ok. Jecht stood up and followed Thengise. The night was silent the stars shown with brilliance in the heavens. He placed his feet carefully trying not to make a lot of noise when he stepped. Though every noise he did make sounded to him like a gong. Then he saw her. She was walking a little ahead of him and seemed to be admiring the stars. She was so beautiful, he thought. But she always had been. He stepped closer and Thengise saw him.
Thengise-Do you believe what I told you?
Jecht- Its hard to...
Thengise-It shouldn't be.
Jecht walked over to her
Jecht-Sometimes when life continually beats you down over and over again, it makes it hard to think that I do...
Thengise stepped closer to him and put her hand around the back of his neck
Thengise-Sometimes life is like that...
Jecht looked deeply into her eyes
Jecht-I've always thought you were beautiful and now I can see the inner beauty in you as well.
Jecht drew Thengise close and kissed her. The stars shown with a particualar brillance that night.

[ColletteTook]

<< im on the phone with thengise. She cant get on the computer so she is replying through me.>>

THENGISE: Thengise wondered at this feeling as she returned the kiss, many thoughts running through her mind at once.
She drew away, with tears in her eyes." im engaged!" she breathed, and backed away weeping.

[ArwenBaggins]

Thorn sat gazing at the fire, lost in thought.

"I can't believe I'm going to Mordor. my Adar would reject it with out question. But even if I do die, no one would care. I'm unwanted."

She looked at the little adventurous hobbit Collete.

"Is that your sword that you're sharpening?" Collete bobbed her head yes and handed Thorn a muffin.

[Judge Simon]

OoC- Well there goes my whole attempt at being romantic...just kidding [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

--BiC--

Jecht put his hand to his forehead...he should have remembered. He looked over to Thengise who was weeping. He heart began to ache. He walked over to her and led her over to a rock on which they sat.
Jecht-Shh, don't cry, I was...out of line...I'm sorry,..I shouldn't have done what I did.[He held Thengise in his arms as she cried into his shoulder, he felt her warm tears come through his cloak] You need not fear, I won't tell any one what happened.[Jecht rested his head on top of her's and waited for her speak]

[ September 08, 2002: Message edited by: Judge Simon ]

[ColletteTook]

<< she still cant gt online.......*SIGH* so she is talking through me once more....>>


THENGISE: "Its not you." she sobbed. "HE IS AWFUL! ABSOLUETLY AWFUL AND I HATE HIM!" she cried, meaning her fiance.
She pulled up her sleeves and showed him purple welts that had sprung up across her arms that were lain upon many scars and bruises.
" did you ever wonder why i run from home so much?" she asked quietly.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht ran a hand though her hair and she looked up at him.
Jecht-I'm sorry, I never knew
Jecht took one of her arms into his hand and he ran his other over it. He brought her arm up to his lips and he kissed it. He felt her other hand lift up his chin. She had stopped her tears although the old tears remained and she spoke softly to him
Thengise-I will stay with you until the end
Jecht silently nodded as Thengise brought her face to his. Then the was a sound that came from behind them. Jecht immediately stood up, moving away from Thengise. And she covered her arms. It was...

[ColletteTook]

Collette, stood in front of them musing and wondering wheather to laugh or frown.
She knew exactly what was happening.
"Should we leave soon?" she asked innocently, indicating the rising sun. They had been up all night talking...and kissing [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] .
She put her hands on her hips and giggled as they muttered, embarrassed, stumbling to get up and move.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht slowly walked back to camp. He didn't say anything to Thengise, for he was far too embarrased. Was Jecht blushing? The fire had been put out and the rest of the party looked ready to go. They saddled up and took off into the forest.

