The good news was that - apparently - they'd thwarted whatever the Vampires plans had been (unless this was some sort of elaborate ruse which, whilst not impossible, seemed excessively unlikely) without any great loss of life or face, and it seemed as if any further attempt on the train and the Ambassador - which seemed to be the true target, if the Vampire's actions had been any indication - would have to wade through a veritable army to get anywhere near it. Of course, as was almost always the case, the cavalry had arrived too late to actually be of any use in the fight itself, but then...that would be too easy, now wouldn't it? She didn't need all of these hoity toity fighter types hogging all her glory, and really, they hadn't actually needed them much at all. It was better late than never when it came to extra swords and beaks and shit, and if it meant that she got some breathing room, then so much the better! They had a captive, the cute little ambassador was unharmed, and they had an audience with their erstwhile employer! Things weren't actually as awful as Kiyoni had originally imagined the inevitable ambush to be, all things considered, and she'd only used nine of her bullets.<br/><br/>So what was the bad news? Well, with all the ruckus and the big important visitors and stuff, she reckoned it was likely that she wasn't gonna get much alone time with the cute ambassador. What? Yes, ok, the bad news didn't really stack up at all to the good news, but she never said it did, now did she? She'd been cooped up in the train for who knows how long, and after a good fighter, well...the adrenaline was kinda pumping! She needed to burn some of it off, and now that Astrid had her cute new toy, she wasn't about to be interested in<em>Kiyoni's</em>games until at least ten minutes after her new plaything broke! Though...come to think of it, Astrid might need to be supervised during that interrogation, just in case. She sometimes tended to go a little...overboard...in her interrogation tactics, and they wanted to be certain that she wasn't about to be getting away. Still...who knew what would happen? Though Penny had done well, she couldn't hide the faltering scowl at having been ignored; she'd done well in that fruckus, hadn't she?! Bah! What did it take to get a bit of recognition? First she was sidelined for the evenings entertainment in favor of that Blood-Sucking Whore, and now she was being ignored? Bah! Phooey! Oh, Astrid was getting the cold shoulder for this! Petty? Yes, very! But Kiyoni reserved the right to be petty<em>sometimes,</em>damnit!<br/><br/>Well! She'd just find her own entertainment and validation. She shouldered her musket - leaning the barrel across her shoulder and behind her head - and cast a sly grin at Antoine, a sly smile on her face.<strong>"Rewarded?"</strong>She purred softly,<strong>"Maybe you and I can discuss <em>my</em> reward in private later."</strong>She gave Antoine a sultry wink, then let out a low chuckle as she sauntered her way forwards as the train finally came to a stop, and the larger than life characters stepped forwards onto the train. She looked up at them - legends, both of them, and she wasn't ashamed to admit that a little bit of admiration and pleasure bloomed in her heart at seeing them doing well - and gave a cocky grin...that faltered when Astrid spoke again. She frowned, shooting her a concerned look.<strong>"Y' wanna take a <em>Vampire</em> within bitin' distance'a th' Crown Princess? 'Ve y' gone <em>mad?</em>"</strong>If she got free and their concentration slipped for just a minute...and what if she escaped afterwards, having heard all of their discussions? It was stupid.<br/><br/>They should leave her in the charge of the Knights, and come back for her later, shouldn't they? Vampires were tricky bastards, and even if bound, you should never take them anywhere you didn't want chaos breaking out, she knew that much! She glanced at the two knights.<strong>"'M ready t' meet her Highness, though. I got a complaint 'bout her choice'a Border Guards."</strong>She gestured to the Vampire with a cheeky grin. She paused for a moment, then, and glanced at Antoine and Astrid.<strong>"Oh, 'nd um...has anyone seen th' paper the Leech was tryin' t' make Ambassador Cutie read? 't might be import'nt."</strong>She cast her eye around, seeing if she could spot where it had fallen. It might be nothing...but since it was so flaming important to the leech that she had to get a hostage to read it out, it might very well be a key to figuring out who was behind all this shit in the first place. If there was another player out there that they'd just crossed, forewarned was forearmed, and being forearmed let y' shoot the dick in the face b'fore he stabbed y' in the back! Or somethin' like that.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">1) Kiyoni attempts to flirt with Antoine. <br/>Kiyoni Rolls Diplomacy: 1d20a16 Result: 31 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131391)<br/><br/>2) Kiyoni attempts to find any sign of where the paper the Vampire tried to make Antoine read might have fallen in the scuffle.<br/>Kiyoni Rolls Perception: 1d20a11 Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131392)<br/></div></div>
