[ Life is tough when you are a brave knight. But the heroic Sir Fiddler is not easily bested by horrific circumstances!! Though an evil villain may have kidnapped him from the safe haven on his bed where his mother tucked him in last night and read him a bedtime story he only despaired for ~~half an hour~~ a brief moment before he was faced for his first foe! Some beast that dwelled deep within the recesses of the ~~extra rooms~~ caves of his prison. It groaned and thumped at the door, scraping at wood--so the brave sir Fiddler did what any hero would do!

He locked it and got the fuck out 8|

But not before dragging p. much all the blankets from his bed with him. BECAUSE IT'S ARMOR. not because he was totally freaked out. Brave knights don't lose their cool.

So now the lone warrior is sort of just...walking through the hall, a portion of the blankets hugged to his chest while the rest trail behind him on the ground. Like a man. A man with manly wet eyes and pursed lips. Who is definitely not sniffling, nope ]

Moooooooom...... Mooooooooooooom.... [ and not calling out for mom either 8|;; ]

[ ooc; THUS ADEL JOINS THE KIDLETS UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY. be prepaaaareddddd ]

[he listens to the door for a minute, frowning to himself. And glances back at the boy by the door.

...The boy who really looks a lot like Adel.

Hmm. He's beginning to get the idea that something weird and not good is happening, here. So, he knocks a short little rhythm on the door--the kind that Matt had been able to copy, before.]

[ It's like he doesn't even hear it. It really just encourages him to drag his hands over the door harder, making a louder and more insistent groan ]

[...uh-oh.

He can't help but wince at the results of that little test. Glancing back at the boy, he waves his hand in a "GO SOMEWHERE" gesture. He can figure out why a midget version of Adel is wandering around later. Right now, he's got to get this zombie somewhere safe.

...Boy, he wishes the tower had let him keep his staff. He's going to just... look around for something of a similar shape or function. Something that can be used as an effective blunt weapon with some reach]

[ There's...a sort of bone-speak/spike thing off in the corner :D; that he accidentally stuck through the floor at the last castle. So that might work!

Coil's basically on his own now though, because Adel's going to beeline it back to Cian's room ;; ]

[good, because if that kid really is Adel, then something is just going to go badly if he hangs around. :\

So, Coil retrieves the bone spike, gives it a couple of experimental test-swings, wonders what the hell it is, and carries it back with him to the door.

It's not as heavy as he'd like, but it will have to do. Mouthing a quick little prayer, he takes a breath... and opens the door]

[ --aaand out come matt, eyes blank and mouth opened as he immediately reaches out toward Coil. He's the only source of life in the room so that? Makes him dinner. ]

[okay... let's start with the least amount of force possible, by deftly reaching around those outstretched hands to snatch at one of Matt's wrists-- trying to grab him so Coil can kind of... pull and steer him away from him and toward the door to the hallway. He doubts that he'll be lucky enough that Matt will be so easily redirected, but he's got to at least try. At the very least, he'll get Matt turned partially away from him for a moment. The last thing you ever want is a ghoul coming straight at you. :\]

[ Well the grabbing works--he isn't exactly trying to dodge or anything. But as soon as there's contact with coil he's reach with his free hand to try and latch onto him; that way, even when spun he can make a hungry groan and open his mouth wide, trying to lean forward and bite him ]

[yep, that's what he was afraid of. It's kind of like handling a venomous snake, trying to juggle and maneuver without getting tagged by those teeth.

With the spear in his other hand, he shoves the blunt end beneath Matt's collarbone, trying to push him back. Hoping maybe he'll even let go of his arm in favor for grabbing onto the spear... if he's really lucky]

[ He is heeeella lucky, because that's exactly what Matt does. He grabs onto the end of the stick on impulse and out of a desire to catch Coil, groan caught in his throat when he's pushed back. He doesn't let go per say, but his grip is broken! ]

[ah, excellent. That's precisely what he needs. As soon as he feels Matt's grip loosen, he twists his wrist free, keeping the end of the spear against Matt as he continues to edge around to keep the ghoul from facing him dead-on.

And then, as soon as he sees an opportunity to do so, he's going to duck in and take a kick at the ghoul's knee--either to the side or whipping around to make the limb buckle forward--whatever he can do to try to knock the kid down a little]

[ It isn't hard! He's smaller than coil and has no coordination or cognitive ability; he's played easy by Coil and winds down on one knee, groaning and turning to look up at him ]

[relaxing a little at how easy it is to subdue the kid, he lets himself breathe a little, very thankful that the ghoul is obviously not built for combat. That makes everything much easier.

Next step will be abandoning the spear for a minute so he can try to go in and twist the kid's arms behind his back]

[ It's another success! But it doesn't mean he's going to stop trying to turn his head around to bite at him, or grab at him! You must be deft coilllll ]

[thankfully, if there's one thing that Coil can be, it's deft. And, as long as Matt is this close, he doesn't have to worry too much about his lack of depth perception putting him in danger.

Once he's got Matt's arms twisted around and has a pretty good handle on wrangling him, he automatically goes to tie up the boy's limbs... only to remember that, like his staff, the tower didn't seem it fit to let him keep his cords.

Hissing a breath between his teeth in annoyance, he's left wrestling Matt's arms while he chances to look around for something else to maybe tie the boy up with. Maybe even gag him]

[ Adel doesn't carry much in the way of rope sorry ): He's got books and papers and...clothes, and besides his bedding that's probably about it. HE IS NOT WELL-PREPARED FOR THIS SORT OF THING ]

[...figures. Thanks, Adel.

He's gonna have to do this the hard way, then. Grabbing the spear again--he might have to drop it if Matt gives him too much trouble, he just hangs onto the ghouls arms and... bullies him forward. He's got not choice but to try and walk him bodily out of the room and into the hall]

[ oh god this is probably going to look terrible to anyone that sees--matt fights the whole time. Not with his grip, but to just get back to him, tugging at his arms and leaning his head back to stare soullessly at him ]

[saying that he's on edge doesn't begin to describe him as he hurries the zombie along... just so terribly glad that Matt is considerably smaller than him.

There is a constant silent mantra of prayers running through his head as he goes, begging the gods to keep anyone from noticing him as he... pretty much kidnaps an undead child]

[ WORST HUMAN ALIVE, ASSHOLE. that's what you are. ]

[HEY. It's better than letting the rabid thing wander around the tower, or left in a room where anyone could run into it.

He's helping.]

[ .....well ): yes. but he still wants to eat you okay ]

[yeah, he can TELL.

He's pretty out of breath from the constant struggle, and the stress of possibly being seen, by the time he gets Matt past the stairs and onto his floor.

He pauses outside his room to catch his breath... and figure out how he's going to juggle his grip on Matt to open the door]

[ does it involve letting Matt eat you? But that's p. much what this groan asks as he tries to turn around again ]

[and the answer to that is no. He expresses this by shoving Matt against the wall next to the door, so he can free one hand to get the thing open.

As soon as that is accomplished, he's dragging Matt into his room and kicking the door shut behind him.

...Now comes the hard part. D:]