[ColletteTook]

Collette kept riding up between Thengise and Jecht throughout the day, giving them immature wins and childish looks and then falling behind.
After only two hours of riding, they began to tire of her childish antics, and become annoyed. Collette got the message right away and fell behind,( to their horror) began gossiping with Faye, whilst chewing on provision.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht-[laughing]Your friend is absolutly insane...
Thengise-Yeah thats what keeps her interesting!
Jecht looked on down into the forest. He still knew this part of the woods.
Jecht-Hey, theres a town coming up ahead, if we cut up that way...Its pretty big and the taverns there are quite good, what say we stop up there for a while?

OoC-Collette I fixed the post...you might want to check it out

[ColletteTook]

<< you know how many people tell me im insane a day?? anyhoo, gots to go eat dinner i will be on in half an hour k? TOOTLES! mmm muffins and mushroom soup tinight....typical>>

Collette mused at their backs for a while before ruining their peaceful moment by complaining loudly for lunch.
Sighing, Thengise pulled over off the path and began to hand out sandwiches.

[Judge Simon]

Seeing as the town was out of the question as Thengise was passing out the bunch of sandwiches to Collette and the rest, Jecht took to wandering. He wasn't going far, just a little was into the forest. He had someone on his mind. He didn't care if she was engaged, that man didn't deserve her. The part of the forest they were in reminded he greatly of mirkwood. While he appeared to be human the inside of him was all elf. He had sung when he was younger and now he would sing again, though it had been many years, his voice was still in tune...
Jecht-Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
...Jecht had turned and there stood Thengise who had heard him apprently, who then also began to sing...
Thengise-Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Jecht&Thengise-Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
Thengise-It all revolves around you
Jecht&Thengise-And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Jecht-Oh, come what may,
Thengise-come what may
Jecht-I will love you,
Thengise-I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Jecht&Thengise-Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

...The song was finished, it was their song, Jecht knew that his life had changed forever, ever since the day back in the pub when he first caught fleeting glimpes of her. Her eyes shown like the stars. He loved her....

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise looked at Jecht with admiration in her eyes. She completely forgot about Eldarion and his beatings as she gazed into Jecht's eyes. Her life had never felt more complete. She felt so right as she stood there and grabbed a hold of both of his hands as they faced each other.

"You are what my heart desires,"Thengise said softly. "And you are what mine desires,"Jecht replied. Thengise let go of one of Jecht's hands and ran her fingers down his face. She moved closer to him, so that her mouth was in front of his ear. "I love you,"she whispered into it before moving to his lips as she kissed him once more. Her heart seemed to skip a beat as she felt the warmth of his lips.

[ September 10, 2002: Message edited by: Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood ]

[ColletteTook]

Collette poked her head around a tree and giggled madly.
Thengise pulled away and grinned. "what are you up to my insane little clap?"
(thats three).
" what are YOU up to????????" she grinned. Thengise sighed and went away once more with Jecht to cosily consult a map.
Their wonderful relationship made her think sadly of te shire, and wonder to herself if he was looking for her like he promised....oh well;
It was possible she may never find out.
She saddled up her pony and readied herself to leave with a faltering smile upon her face, but never the less, a smile.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht was filled with a happiness that could never be described in words. He knew that he would be in terrible trouble with the man that Thengise was to marry, but he didn't care. Their love was greater than that. He watched as Thengise got to her horse and then rode down the forest trail with Collette. jecht smiled and got to his own horse. Mordor wasn't far away, he thought, a day or two more and they would be there...

OoC-To Collette:You're my best buddy too! Woo Hoo [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise jumped onto her white horse. She was also filled with happiness as she thought of Jecht, but then her hapiness faltered as she thought of Eldarion. I will not marry him! They cannot make me, she thought happily to herself. She looked around to see the woods becoming darker as they drew closer to Morder. Thengise began to fear what lay ahead of them, especially now that she had so much to live for. She turned to see Jecht riding beside her and blushed at seeing Collette giving her an evil grin. Life was now so complete yet she was about to risk it all in war.

