Thankfully, it's hard to miss a flying fucking carriage so it's easy to scramble out of the way, but to do that when you're already hurting. Well, Alphinaud kind of falls out of the way more than anything, attempting to stifle a pained hiss. ]
[ Sometimes a carriage just crashed into the front door of a castle. It's fine.
From a distance, they can see the blue being that tossed it. Jeanne and Clementine are nowhere to be seen, since they already ran to the garden which is not viewable from these two's current position. ]
[ Depending on which direction they look, there's a few things. There a couple of buildings towards the left that look like parts of the castle. To the right, are some stables. The being is closer to the stables, and also there's a dinosaur coming into view to charge at it. Lup will see that it is not hers. ]
Do - we want to go towards the big monster? [ aaaaaaa ]
Okay, I guess, whatever. [ and she makes her way in that direction, keeping distance from the being and straying towards the buildings. stumbles, mostly. haha, look at that blood trail. ]
They make it to the stables, and from there they can see that there's more stuff towards the back of the castle. But while they're noticing that, the being is also noticing them.
It starts heading straight to them, with the dinosaur ripping at it as it moves. ]
[ From somewhere in his robes, another tiny microraptor peeks its head out at the sight (and sound) of its fellow microraptor attempting to rip the hell out of this weird monster thing, and crawls up upon Alphinaud's shoulder. With its tiny... dinosaur noises, it almost seems to hint it wants to help—or maybe it is just a dinosaur who wants to hunt shit. Who knows.
Either way, Alphinaud is not gonna say no in the face of a huge thing probably wanting to harm them, so. ]
[ They'll notice that it's... a perfectly maintained garden. There's a few nobles around, walking around and chatting, as a few gardeners do some landscaping. They look at the two when they enter, but make no move to approach them. ]
[ Or maybe it's just adrenaline, who knows. Either way, Alphinaud is spotting the people; he would tell them to run, but this is some bullshit pretend place that's already trying to kill them anyway, so. He just grits his teeth again, and announces as loud as he can muster: ]
—You there! Have you caught any sign of the king? You must let us know, if so!
[ she nods a bit at that, and follows after him, watching to make sure he's doing okay. she squints, trying to see if there's anything out of place here as alphinaud questions the gardeners.
it's really funny that both of them are just covered in blood asking questions nonchalantly. ]
[ Sometimes you're bloody while there are very distinct dinosaur roars happening in the background. Luckily, this place already has rumors of being weird, so they're clearly trying to ignore it. ]
Oh, we believe they're somewhere in the garden. But... oh dear.
[ Hey? Do you remember? The stabby girl? Who now has a sizable chunk ripped out of her torso, but is still somehow walking just fine.
She's here, and she's going to very gently try to stab Alphinaud from behind while he's talking. ]
We were having a conversation!
[ Lup's dinosaur runs in seconds later, roaring. ]

... Gods above—what is that?
no subject
lup is just on the floor. she doesn't want to get up, she didn't sign up for this. ]
Where the fuck did my dinosaur go? [ wheeze ] Are we going to have to fight that?
[ hold on she's going to pick herself up... or try. ]
no subject
They will also get a nice view of it picking up another carriage, and also throwing it at the castle. ]
no subject
Alphinaud manages to push himself back on his feet. ]
Away from the castle!
[ We gotta go man, we gotta go. While he's making sure they're out of harm's way, he scowls at the blue thing in the distance. ]
We would be best to avoid coming close, for we have not the means to challenge it head-on. There is still the matter of the king.
[ So, looking at their surroundings, what's immediately nearby? Anything that hints where one could flee to next? ]

We need to find that sucker. It's the only thing I can think to do? [ what is around here ]

All right, then—go forth!

lup watches it go, almost amused by how gungho it is. and then she nyooms off towards the back of the castle. what can she get into back here? ]
no subject
Lup will notice that, far off in the distance, there's a garden! Wow. That hasn't been mentioned at all yet in this post! ]
no subject
With the dinos unleashed Alphinaud will hurry out of the way, following behind Lup. Where we goin! ]

Hey - hey, how you doing? Still good? [ she's gasping a bit here but it's fine. ]

A stab from behind definitely happens; he yells, strangled and pained, and stumbles forward. ]
