"Hey!!" One of Karador's soldiers yelled out with a shocked look on his face as his sword left his side. He tried to grab at it and failed, continuing to persue it as it darted through the air. Before anyone had time the react more than that, the weapon had found itself against the woman's throat.
Ash had some fun earlier and scoped out her innerds, she was definately not human. That called for being a bit rougher with her even though he knew Cassius may not take it that way. He always had rough edges to smooth out with the way he treated people when they had to be put in place. He could never get that exactly right even when he was alive though he did not care too much about that right now.
The ghost found himself whispering to her yet again as the soldier aproached to retrieve his weaponry. "I can always try." His voice dripping with determination.

"Just--let...let me go!" Fyrhtu wheezed. She tried not to breathe and found it quite easy, but she didn't think about it much. All that was on her mind was the sword at her throat.
"Help!" she cried. Now she was the one who needed assistance; she didn't want to die. "Help! He's trying to kill me!!!" She shouted as loud as she could, hoping the swordless soldier would retrieve his weapon sooner than it took the ghost boy to press it too hard against her neck.

The sword slowly moved away from where it resided for a short while as Ashard spoke onto her, "Karador does not stand for it's citizens to be harmed. Leave things as they are and no one will be hurt. Not you, not that guy." His voice bore an air of all seriousness. "I will put the sword down now. Your actions will determine my own."
The weapon dangled there as though waiting for the soldier to take it and he did. The soldier looked around as though wondering what happened and looked the girl over to see what was up but saw nothing dangerous.

Fyhrtu glanced briefly at the soldier, who returned the gesture and walked back to his line, dazed.
What could happen if I ran?, Fyrhtu wondered. She could run, grab the boy and pull him out of the shackles, and be out of the main town in about thirty seconds. The only delays were the townspeople, the ghost boy, and of course the general. What to do, what to do? She looked at the boy with the question in her eyes, seeing if she could leave him or if needed to be saved.

When the girl had called for help, Marcus had looked away from the general, and watched as the the girl was threatened by the sword, and fouind himself afraid for her - not because she could help him escape, just plain afraid for her, afraid she would get hurt.
He breathed a sigh of relief as the sword moved awau from the girls neck, and he made a point of catching her eye, hoping she would understand from his glance what he wanted to say.
Don't try to help me - I'll be alright. But wait for me nearby, for when I get out/.
The he turned back to the general.
"Well, apparently you've just gotten my divided attention, so I do hope that's alright." He said with a grin.

Don't try to help me - I'll be alright. But wait for me nearby, for when I get out, Fyrhtu heard. That was decided.
"Okay, ghost boy, I give up. I'm just going to go back to my house to see my baby sister. I left her with a kind woman and I want to see her, okay? Bye." Fyrhtu turned and walked off around th corner toward the housing district, sitting on a front stoop of an abandoned-looking shack. She'd wait here for the boy.

Cassius's grim expression hardened as his lips drew back into a look of immense irritation. He leaned closer to the young man, his left hand hovering between the hilt of his sword and the young mans gut. It was a brief flash of anger, and it was clearly visible in is eyes, as his look turned agate hard. "You should mind your tongue boy." The General warned him, ignoring the cries of a young woman down the street - the soldiers were more than capable of dealing with that. "You are speaking to the General of the Karadorian armies, you are surrounded by the good men of the fifth cohort, you are in chains and you are under arrest. In your situation it could not hurt to express a little courtesy and respect." There was a warning in Cassius's voice as he continued, "Tell me your name." It was a simple command, and it left no room for misinterpretation. To refuse would not be the best course of action whatsoever.

Marcus raised an eyebrow.
"I am addressing the general Cassius? Well then, I had better be on my best behaviour, hadn't I?"
He grinned, not really intending to give the general his 'best behaviour'.
"My name is Marcus, oh great General." Marcus said, with as much of a bow as he could manage - most certainly a sort of jester/mock bow, not intended to convey respect.
Even through his mocking behaviour, he was still showing an amount of respect - more than he would show to most ruling authorities, anyways.
For example, he wasn't blatantly insulting the man. He knew that the great 'Iron-Fist' was an amazing warrior, and a loyal servant to the land of Karador - which was something he respected.
And he knew that he was a man of honour, who never broke his word, which was something the werewolf respected even more - honour, even to him - was extremely important.

Ashard watched as the girl left. For someone who was so intent on doing something in specific, she gave up too easily as far as he was concerened.
The invisible presence came up behind and Cassius and spoke unto him in a very low voice so only he would hear, "He had an accomplis but she's gone now. Too easily from my perspective. The boy has to be planing something."
Just when he finished talking to the general the chained man spoke up in a sarcastic manner to the general of the armies. Though he knew Cassius could very well tend to himself, Ash was starting to have some fun again with the whole mission idea. He held off for now though, waiting for any sign from the chained man that would indicate something worth having lots of fun with. And this ghost was almost lusting for it.

Fyrhtu could sense the ghost boy's excitement even from around the corner as she listened to the soldiers' chatter and the prisoners' pleadings. He was obviously hyped up about catching someone in an act of unlawfulness.
She stood and turned, wanting to enter the shack behind her to observe the scene from a window. Seh could watch the ghost boy for any signs that he knew where she was and the brawling boy to check if he was going to escape or not. If not, she'd head home. She really had hoped to meet him though. He'd actually tried hard to get her to release him.

((A daring OOC note... I'm waiting for response from Cassius before I reply, seeing as I need one from him before I can continue))

Cassius's expression did not change, his iron hard grimace remaining set firm as he looked over the man in chains before him. He was impertinant and confident, unlike how most others would act in his place. There was something unusual in itself, but perhaps this man had a hidden advantage that gave his voice that self assured little edge. "The General Cassius?" The General replied, "Yes, I would say you are. You might also find, that you in an unfortunate situation. I am attempting to carry out my duties and you and these thugs who share your misfortune - have interfered. This behavior is by no means common in this great city, nor is it permitted. I will know who is responsible for this, and I will make an example of them." Cassius raised his voice so that those around him and Marcus could hear, "It is in your interest to speak now." Cassius's voice dropped a notch, and picked up a threatening air as he finished. Cassius told no lies, he would make an example of the culprit, and he would stop this disgusting behaviour dead in it's tracks.

Marcus made as much of a shurg that he could manage while in shackles.
"Well, I'm absolutly sure it is in my interest to speak now. But have you considered something? When presented with an unruly prisoner who doesn't really feel like talking and who naturally questions authority - would it not be better to question some other, more willing person?" Marcus grinned.
He knew he was going to get in big trouble... but he couldn't help it. Besides, trouble was so much fun sometimes...
