Erin ignored Markus. "I didn't kidnap him," she said as she sat down on the motheaten couch, throwing her arm behind the back of it. "He tried to jump over The Rift." That's what they all called it around here. Either The Rift or The Gap.
"And now what are we going to do with him?" the man hissed. "He's the Crowned Prince for heaven's sake!"
"Holding him for ransom."
"Erin!"
She stood up. "Think about it, Julian. How much would the King pay for his son back? I've been in the treasury, I know how much is there. Think about how many more people we could help. We'd finally be able to pay for your sister."
Julian's expression changed, as if he was seriously considering it. -
Markus then thought about it and decided to do something else to get him out of this. He said "Before you consider that, think about this. My father did all of this to this city. What's to stop him from completely leveling it just to get me back?"
-
"Because if he decided to do that you'll be dead by the time his men get here," Erin glared. Even though he had just been dragged miles, he still looked clean. He and her looked almost completely different. His blonde hair compared to her black, his clean face and hands and her dirty face and grimy hands, a fancy suit and her worn out cloak, he a Royal, and she pure scum.
-
Markus thought for a moment. He didn't count on that and said "Okay, I see your point. But don't think I'm just gonna sit here and be your prisoner."
-
"For someone who always gets his way you've actually been much more cooperative than I expected," Erin said. She grabbed a length of rope and started binding his wrists together.
-
Markus said "You put knifes near anyone's face, you'll get no arguments from them. Any idiot will tell you that." He then saw what Erin was doing and said "Hey, what's coming off? You can't bind me like that. I'm not your prisoner."
-
"You want to be treated like a prisoner you will be," Erin said. "So far it seems as if you want to. Anyway, I can't have you running off to who knows where."
-
"What made you think that? I've said nothing that indicates that. And if you really don't want me to leave then lock everything." Markus retorted.
-
Erin didn't tell him that the few locks that anyone had on a door were very weak, not including a few she had stolen to keep loot in. "Well, you're our prisoner now whether you like it or not."
-
Markus just growled and then pouted. He sat down forcibly with his arms crossed and an angry expression on his face.
-
After tying up his wrists Erin started doing the legs. She hoped he wouldn't kick her or anything, considering how much power he had in his legs.
-
Markus complained "Did you have to tie my legs? Did you really have to? How am I supposed to get something to eat or go to the bathroom?"
-
"There isn't anything to eat," Erin said truthfully. The next part was said more on the sarcastic side. "My sincerest apologies if your royal stomach can't handle the thought of eating breakfast in the morning."
-
Markus just showed a confused look on his face and said "What does breakfast have to do the bathroom? And how can you have breakfast when there's no food?"
-
(Shoot meant to say not eating breakfast)
"Anyway, we have plenty of rope for the bathroom, but there's no way to escape through there, so don't bother trying anything," Erin said.
