Erik nodded, giving her a smile. She moved away, which he was fine with. After all, they were in very close quarters only a second ago. "I... take it you want to go to the library, huh?" he asked quietly. As much as he wanted to follow her, he knew he should be guarding his home. Of course, there might be the possibility of finding Gerard again, looking for Belle, but he wouldn't hurt him. Just scare him off. Just like all the others that had trespassed.<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>Gerard now understood that these men were just playing with him. Frustrated, he grabbed one of the men's gun and pushed past Gaston. "If you won't believe me, I'll go and rescue Belle myself." Not waiting for anyone to stop him, he headed off further into the woods, just far enough away that he wouldn't see the castle in the distance.
