Our Roleplay's Better Than Yours (1x1)

[Fuhrer Kay]

((AGES: Alaric - 16 / Wilhelm - 9))

Wilhelm walked quietly through the forest, eyes scanning the foliage around him. "Quiet..."

[Elli]

Alaric gazed down at Wilhelm from a sturdy branch in a tree. One more step.... just a step closer. He thought, just waiting for the perfect time. It did not take long for Wilhelm to take that last step, landing him into the perfect position.

Without making a sound, Alaric jump from his position in the tree, onto Wilhelm, knocking him to the ground, and quickly placing a dagger to Wilhelm's neck.

"Don't move."

[Fuhrer Kay]

((Alaric? Really?))

Wilhelm's arm shot out in front of him, dulling the impact to the ground. His knees landed on a fallen branch, and he winced as a shot of pain flitted throughout his thigh. A breath let out, creating a web of mist in front of him. Before Wilhelm had a chance to cry out in pain, a knife was at his throat, and the cry caught.

"Who-?"

[Elli]

((No, not really! I named him Bob))

"It doesn't matter 'who'. What I want to know is why are you here?" Alaric kept his voice firm and steady.

He could tell that the fall had harmed whoever he had knocked down. He checked his arm and the knife that is attached to it. Not too much pressure to actually break the skin, but enough that the man could feel it. Just like he was trained.
((Blech... sorry, bad post.))

[Fuhrer Kay]

Wilhelm's whole body shook as he suddenly tried to wiggle out from under his captor. "Let me go!" he exclaimed, his voice breaking in his panic.

[Elli]

Alaric looked down at the boy in disdain, not allowing his arm to move an inch. "Give me one good reason that I should let you go."

[Fuhrer Kay]

Wilhelm wiggled some more, kicking at the other boy. "I haven't done anything to yo-" he started before Alaric's eyes caught his own. "You're..."

[Elli]

Alaric looked at the boy for a moment. "I'm what?" He did not recognize the boy at all.

[Fuhrer Kay]

"Alaric?"

[Elli]

Alaric was taken aback for a moment. "Ho- how do you know my name?"

[Fuhrer Kay]

"I thought... I thought you were long gone... Where did you go? Why did you leave?" he asked, words spilling from his mouth.

[Elli]

Alaric looked down at the strange boy. "What do you mean? This is the first time I have ever seen you kid. If you think that the whole 'I know you' trick is going to work on me, you are dead wrong."

[Fuhrer Kay]

Wilhelm looked as if he had been cut deep... emotionally, at least. "But... Alaric-"

[Elli]

Alaric glared down at the boy and pushed a little harder. "Listen, I don't know how you know my name, but this has to stop... now." He paused, "tell me why you are here. And who sent you."

[Fuhrer Kay]

"My mum sent me, I swear!" Wilhelm exclaimed at once, pushing to try and get up. "We need kindling for the fire!"

[Elli]

Alaric looked at the boy for a moment and then decided that he was telling the truth. "You may go, but you shouldn't be out here this far with no defense training or a weapon. These are dangerous times."

[Fuhrer Kay]

"Dangerous, yes, but also expensive. I have no money for a weapon."

[Elli]

Alaric shook his head, "Then make your own. Even a feeble weapon is something to protect yourself." Alaric shook his head to remove the feeling he had that had been nagging at him in the back of his mind.

[Fuhrer Kay]

"...Why did you leave?" Wilhelm asked, looking up at Alaric.

[Elli]

Alaric looked at the boy incrediously, "what do you mean leave where? I am at my station where I have been assigned."
