"speaking" 'thoughts' telepathic messages flashbacks (POV switch)
Chapter 3
(Chris' POV)
'Oh dear...' The Silver Maiden, Chris watched as Caesar ran for his life with Borus attempting to run after him. Attpempting, because Percival and Leo were holding him back. Caesar seemed to enjoy the attention even though, it may have just ended up with a sword blade through his stomach.
"YOU RUDE PUNK!!! YOU DARE INSULT ME?!" Borus wasn't called the Swordsman of Rage for nothing. Caesar knew that with the other knights holding Borus back, that he had nothing to fear...yet, so he continued to tease him.
"Obviously, I do." Caesar had a smirk plastered on his face as he said this. That comment only made Borus struggle harder. As soon as this was over, Caesar would have to wait for the rage of Borus to be focused on someone else, he was hoping that Nash would try another flirting round with Chris, so that he would forget all about him before he could safely travel the corridors. Borus was attracting a crowd now. And, just as Caesar was hoping, Nash was part of the crowd. Worst comes to worst, Caesar could pull up a lie about Nash stalking Chris or something and he'd be off the hook.
"I'LL WIPE THAT SMIRK RIGHT OFF YOUR FACE, YOU INCOMPETENT, GOOD FOR NOTHING STRATEGIST!!!!!!!!" Now, Caesar was used to being insulted back by people. But, he was one of the best strategists of all time, and NO ONE insulted his skills and got away with it.
"GOOD FOR NOTHING STRATEGIST?! I PULLED YOUR SORRY ASS THROUGH THE WAR, AND THIS IS HOW YOU THANK ME?! NEXT TIME YOUR IN DIRE NEED OF A STRATESGIST, I'LL LEAD YOU INTO AN EARLY GRAVE YOU MORONIC IRON HEAD!!!" Caesar wasn't smirking any more. Instead, he had a scowl, and if glares could kill, Borus would be a dead knight.
"IRON HEAD!?!?"
"YEAH, IRON HEAD!!!!"
"THAT'S WHAT THE GRASSLANDERS CALL US, NOT YOU!"
"WELL, I ALWAYS LIKED THEM BETTER ANYWAYS! MAYBE I'LL JUST MOVE THERE, THAT WAY IF ANY ZEXEN IRON HEAD KNIGHTS ATTACK, I CAN HELP THEM DEFEAT YOU!" Caesar was a nice guy, honest, but when he was mad, he could be as scary as Borus sometimes. At this, Caesar walked to the audience, borrowed a dictionary that was in the care of Apple, and tossed it at Borus. The dictionary hit Borus right between the eyes, and knocked him out. Caesar's scowl quickly disappeared and was replaced with his usual smile as he walked off whistling a happy tune. When the dictionary hit Borus, Nash fell to the ground laughing. What? He was still angry about the time Borus threw him for flirting.
"That was...wow." Leo said, awestruck. "Who knew that Caesar could be so scary? Or a dead shot for that matter?"
"I sure as hell didn't," Percival said, while trying to get his friend Borus on his feet.
"Is Borus going to be alright?" Chris questioned slowly.
"He should be. He might have a head ache and a nasty bump when he comes to, but other then that, he should be just fine," thier strategist, Salome said simply.
"It was foolish of him to get so angry. Caesar teases almost everyone. He should just get used to it, and ignore him," the elven archer, Roland said matter of factly.
"You have a point...hey...does anyone know WHY Caesar teases almost everyone so much?" Leo asked. Everyone shook their heads but Apple, who had stayed to get the dictionary.
"...What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Apple questioned nervously as the Six Mighty Zexen Knights, excluding Borus of course, stared at her.
"You know why Caesar teases everyone?" Percival asked slowly.
"Of course I do! I've known him for pretty much all his life!" Apple said in an exhausted tone.
"Will you tell us?" Chris inquired hopefully.
"No. If Caesar wants you to know, he'll tell you himself. And if you want to know so badly, go ask him yourself!" Apple hurried off after relaying this information.
"Who would've thought...Caesar has a reason for messing with our minds..." Percival muttered in suprise.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Chris spoke slowly.
(Caesar's POV)
Caesar walked down the hall, with his usual smile on his face. However, his thoughts were far from cheerful. 'Stupid loser knight...who does he think he is? The only reason I tease them is for attention. I'm finally getting more attention then Albert, and he insults me! True...I did insult him first, but still.' Caesar walked over to Juan who was, suprisingly, awake. "Hey Juan."
"...Hey Caesar. What's up?" Juan asked lazily.
"Just sleepy. Mind if I take a nap here?"
"Nah, I was thinking of skipping work and taking a nap myself. Something wrong?"
"Nope. I just had a run in with Nash's greatest fear..."
"His wife?"
"Er...second greatest fear."
"Oh, Borus?"
"Yeah. He called me a good for nothing strategist! Can you believe that?!"
"Good for nothing? Why would he say that? It's not true. Now, what did you do to him?"
"Hehe...I erm...uh...kinda....sorta, threw a dictionary at him? It hit him right between the eyes and knocked him unconcious."
"If you're lucky, that blow to the head either, knocked some sense into his head; gave him a coma, so he'll forget all about you when he wakes up; or gave him amnesia."
"I doubt that I'll be that lucky."
"Me too. I think you over reacted though."
"Maybe, I don't usually do that."
"No use dwelling on the past. Now...instead of worrying about hot headed knights, what do you say we get some sleep?"
"I like the way you think."
I guess it's kinda short compared to the last chapter...oh well. I'm not picking on characters or anything. It just seems like Borus would be the most likely to react like that. Hopefully, no one was OOC. Anywho...R&R please. And remember to suggest couples you want to see in future chapters!
