Cart Pushing (Easy Quest)

Lilian really disliked the method Miss Marzipan was using. It was very unheroic and a poor example of being the better person. Lilian just had to say something as Miss Lavian headed off on her own. The heroine was starting to pick up on the fact that the cat woman preferred to work alone.

"MIss Marzipan, I think you are being overly harsh. Someone is less likely to change their ways if even after defeat they are mistreated. I understand the situation but I think the man can learn from our example."

The girl of justice preached as they walked. She looked at the bandit and saw him turn back and grin at her with his missing teeth. Maybe this way was better 'shiver'. Lilian turned her head away from him quickly.

"I hope the caravan goods are safe."

She said to change the topic.

So everything seemed peachy, which... well... seemed unusual to the huntress. Often when things like this went wrong, they did so horribly. But Lavian was a naturally suspicious person. Still, she had a course of action, she would act on it. Stay in the shadows, stay out of sight - and hopefully out of mind. She sighed, bending on one knee as she lowered her spear-bearing arm close to ground level. Really, if nothing was going to happen she might just be tempted to leave here and now. Even with the promise of coin to be had.

Really, that hero-girl was a piece of work. How did she survive in life being that naive? She would've been dead already if she were raised on the streets. Actually, on that note, did she actually ever deal with adversity in the past? Her world view was so... narrow and slanted that Lavian couldn't believe anyone could be that way unless there were external forces acting to create an environment that would promote her to develop that mindset.

Either way, she was letting this affect her too much. She had a job and Marzipan's safety was paramount about the would-be-hero's. She needed to keep her eyes peeled for threats and any new interlopers so she could foil any potential ambush.

 

Lilian flinched as the bunny girl stabbed the bandit. This was so against her code. There were other ways to make a enemy cooperate. Such as giving them the promise of a shorter prison sentence. The young girl believed that even these kinds of men had some degree of common sense. Only the truly evil and terribly inhumane warranted more extreme measures. They were just thieves.

The heroine made her way to the caravan and made that her focus. Taking a moment to figure out how they all were doing. She turned and placed her fists on her hips. She spoke to Miss Marzipan and Miss Lavian with a accomplished look.

"I will stay and escort these citizens. Will you accompany me or move on ahead and let the merchant know we have successfully found and protected the caravan?"

 

While her lack of faith in people in general was something that crippled her ability to actually enjoy the company of people, sometimes it paid off. From her position perched on top of a ruined building she could see them coming. A group of two six-man teams coming in from either side. There was a barricade in the distance, in case the caravan made any attempt to break through. Rubbing the back of her nape, the huntress shifted the shaft of her weapon in her hand and stepped out of the shadows into the light.

Placing a pair of fingers between her lips she blew hard and loud to catch the attention of the merchants on the caravan. Marzipan would likely hear her clearly, given her prodigious ears. "Barricade up front. Turn right at the next right-hand corner, do not go straight!" she shouted with her hands cupped around her mouth. "Do not stop or you'll get pinned." with that said, Lavian quickly set about going into motion. Fortunately, she wasn't fighting with gravity so it was all downhill from here.

She'd be able to go through the cityscape using a series of parkour-like movements to come up beside the Hume-bunny, spear in hand. "Twelve people, two groups of six men. They're not well armed but I'd rather keep them all coming from the same direction than flanking us." she looked at Lilian, her expression stern. "Can you keep the caravan moving towards the city proper, they wouldn't chase you once you're that far in. You're trying to be a hero aren't you, then stick with the caravan. Keep the people from being harmed, I'll draw some of them to me or delay them."

"Don't worry about leaving me behind, I'm good at running away. We can regroup back at the market."
