Who: Guards at the Gate, A New Arrival, OPEN
What: Someone followed Az home
When: February 1st, 7 PM
Where: First blockade before the Royal Stables
No guards milled about this back entranceway to the Royal Stables, no one stood around in plain view, talking or smoking. That did not, however, mean that there were not many out of sight. Obvious security was better left for intimidation purposes, hidden security better for avenues where not many traveled. This one for instance, one call from an upper post to the men down below, and they surrounded the arriving individual.
They had been expecting the princess over a quarter day earlier, this stranger they had not been informed of. If any knew of the foreign horse and rider that walked up the wide path, eyes wide and alert.
The horse whinnied and came to a halt when the men stepped out, weapons at the ready. Nearly in unison, they blinked in surprise when they took in the details of their possible security risk. It was a girl, tiny, with wide dark eyes. Perched on a pony that looked too wild and powerful for her, and carrying several obvious weapons.
Oddly enough, her clothes were quite similar to what the Princess had trotted up in.
Ulrich turned over his shoulder, signaling to a man behind him. Someone needed to get a hold of either Captain Cain or Sergeant Patterson, this occurrence was not in the SOP they had been given. How were they supposed to handle an armed, foreign young girl who was eerily silent?
"Sir, you might want to come down here. We have a...situation."
