[It gets a short, sharp laugh out of him, anyway.]
I don't think I would've had a chance of lifting your old lady.
[Rest in pieces, former queen. No respect for the dead here!
Anyway, Alaric studies the wreckage carefully, searching for a safe point to drop down on. Once he's found it, he gestures for Blanche to join him.]
Ready? Hold on tight.
[And that's all the warning he'll give her, because they really don't have time to spend with the proper formalities that go into picking up the queen. There's probably a protocol for that, anyway. With Blanche tightly secured in his arms, Alaric begins the descent.
The stones are slippery and loose, and it isn't exactly an easy or pretty trip down. Alaric's damn lucky he didn't think to stop to grab one of his longer capes today, otherwise it definitely would have been caught on something. Thankfully, he does make it down to the ground level just fine and he sets Blanche down once they're on solid ground.
The storm has completely torn open the wall here, though. Normally they'd have to make their way through several more rooms to get at an exit, but they could escape this way.]
What do you think? This will put us in the woods; not the best cover, but it's about the same as what we'll find out front.
