[Luke looks left, right, and then double checks. The coast is clear. No one's looking at all. In fact, there don't seem to be any maids or soldiers in sight - not even Guy.]

All right... Just a little more...

[The red-headed noble holds his breath, then dashes across the lawn at top speed. He doesn't bother looking back until he's on the other side of the gate and around a corner where a stone wall obstructs him from view of the manor. At least he'll have a few hours of freedom - until one of the maids notices he's missing, that is.]

Whew... What a pain! You'd think they'd have figured out by now that no one's stupid enough to kidnap me again. Oh well, guess I'll just have a look around. There's got to be something at least halfway interesting to do around here. It is a city after all...

[Luke looks around for a moment, then joins the flow of people, arms crossed in front of himself importantly. Even if you ignore the hair, his outfit manages to stand out. Really, how many people do you see dressed with their stomach showing and a jacket with coattails that nearly hang down to the ankles. The city itself... well, it definitely isn't Baticul. One of those Nexus tricks where people randomly appear in panfandom cities ought to suffice as an explanation.]
