"Oh, come on...you're not serious..."
He lifted one brow at Christian's blank expression.
"Fine, then. Let's have at it. Show me what you've got, boy-o."
With his arm still containing Anastasia, Sid clenched both hands and placed them before him into the air, while feigning a sort of rocking motion with his feet. And with that, he became the champion in the ring, goading on his rival.

"Well, yes, you'd be quite surprised...I am, in fact, rather serious..."
He managed to slip Anastasia a wink in Sid's excitement. He shucked off his outer coat and rolled up his sleeves, balling his hands into fists and plastering on a grim countenance.

Her eyes widened, though the grins on their faces made her want to roll her eyes instead.
Boys.

"You know, you're full of surprises--I wasn't actually expecting you to man up. But better late than never, right, Christopher? Or maybe I should blame myself for jumping to conclusions--"
He lunged forward, with Anastasia still ensnared within the crook of his arm, and feigned an uppercut.

"Love lifts us up where we belong--" he murmured.
Christian quickly swerved to one side and attempted to find a hole through which he could render considerable damage to Sid--he was quite enthusiastic about that bit, he wasn't going to lie--while preventing his love from sustaining any harm.
"--with eagles high, on a mountain high!"
He swung his right arm and watched as Sid fell backwards. It was like an instant replay of his earlier hit.

She was trying to get out of Sid's grip, and at the same time throw him off-balance, when Christian came in with a mean right hook, knocking Sid back. Anastasia tumbled, getting to her feet a little bit away from Sid, looking at Christian with something akin to awe.
"Love changes everything." She murmured.

Sid lay sprawled upon the floor in a mindless haze, feeling his eyes rolling towards the looming figures of the two young lovers but not quite envisioning them. His head slumped back down to the ground, and he did not fight as the darkness consumed him.

"All right, then. Fancy that...I've more strength in my right arm than I'd originally accounted for..." he mumbled, in turn, examining his handiwork with unnecessary glee.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"Oh, yes--let us go!"
He tugged at Anastasia's arm and led her towards the door, pulling her back to what was presently transpiring.

She followed along easily, glad that he'd knocked Sid out and ended the whole confrontation.
"God, I thought he'd be bothering us forever!"

"I should most certainly hope not!" he exclaimed wildly. "He had had us all in a knot--the nerve of that man accusing me of being someone I was not! Do I look a Christopher to you?"
He led the both of them down the corridor and around the bend.

"Oh, you're definitely not a Christopher!"
She was shaking her head.
"But whoever he was looking for, I don't envy them."

"Indeed," he concurred with a slight frown.
Their feet pattered across the wood of the staircase and continued on through to the inn's main entrance. Without pause, Christian pressed onwards, throwing a glance behind his shoulder to check Anastasia's progress, as the doors slammed open in their wake.

"What should we do now? We can't stay here, since he knows the place."
And here she thought she'd had all the adventure you could possibly cram into a life...

"I--"
His feet slowed.
"We'll find a place," he responded softly, gently tracing the curve of her jaw with his free hand. "I promise you that you'll be safe."

She nodded.
"I believe you. We'll be fine."