OoC- AWW!! We're all just a great big family!! hehe [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ColletteTook]

As the days passed, The terrain grew darker and rockier with each mile. They reached a line of black, rugged mountains one evening and Jecht bid them to let the horses go (NoOo NOT MY BUBBA! *sob*)
As, they wouldnt be much use for the rest of the trip unless they ran out of food.
An interesting idea, Collette thought, and as they began to hike, she was filled with the thoughts of what grilled horse would taste like....
It began to rain. The water looked black like the clouds that swirled angrily above them, And in the hot air, the rain felt neither cool nor refreshing, but hot and sticky and uncomfortable.
" Are we in Mordor?" She whispered to her companions.
They rounded over a rocky 'hill'. "Its right there.." Replied Jecht, as they observed the Dark terrain with gloominess. Collette felt the hope drain from her.

[ArwenBaggins]

Thorn looked into the rugged waste Jecht called Mordor.

"Mordor." She says to herself.

Collette ia atanding next to her wide-eyed, and Thorn chuckles.

"At least I have three friends." She trailed off as the wind overtook her voice.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht looked on the terrian with jaded eyes. He had been here before, and he all too quickly come back.
Jecht-We won't go any further into Mordor, not so defenseless. We are to march with the army of Gondor. We must first travel to the White Tower, not far from here.[there was ice in his voice, joy and mirth were swept from him, they had been swept away with the wind of Mordor]
They traveled to the great tower and were accepted warmly. They felt a bit safer here but not much. Jecht had greaat worry in the back of his mind. Thengise was to wed the heir of Aragorn...he had to be haunting the streets somewhere....

[ColletteTook]

<< you know, you and thengise....its kinda like Moulin Rouge.....with the duke...(prince) and the lowly writer....(captain falling for a cortizan (princess) OoO! what a coincidence!>>

As they waited for the army to assemble, they had the joy of seeing the great city of Man.
Collette spent most of her time gettin thengise and Jecht out of trouble though.
Many a time, Eldarion wuold be walking down the hall in which they were sharing little songs and kisses, forcing Collette to run after the concieted prince who had given Collette the nickname (to her dismay and anger) "Little Rat".
She followed him constantly, borbarding him with questions of absoluetly no relavence as to disract him away from the lovers, and give them a chance to hide.
There was of course, the occasional time when they could not hide in time and Collette was forced to quickly stumble and begin to fake-wail in "pain" or when near a painting or expensive vase during the crisis, she would break it to draw attention away from them.

[Judge Simon]

Although Jecht was happy here in Gondor the threat of Mordor was growing even more present. It was one night while Jecht was in the soldier barracks, that he recieved the news he was to march out against Mordor in the morning. He felt like hitting the man who had brought him the message. Jecht went and laid down on his cot and fell into an uneasy sleep of the past...

Begin dream:
in the dream Jecht is back home in Mirkwood,he is in the bloom of youth but a long scar had already marred his face. Even though he is younger than most, Jecht has already risen to the rank of captain. Apparently there is a big ceremony about to begin and Jecht and some of his top soldiers are on guard.
Jecht-Fan out over there a bit[to random soldiers, until his commanding officer walks up]
Commander-You've done well, Jecht.
Jecht-Thankyou Sir
Commander-Your father would have been proud!
Jecht-Thanks...Sir[as he looks away towards the sound of trumpets and a younger Thengise and her father walk past]
A bright white flash occurs in his dream and now There is a younger Jecht unmarred by a scar, he angry and arguing with who appears to be his father...
Jecht-I never can do anything good enough for you can I Father?!
Bergild-You aren't my son, you half breed!
Jecht-I am just as skilled as you are, old man!
Bergild-Insolence[Jecht's father quickly drew a long silver sword and slashed upwards at Jecht's face, dream Jecht screams as does the real Jecht who wakes up]
Jecht sat up quickly and was breathing hard, the barracks was dark and at first he thought he was alone until he heard a voice in the dark...
Thengise-Shh, you mustn't scream so[she leaned in and kissed him.]
Jecht-Thengise, you shouldn't be here, what if you get caught, he will beat you. I can't bear you to be in pain, for what is my doing...
Thengise-But is not just your doing.

