Lucky... Duncan thought to himself as he cut his way quickly to the front of the masses, glancing over his shoulder briefly to take in the ever thickening crowd, all headed to the gates mere meters behind Duncan as he shoved his way through. People yelled and screamed at him, doing their best to shove him back, but Duncan kept his pace, stumbling but maintaining his balance until he was able to burst onto the street beyond. Duncan slowed for a moment, casting his gaze around, only to have it catch on a green cloak as it whipped around buildings to make his way down the wall. Duncan threw himself forward once more, urging his legs faster as he focused himself on the current task, beyond glad that he'd brought his gladius and crossbow to what was supposed to be a boring political event. Green Cloak tripped, rolling in the snow before bouncing back to his feet, and Duncan grinned widely, pushing himself to the brink of his abilities in order to make the most of the other man's stumble.
"Stop running!" Duncan roared, arms and legs pumping fiercely as he pushed himself harder and faster, narrowing the gap between the cloaked man and himself. "I won't hurt you, promise!" He called, though his words were somewhat betrayed by his snarling smile and snort of laughter. Duncan had missed this, chasing down his mark and feeling the burn of his body as he threw himself into the hunt. He missed the tantalizing promise of violence and bloodshed, the chance to hurt and be hurt i return. A primal growl rolled from him, interrupted by harsh pants as he closed the gap between himself and his prey. Finally close enough Duncan swung out, wrapping a muscled arm around the bowman's neck and jerking him backwards, the sudden change in momentum causing them both to loose balance, falling back in a tangled, struggling pile into the snow.
