You felt like you were forgetting someone but who? You decided to push that thought aside for now as you entered a japanese styled town (imagine the town of needles in the soul eater episode where Tsubaki fought her brother)
Despite the numerous houses you saw few people walking about. The few men you did walk by made way as you passed, silently glaring at you. If looks could kill... A group of children, instead of out and about playing the streets, trudged along the dirt road, with a bow as tall a them slung across their shoulder.
You walked through a town square wher a tall purple tent with a veil hung in front of it stood in front of a guilotine. You were able to make out th silhoette of a teenage girl sitting in the tent just before you were led into a large brick building, that was sorely out of place in the asian styled town.
Insidewas a long coridor lined with cell after cell. At the sit of you the occupants would rush to the bars begging for freedom. One of the guards taht escorted you would sometimes jangle the keys in front of the prisoners, taunting them.
Finally into a cell at the very end if the corridor "Your trial's tomorow, though it's more of a formality than anything," said a guard as he threw your bags in the cell.
As soon as the guard left the three of you dove for the bags but as expected, only the weapons were confiscated.
As the three of you scoured through your bags Ludwig muttered "Son of a bitch,"
"What?" asked Lovino.
"Mathew! That coward probably ran for the ills the second he heard those soldiers coming! I swear when I get my hands on hi-," he paused as the sound of the entrance door opening echoed throughout the long corridor.
Suddenly Mathew, covered in cuts and bruises, was pushed into the small cell.
"W-What happened to you?" Ludiwg gasped all signs of anger gone from his voice.
"I t-tried to wake you up I really did, but nobody would, so I tried to fight tem off for as long as I could but there were too many of them, they took me back here to Retnuh for interogation, they thought we were spies from Eitsuj I tried telling them we were just travellers but they w-wouldnt listen, Im so sorry," at he last word he broke down crying.
You quickly went to hug him as his whole body racked with tears. "It's ok, you're ok now," you whispered rubbing his back.
"I'm going to kill those bastards," said Lovino his voice dripping with venom. You looked up at him and was almost terrfied by the look of pure rage on his face. He raced to the bars and yelled "Come on bastards, fight me! What are you scared! Huh, Coward!" with each word he punched the bars, soon his knuckles were red with blood.
You quickly got up, letting Ludwig hold Mathew, and grabbed Lovino by the shoulder. "Look save your energy for tommorow,"
You suddnely remembered, your bag! It had several healing herbs. You opened up the messenger bag and went through the various jars until you found the herbs you needed. You did you best to mash them together with your hands, creating a kind of paste. Then proceded to rip several strips of your sleeve off and slathered the mixture onto it and wrapped it around Lovino knuckles, you handed the rest of the strips to Ludwig who quickly addresed Mathews wounds.
"Thanks," muttered Lovino looking away.
"No problem," you said biting your lip to supress a grin. He may be a bit akward but he really cares about his friends.