[ColletteTook]

Collette awoke the next morning, and put on a mail shirt over her tunic and donned breeches that were obviosly stolen and piled her hair into a helmet.
She looked like a young hobbit lad, indeed if Pippin Gamgee could see her now she would be his twin...
Jecht and Thengise also sauntered in, their hands secretly entwined between them.
"Hopefully we shall all see eachother bfore or after this is over." Said Collette doubtfully, slipping her faded cloak about her shoulders.
" We will" said Thengise. She too sounded a bit doubtful.
Jecht turned to her and begged "Please say you will stay here and be safe." he said to her.
"I will not." she said stubbornly.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht-I don't want you marching off to death!
Thengise-I don't want you to either!
Jecht sighed he knew there was no changing her mind now. Some soldiers called for him to go. Jecht looked around to make sure there was no one around that didn't already know about them and he gave Thengise a kiss on the cheek and then left quickly with out looking back. If he only knew. He marched out and faced the terror of Mordor that day. It was growing darker, Jecht had sustained many wounds but his energy was nearly spent. AS he was fighting a group of orcs surrounded him, he took his sword and cut into and orc, but one came from behind. The orc plunged a blade deep into his side. He turned to look at the orc. The orc had begun to laugh and then stopped as it noticed it had a blade in his side as well. It was to be the last blade Jecht drew. Jecht fell to the bloodstained ground, he felt his breath growing shorter, and then he heard a blare of trumpets and the shouts of men, reinforcements had come. jecht smiled, the battle wasn't lost, they would win, he only hoped Thengise was safe. He wished that he had said goodbye, here at the end of all things...

OoC: Ok don't panic too much, I hope you guys will back track what I did and add your own events as to what happened it battle, and to spefically Collette and Thengise, I don't want any battlefield ressurections of Jecht, I don't know what I'm going to do with him yet...

[ColletteTook]

<< NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO! *bites Judge Simon for being evil* ARRGH!>>

Meanwhile back at the ranch....( sorry ive always wanted to say that)

Collette and Thengise were getting ready to go into battle, after being anxiously inspected and passed as men.
Torrents of battle had already begun many miles away.
" Wonder what Jechts doing?" Asked Collette, just as he was being stabbed those many miles from Thengises protective grasp.
'Hmmm..." Thengise said, thouroughly anxious and frightned. They marched head on head with an upcoming wave of foul-smelling orcs. 'Here we go" she muttered before launching herself into the sea of mass killing.
Collette pulled from a sheath on each side of her, One highly-polished and blunt sword that had a loopy cut C.T on it.
The other had a forest green handle and was very curved on either edge with a very edged carving M.G on it... She launched herself upon the back of an orcs and slashed with both hands.

[Judge Simon]

OoC-AHHGG! AHHGG! I'VE BEEN BITTIN BY A HOBBIT!! I'VE GOT HOBBIT GERMS! GET HOT WATER! GET SOME IODINE! AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
**falls over in fit of laughter before being kicked by Collette for being evil**

Hey! That Me! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

OoC: hehe! You guys crack me up! To set things straight you are both evil!! I'm just a good little elf!! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] looks can be deceiving.

Thengise walked forward with Collette into Mordor. "Here we go,"Collette had muttered before drawing her sword. Thengise took out her bow and had her quiver full of arrows. She painfully looked at the orcs that stood onlt a few feet before them. Thengise could only think of Jecht as she drew back the string of her bow. She released the string, which sent the arrow flying into an orc's chest. Thengise was now at the heart of the war as she continuously reached for an arrow with quick spead. Her face was scarred from arrows that had just missed her, yet had managed to scrape against her face as they went flying. Her armor was dented from being struck by spears. Her arm grew tired with every arrow she sent flying. With every falling orc she searched for Jecht, yet she had found no luck so far.

