If that was Maria herself and Anice got caught with a slave destined for the brothel before she talked to father there would be no end to the price she might pay. Anice suddenly looked pale as if she was about to faint. But the vehicle appeared to continue on to the brothel and it was probably not close enough for its occupants to easily see her and Alex. Anice grabbed his hand as if it was urgent.<br/><br/>"We have to hurry or I won't be allowed to keep you!"<br/><br/>Anice and Alex to the Manor? -------------------&gt;<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>As Alex finished his meal he saw than Anice was beginning to stand up.  Taking his last bite, he pushed his chair back to stand as well, but stopped dead when he saw Anice sit back down immediately.  He followed her gaze and noticed a rather nice car going by.  He winced slightly, someone hadn't taken the best care of the engine, though it would be hard to notice.  His slight amusement was gone however when he noticed how pale Anice had gone.  Whoever owned that car seemed to scare the crap out of the girl, who herself seemed to scare the crap out of the ship's crew.  He made a note of the vehicle, wishing he had been able to see it's occupants.<br/><br/>When she grabbed his hand, he stood up immediately with her.  It certainly sounded like going with her and seeing her father would result in a better fate than the 'Bed & Breakfast' she had mentioned.  A shiver ran through him when she mentioned keeping him, but her urgency soon drained away all else.<br/><br/>"A... alright."  He shifted a bit in his new clothes, he wasn't used to the feel of good clothes like this, but it certainly made him look less out of place.  Still, a part of him just wanted to be virtually invisible, like he always had been, but he was quickly gathering that no one was invisible in this place.  He followed Anice, hoping that her confidence in her father was founded enough to outweigh whoever it was that worried her so much.<br/><br/>Anice and Alex to the Manor. ------------------->
