"And? You think after trying to escape for so long that i wouldn't be prepared?"
He steps back to a bush, only to turn and pull it it coming away to reveal a whole horse drawn carriage.
The thing he was standing infront of a huge tarp that blended into the background. The horses we're attached to the carriage.
"well? Come on! If we get started know we could get infront of them! Here, you can even ride in the fancy part." He moved and open the door for Marius.
"well what do you say?"
Ugh… Marius looked around before reluctantly climbing into the carriage, although not without a bit of difficulty. He was too short to easily just step on. And why are we running away? Pray remind me, considering I'm essentially a hostage in this situation. Maybe you can convince me to stick around. He crossed his arms after adjusting his hat.
He chuckled getting up on the rider part of the horse drawn carriage, grabbing the reins and whipping them gently, starting the horses moving forward.
"So we can escape being royalty and all the responsibilitys with it? Don't worry, i left a letter. Well, for me. They can just do the same idea for your kingdom."
He shrugged, "Don't you ever get tired of all it?"
Marius sighed softly and looked out the window of the carriage, resting his head on the knuckles of one hand. I suppose. Not to the point of running away, though. He glanced up at Tristian. I think it would be nice to be an astronomer. Not that it matters to you. Do you even know how to control this thing anyway?
"Sure i do, it's similar to riding a horse right?" He kept his hands on the reins.
"and why do you think i wouldn't care? I think it's cool you wanna be a astronomer, i don't really know what i want to be so it's double the amount of cool that it was like five seconds ago."
He let out a relaxed sigh looking at the trees.
Marius rolled his eyes and toyed with his sleeves a bit. You wouldn't care because no one cares. I don't get that choice in my future. I have to get married to a… a woman, and I'll be expected to produce an heir… He sighed, looking away.
"the whole reason for running away is so none of that happens, and now that your running away with me you can do that! You can be the best astronomy guy this place has ever seen! We can to a kingdom where no one knows us, and have a fresh start. Think about it, you can even have your own shop, i can go on adventures and bring stuff back for you to sell along with astronomy stuff."
He chuckled seemingly happy as he rides with the horses.
I suppose so, but I'm sure they'll find us relatively easily. You might be able to disguise yourself, but I'm pretty easily distinguishable. Marius looked back out the window, seeming uneasy. The townspeople would be glad to give away my location, especially for money.
"you'd be surprised, here let's pull over."
He made the horses stop, and covered the carriage with the tarp, all the soldiers ran past them into the distance. He quickly got into the carriage, chuckling to himself.
"I brought all my disguise stuff."
He had hair covering one of his eyes, but other then that the red head seemed like a normal looking boy.
He pulled out a bag, and then grabbed old timey make up.
He moved to apply some on him.
Marius shied away when Tristian moved to put the makeup on him, huffing and turning his ears back. He'd have to take his mask off to do it, and he wasn't willing to do that. Maybe I can just try changing clothes. My current attire is too recognizable.
He pulled back ,"Alright yeah let's try that." He started to put the makeup away, and then turned to his clothes and such.
"ah, i don't think i uh…have your size. Sorry."
He put a hand to his neck chuckling a bit nervously.
"I do have wigs thought if you want to take a look."
Marius sighed softly and started looking through the clothes. I can wear clothes that are too big. It doesn't really matter. The townspeople will just assume I'm a child or something. He pulled out the smallest thing he could find, took off his hat, and tugged it over his head. I suppose a wig would probably help as well.
"Awww that looks so good on you, I'm jealous~" he chuckled a bit looking at them with the oversized shirt over there head.
"well i got no shortage of wigs, i made them myself."
He pulled out a wig that was slightly longer then marius's hair and was lavender and handed it to him.
"Here."
Marius rolled his eyes and huffed, pulling the lavender wig onto his head and looking down at himself. I really do look like a child… do I look different enough, at least? He looked back up at Tristian, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Awww you look so cute~!" He gushed letting out a few chuckles,
"yes you definitely look different then before, maybe switch out the mask so the color matches your hair or your outfit? Then we may be good to go. Well i still have to change but that should be easy."
He smiled at them, handing them a slightly more blueish lavender mask to match marius's wig.
Marius huffed again and turned away to switch out his mask, not wanting Tristian to see the scars on his mouth. Once it was on, he turned back, his hands on his hips. There. That should be fine. Now I resemble one of the peasants, yes? There's enough of my species here to not be suspicious.
(I drew him in disguise because I can >:D)
"Yes! You look great~ Now, before we do anything else, i don't think i actually know your name."
He chuckled a bit, moving to take off his shirt showing off his well structured chest area.
He reached for another shirt to put it on, pausing for a little bit to wait for an answer, before pulling it over his head and getting stuck half way and falling on top of Marius,
"oops-"
Marius. Prince Marius. He replied, adjusting the sleeves of his oversized shirt as he watched Tristian. He staggered and fell to the floor as Tristian fell onto him, grimacing and trying to push him off. Get off of me, you oaf! You're crushing me!
"I'm tristian!" He chuckled a bit as he tried to get off of Marius when really he was just flopping around on top of him, the pushes did help and he fell out of the carriage onto the ground,
He chuckled a bit before wincing, "ouch.."
Marius got up off of the floor as well and huffed, looking off to the side. We should get going if you're not interested in getting caught up with. I'm sure it won't take them very long to find the carriage. He opened the door and carefully stepped out, not wanting to fall.
He got up from the ground, struggling to get the shirt on all the way before being able to pull it down he messed with his hair, tying it up into a pony tail adjusting his red bangs.
If marius would look over at him he could see the heterochromia in his eyes, before he reached for a hair extension, one colored mint green and attaching it to where it was covering one of his eyes and he made it look natural.
"okay, ready."
Where are we going? Marius asked, fiddling with his shirt again as he walked. It would probably be easiest to skip town if we're looking to avoid being caught. They wouldn't expect me to leave. I've never left the town in my life. Hell, I hardly leave the castle.
"Alright Well they would definitely expect me to leave town, but if they wouldn't expect you to then i suppose we should skip to the next town over. Should we take the carriage or should we just ditch it?"
He stretched his legs and arms out, looking look normal town folk.
Whichever. If we leave the carriage, it will be harder to travel, but then they also couldn't track it. If we go on foot, it'll be harder to identify us. He started walking along at Tristian's side, looking around warily.
"Well then leave the carriage it is, hmmm should we burn it or just leave it behind the tarp? If they find the disguise in it, then they might think to look for something different then what we normally look like."
He looked at marius as they walked away from the carriage.
I suppose burning it would work. Marius sighed softly and formed a small ball of fire in his palm, looking up at the carriage with his few belongings inside. Anything you want to take out before we burn it?
He jogged back over to the carriage reaching inside of the bag he brought, and shoving something into his pocket before jogging back.
"okay I'm ready."
He waited for the fire to burn the carriage, though he was amazed at the way marius held the fire.
Marius hesitated for a moment, but then stepped up to the carriage and touched his hand to the wood, watching as it began to burn. It won't take long for the flames to overcome it. We should probably get going now so we can put some distance between us and this place.