[Judge Simon]

OoC-oh, whatever Thengise! You're just as evil as I am...no more time to post now but willl later... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[Judge Simon]

Jecht watched weakly as the battle raged on. He looked down at his side the blade was still stuck in him, he had tried to remove it eariler, but it wouldn't move. The skin around the blade had turned black and every breath he took caused great pain. And then through the smokey hase Jecht saw her. She was lightly scarred from battle, but they would heal. Thengise was fighting with a fury, and once he saw her he smiled a small smile. He tried to talk, to call out to her, but all that came out was whispers
Jecht-Come what may...Thengise, I have loved you...until my dying day...[Jecht took a deep breath and then he felt his eyes roll into the back of his head as he let it out and passed into unconsciousness.

,<< ARGH! *bites Judge Simon again for being doubly evil* im not replying until your alive...HMPH!>>

[Judge Simon]

**walks in with dirty soccer gear on, and had an arm and leg bandaged from all the darn hobbit bites he's got**

OoC-How the heck am I supposed to play tonight with you biting me all the darn time? I never said Jecht was dead! I'm going to step on you with my cleats on if you keep it up! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise turned to see a large army of elves headed towards them. She pulled back on her bow before sending an arrow flying into an orc before turning back again to find her father leading the army. The elves of Mirkwood were coming forth into battle. Thengise's heart rejoiced to see her father even though she knew he would be angry if he happened to recognize her. Thengise turned back to the orc army once more and continued to fight. Her arm had grown very sore. She now felt pain everytime she drew back her bowstring. The elves were now at her sides with the rest of the men. As the elves forced the orcs to retreat a bit Thengise saw a figure on the floor. It was no orc, but a man at that. She ran towards the body as she recognized Jecht's face. Thengise dropped to her knees beside Jecht. He was still alive, yet he was barely hanging on as he lay unconscious. "Hold on, Jecht. Don't give up. I love you, don't leave me now,"she whispered as tears rolled down her face.

[Judge Simon]

The battle still raged. Jecht wasn't sure if he was alive or dead until he heard the voice of his beloved. He opened his eye slowly and saw her there. He was to weak to speak to her, so he just took in her beauty. Then Jecht saw a massive orc coming up behind her with a iron mace raised high in the air. Jecht summonded up his remaining strength and pushed himself up,Jecht pushe Thengise out of the way of the orc and he took his sword and struck down the orc. As the orc fell, he let the mace fall and it stuck Jecht. Jecht fell back to the ground as Thengise rushed back to him.
Jecht-Go[Jecht breathed heavily]Go now before its too late, save yourself from this hell.
Thengise-Not without you, I couldn't bear living without you.
Jecht-Stubborn Girl! Don't you see? There is no hope for me[Jecht let his head fall to the ground]
Thengise-Stupid Man![She said and there was tears in her voice] Even now, there is always hope! Get up[she said as she lifted Jecht to his feet] I love you Jecht, don't you ever forget that!
Jecht-I don't know if I ever could[kisses her]

Thengise found a horse that had lost his rider in battle, and together they mounted the horse and began to ride back to Minas Tirith. They found their compainions on the way and rode back through the city gates. The battle continued for many days, but the side of virtue won out and there was great rejoicing in the city, except in one corner of the great city, in the houses of healing, one remained near death. Although the doctors were able to remove the blade, the blackness and the wound remianed. Jecht still found breathing to be as painful as ever, and Thengise, when not forced from the side of Jecht's bed by her fiance, was constantly worried. Collette, was busy trying to keep Thengise calm, hoping that Jecht wouldn't give in and die. One day while Jecht was alone in his room a visitor came, but it wasn't Collette or Thengise, or any of his other compainions. It was a man that Jecht had only seen from a distance. It was Eldarion, Thengise's fiance.
Eldarion-How are you feeling today, Captian?
Jecht-Better, My lord
Eldarion-You make a poor liar, Captian, my love tells it differently to her friend.
Jecht loathed that fact he called Thengise his love
Eldarion-In fact, she says you are near death.
Jecht-Not too near death, My lord.
Eldarion-I came to thank you for bringing her back to me. She is very beautiful and I'd hate to lose her[He said stepping closer to Jecht, there was an air about him that made Jecht very wary] And to think, I almost did.
Jecht-War is very perilous, My lord.
Eldarion-I'm not talking about the war, captain. I'm talking about, you,[he was very close to Jecht now] Stay away from her, she is mine, its not that I'm a jealous man, I just don't like other people touching my things[he said as he pushed his hand into Jecht's wound. Jecht gritted his teeth, not wanted to give Eldarion the pleasure of him screaming] I'd invite you to the wedding, Captain[He said moving away from Jecht and back towards the door] but you know, my love might get all emotional at the sight of you. Good day, and feel better.

