A Tense Standoff, A Failed Escape Attempt

They're on a cave with a campfire in the center, a rabbit was being cooked, there, sat four people, one behind the coachman and the assistant, Reillana

And Ren in front of the two, and of course, Ren's horse and Reillana's on the side

-The assistant, Marcie. Pov-

Fck.. Fck..Fck..

I look slightly behind me, the lady staring into my soul, my hands trembled as I sat, my hands on my knees

I look over to the side, that nameless horse back on the estate's stables staring at my soul with those big black eyes

Ah.. scary.. take me away please..

I look over at the coachman, w-why is he dazing out? We're hostages, dimwit!

I sighed before lowering my head a bit, then I look at the coachman, C'mon, look at me so I could signal at you! We can grab the woods on the fire, point it on them, threaten them and run!

I followed his gaze, he was looking at Sir Ren who is now looking intensely at me, I looked down again

Meeting those eyes is intimidating enough to even have a glance again!

Then I heard the coachman clear his throat,

Are you giving me a signal to your plaaaaaaan?

-The coach man Pov, two minutes earlier-

When is this rabbit going to cook? Did he put enough seasoning on it? He better had bring some.

I looked over at him, he was eyeing the person beside me, Syrion's assistant,who just lowered his head. is this the good moment?

I cleared up my throat before I lifted my chin

"Did you bring some seasoning?"

There was a long, long, longggg silence, the three looking at me with suprise before someone's voice spoke

"Whaaaat?!" I flinched as the assistant looked at me with his eyes widen, his eyeball seems ready to pop out

"Why would you ask that, you dimwit!!" He grabbed my collar before Sir Ren grabbed his hand

"C'mon, stop it. The guy is probably hungry" he said

I am, super.

I smiled and nodded, then my tummy grumbled, the grumble sound echoed in the cave, like a dry thunderstorm just occured

I look down in embarassment, seeing as Sir Ren look down, biting his inside cheek, trying to suppress a laugh, and the assistant looking at me in dissapointment and the lady behind me who was barely holding back her laugh.

I fell silent again, and I felt the assistant hand on my shoulder, he must've known I feel embarassed, then I look up at him

"..Can I eat the rabbit now, right?"

The comfort of his hand dissapeared as he grip my shoulder tightly.
