Krismorel gave a worried nod and placed a hand on the horse beside her. The boy snorted and shifted slightly in small impatience as she waited for Sir Roxen to head off. "We could just skip getting silk and hurry off? I'm sure the pressure of this helmet on my head I can stand for more of a while before I finally dent it," she said in small humor; already knowing this was a time for no jokes. She took the reins of the Palomino and waited for his response, hoping they were going to head off soon. She was worried for Velkan, hoping that he wasn't sold too soon. If there was a way, she could hope he would stall the selling process just enough for there to be enough extra time for a quick rescue-and-escape to happen. And after the kiss... soon couldn't come soon enough. She seemed guilty, especially for not seeing his feelings earlier.

There was a hint of a smile on Ser Roxen's face but it disappeared as soon as it came. This was no time to joke around. They needed to get to Velkan now...and if they were lucky, get him before he was sold. "Very well, if you wish to keep the helm. Let us hurry..." he mounted on Luxour and began to head down a dark alley, going at a light trot. if they went any faster, they would look suspicious and looking suspicious brings attention. He looked back in a quick manner to see if krismorel was following.

Usually, elves being auctioned would have a potato sack around there head while they were being auctioned, but not this time. The high elf was standing on a wooden box, his hands tied together and his mouth gagged by a dirty cloth. Humans were disgusting creatures....selling beings as if they were tools. The auction was about to begin at any moment. A minute passes by and his captor yells, "This elf, a high elf at that, took out almost a dozen of my men in under five minutes. He is strongly built and could do some good, hard work. The price is starting at 60 gold pieces."

Krismorel mounted her horse and followed right behind Sir Roxen at a light trot as well, her eyes constantly scanning the crowd as if to see Velkan. She knew she wouldn't, but the humans seemed they constantly needed to keep an eye upon. Finally her eyes focused forward as she dearly hoped something - anything - would happen to stall time.

The city of thistles was quite large, and the slavery trade was all the way at the back of the city. It would take at least two hours for them to reach the location, not including when or if they run into any "guards" are mercenaries guarding the entrance. He looked to Kris and tried to smile, but only caught half of one. "Do not worry, we shall find and rescue him, no matter what." Ser Roxen was not one who said things like that, but something made him do so....perhaps he felt a friendly connection to the elf? Yes, that was it.