Eldarion left. Jecth was seething with hatered, he wouldn't stand by and see Thengise subcome to such a fate...

[ColletteTook]

<< *sigh* OKAAAAY I WILL REPLY NOW.im happy.>>


Collette was busy sauntering about, her hair pulled back in a ribbon once more. Anyone who knew her would know that this meant her mind was busy inventing things to wreak havoc and mayhem.
She heard shrieks erupt in one of the Rooms.and recognized them as thengise's.
Running in she observerd the scene. Eldarion had just finished pummeling her, and held her in check by her hair, which had been done up in a long braid. "I am you FINACE!" he roared. "And you will respect me and OBEY me!"
Thengise sobbed and tryed to reply, but couldnt.
"STOP IT!" Collette roared loudly from the door, and charged Eldarion like a whineded Rhino.
After tackling him, she got a few lucky punches, giving him a broken nose and a swollen cheek, but the shrieks had drawn guards to them, that quickly pulled Collette off and took her away.
An offense like that was often the penalty of death.

[Judge Simon]

OoC-can't see me! **limps off to hide**

--BiC--

Jecht couldn't take just laying around any more. He slowly sat up and tried to fight back the pain. He clutched the side of the table and got to his feet shakily. Jecht tried to walk around a bit but found he couldn't with out the aid of a wooden staff. Then he heard the shouts of Collette from down the hall.
Collette-Oh sure, you'll stand by and let him beat her, but when some one tries to do the right thing you through them into prison, oh I get it!
Jecht had an idea as to what happened. He limped out into the hall and called to the guards.
Jecht-Where do you think you're going?
Soldier-Oh, captain, didn't expect to see you up and about, This little traitor is to be sent to the prison.
Jecht-Why[he asked in an authoritative tone]
Soldier-She attacked the heir.
Jecht-[sighs] Let her go, she meant no harm
Collette-[under breath] like hell I didn't.
Soldier-Well alright, but my Lord won't be happy with this.[he let Collette go and she follwed Jecht as he went back to his room]

Jecht went and sat in a chair by the window and looked out on to one of themany courtyards
Collette-Thanks
Jecht-Don't mention it[he said, not turning to look at her, but stared out the window looking grave]

[ColletteTook]

Collette frowned up at him.
"He knows, Jecht. I heard them talking. That is why he hit her. You two should go into hiding together or something...I swear if she has to marry that monster...Im just gonna bite him....<<OoC: Yeah i tend to do that when im angry...>>
Bite him until his legs are severed......

[Judge Simon]

Jecht-I knew that Collette, he was in my room earlier. He said that I should leave, and forget her.

Collette looked appalled
Jecht-But I won't, and I won't hide either, it is not in my blood to run away and hide. I doubt it is in Thengise either. She would fight just as soon as I would.
Collette-D**n your foolish pride, Jecht! Go away with Thengise and live a happy life.
Jecht-You would have me run?[he said as he forced himself to his feet]
Collette-Yes[she said in an exasperated tone, she took a breath and calmed down]...yes, Jecht, I would. For Thengise's sake and your own.
