At first he was in shock at the mans action. He almost wanted to kill the man for hurting a woman like that, almost. He had wanted to check to see if Vermillion was okay, but the noble had asked him the questions.
"No sir, nothing like that." He had to force himself to call him 'sir'. he was never really fond of authority anyways. "I had simply admired Vermillion's grace. When she ran over here, i followed. When i saw the situation, i ran to help." He started to visibly shake, clearly exhausted and feeling a bit of blood loss.
"Look, I don't want any trouble sir. I simply came to help."
It was almost strange to see the gap in Grimsaul's treatment of Vermilion and his treatment of Nevin. The old man offered Nevin the healing potion, which was working on him gradually.
"Well boy. You want to admire her more, you pay like everyone else. And I'm grateful anyway. Not common in Noxus to see helpful lot. You're a diamond in the rough, I would say. You want a job? I just had a vacancy for bodyguards..." He looked down at the dismembered mercenary hand still clutching the crossbow, kicking it aside.
"Seriously boy, have a red pot. That's a nasty gash." He said, with a polite smirk. Meanwhile, Vermilion was gasping heavily and tiredly, as the shock finally ended. She was still too weak to stand, sprawled on the floor, her dress torn and stained.
He almost laughed when the nobleman called him boy. Though he did not look it, he was much older then he looked. He had thought about his offer for a job. Though he was not fond of nobility, It would be foolish of him to turn down possibly a good job. Fighting was something he did all his life, be it hunting or simply surviving. If he could be paid for doing something he does normally, perhaps he could see past the man.
He looked down towards Vermillion, glad that she was at least breathing then back to the man with a smile "I'll live, but i guess a potion wouldn't hurt, if you do not mind. I myself had recently moved here, In a simple apartment. I was born a Frejlord, a hunter. Normally i do not...'guard', but i am sure we can work something out."
"What? You're one of those barbarians? bah, It doesn't matter. Consider yourself hired, though know that I am intolerant of treachery or weakness." The Count showed initial disdain for his heritage- a racist perhaps, but as a Noxian Grimsaul knew how much power counted.
He kept an eye on where Nevin's eyes went. "...Bah, don't mind her. I pay a large sum of money to have her around. She'll be fine. You might even want to rent her company some day. Ha! anyway, I am off for now. Seek me out at the Grimsaul estate this week, lad. I assure you, I have more than mere guard duty in mind for you..."
"Vermilion! Get up! I paid for your company and I'll enjoy every valor I spent on it. Get up!" He coaxed Caerys up with a brief kick, and Caerys quickly got up, looking at Nevin with disdain. She was his rented slave, and though she didn't show it, her feelings were plain and easy to guess at- were it not for her collar, she'd have murdered him ten times over by now.
when he saw him kick her, he finally snapped. he couldn't handle having that man treat other people like that. he furrowed his brow. He thought that he could deal with that man but it was too much.
"Honestly, do you really have to treat her like that? She Is a human just like anyone else." He walked right up to the man and looked him straight in the eye "You know, if I didn't have so much self control, i would have half a mind to kill you right now, for treating her like that. You know what, you can forget about taking your offer. I cant work for someone who treats people like that."
Grimsaul stood his ground as the Frejlordian confronted him. He wondered if he was going to do something about it.
"What? She's just a slave! stupid barbarians..." He said, like it was an acceptable explanation, as Nevin presumably walked away. The Count and his escort went the other direction; Caerys followed with a reluctant compulsion, looking back at her helper for the day before following the Count once more.
He was thoroughly disgusted by the man. He wanted to kill him, he really did. Insulting me? yeah sure that would have been cause enough. Treating people like trash? Disguising. Slaving a good woman, treating her like dirt, and all the while insulting Nevin? That to Nevin was the perfect explanation for scum
"Yeah, and behind all that money you are nothing more then a sad, disguising man." He retorted. 'oh believe me' He thought ' that will be the last time that man walks away from me unharmed.' He would have to find the man again, when Vermilion was gone from him. He did not want to have her be hurt for it. He would also have to meet Vermilion again as well. maybe someday he can watch her dance again. He gripped his wound once more and watched the two leave.
