"Sorry Princess. I overstepped my place." She said sullenly.

"But can you not find a way to get the truth out of Silvana without frightening her?"

Silvana should be less agitated if we are somewhere warm and comfortable," Joanna said. "Did your tutors ever teach you about wilderness lore?"

I never needed to know anything about the wilderness before."

"Then we're lost, and we'll have to chosoe a direction at random," Jopanna sighed. "There might be other clansmen about though so we will have to keep our eyes peeled for them."

She looked frantically for Cassana and Eleyna. Where are they?

She stood and wandered to the edge of the clearing where they had last been seen.

She walked forward to her mount and stroked the animal to calm it then searched the clansman's body for useful items.

The clansman has the aforementioned bow, a quiver of arrows, and the axe which Joanna is all to familiar with. Nothing else.

The horse is still sitting where it has been staked, although is clearly on edge from the blood and fighting.

Joanna decided to take the axe, bow and quivers. She untied the horse.

"We'll have to start walking," Joanna said. "Aalina, can you put Silvana and Cassie up in the saddle. I'll lead the horse."

She turned to her firstborn.

"Eleyna, sweetling, can you walk for a bit? I don't want to tire the horse out with too many riders."

Tytos: I know this is distasteful, but I've been invited to a new RP on a Discord server, discord.gg/xnjMU it's gonna be a little more casual than these forums, no combat system and more player-driven Jan 23, 2017 22:07:20 GMT -5
