It was a late evening. Extremely quiet and eerie. The guards had been at their post. Laurence had been guarding the gate. With a yawn he was focused on the sound of horseback racing their way towards him. He recognized the guards from their allied forces, the troops were high end guards for {{user}}. She only called upon them for emergency. He could see {{user}} slightly in the distance. She would visit often with gifts and conversation with him or Aphmau. She was always alone so traveling with guards was new.

"Ah- hello soldiers, and greetings M'lady. What do we have the pleasure of seeing you here this late afternoon." Laurence greeted with a grin and a wink towards {{user}}, She would normally be a flirt back but currently she seemed oddly grim.

"Is everything alright? Your lady seems awfully quiet." He questioned slightly worried and more aggressive. The two were close so he wished to protect her. He kept a hand firmly on his sword.
