Robin made a choking sound as she was suddenly lifted into the saddle and the fabric chaffed her neck. The next thing she knew she was bobbing along the road between Hans's legs. She drew a short breath and tried not to think about it too much.

Else pursued Prince John's army, but the troops were quick to fan out at the sight of the ogre, making it all too easy to spot their now unprotected leader.
The ogre used his club to knock the rider clean off his horse.

Theo flew off his horse and hit a tree that had been about thirty feet to the left of him. He groaned and looked up from the ground.

The ogre stalked towards the Phoney King, but Else stopped him from pulverizing the man into the ground.
"A word with you, my lord?" Else said, all politeness and decorum, as she gracefully climbed down from the creature. Her hunter's cap had fallen away during the chase and her hair was free from it's tucked place in her hunter's shirt.

John looked up at the ogre's face, which was rather mean and warty, then back at Else," I suppose I don't have a choice...."

Else huffed as she gave a mock smile, and then she was suddenly at his side, a concealed arrow point held uncomfortably close to his throat.
"Then let the negotiations between our kingdoms begin." Else said firmly. "You will leave from this place, with your life still intact, as long as you agree to my terms. They are simply thus: that you NEVER return to this land nor send any of your horde to cause violence within my kingdom..."

He groaned and got to his knees,"Believe me, I have NO intention of ever coming back to this wretched land AGAIN"
He felt like he was going to through up, how hard did he hit that tree?

Else grabbed the Prince by his hair and yanked back, so he was staring right into her dark glaring eyes.
"Do not think, for ONE INSTANT, that your obscene threats promised to me and my king, in my OWN chambers, will go on unnoticed with that half-hearted retort." Her hand tightened on his hair while the other brought the arrow even more painfully close, almost enough to draw blood.
"You will do well to know, sir, that I have acquired a wide range of acquaintances, both favorable and not, who would not react well to my unhappiness... let alone my DEATH." She spoke mostly of the Dark One and his mysterious obsession with her life with Hans, but she didn't need to go into details; her tone conveyed it all. "If I hear of one hair harmed on one of my subjects, one sand of soil out of place because of YOUR command... revenge upon you will be revisited a thousand times greater."

John could see the seriousness in her eyes, and if The Queen cold ally herself with something as fierce as an Ogre.... maybe it would be best to listen to her.... at least for now
"Yes... your Majesty...." He said with a heavy tone of defeat in his voice," I understand- you'll never see any of my kin in your kingdom again"

Else held firm for a beat, until she was finally satisfied with his defeated demeanor, and released him. She walked towards Hans, who was just now arriving with Robin in tow.
"I have arranged for an escort to see you back to your kingdom," Else called back to the fallen Prince. "...and you will WALK every step of the journey...in defeat."

An escort.....? He looked over to the horses and riders that arrived,"Robin-?" He glared back at Else,"You witch! I KNEW IT! ALL THIS TIME YOU'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HIM!" He snarled and got to his feet.
He was in no condition to through any punches, but he was angry enough to snarl and make a big show,"MARK MY WORDS! This is NOT over! You're not the only one with friends in High phaces!"

The Ogre did NOT appreciate the Prince's loud outburst and roared right in his face, foul breath and spittle splashing across the man.

A huge blob of ogre-mouth-goo flew into The Phoney King's face, he froze momentarily then used both hands to remove the thick oozy layer that coated the majority of his face. It hit the ground with a 'sploosh'.
Today hadn't been a very productive day had it? He then turned," Lead me home, I am done with this place...."

Hans jumped off his horse after Robin climbed down, which wasn't much of a long way down for the large simple man, and he ran over to his Else. He picked her up by her waist and twirled her around in the air victoriously.
"My CLEVER Else!" Hans said, loud enough to show excitement, but quiet enough not to upset the Ogre nearby. He had learned, and in a very BRUISING lesson, that Ogres had VERY sensitive hearing...
Hans glanced over at the grouchy Prince and laughed at the sight of him. Else tried to quiet Hans and push down his pointing finger... even though she was fighting the urge to smile and jeer as well.

Robin snickered as she made her way over as well, Else and Hans may a have to be polite but she most certainly did not.
"It's not so easy to pick a fight with someone who can actually fight back now is it?" She said with a smirk, John didn't ven look at her he just growled and fumed stirring in his own anger.
