Ben

"Hendric.. i think.. something has happened here there are no fires or lights on anywhere. it's too quiet we should move on and quickly!" he said word as light started to come to the landben could now see a little which meant that dawn was close coming now. "i think we need to get our "friend" as far away from "you know were" as soon as possible!"

Hendric

he nodded and shifted you on his lap he then started the horse off at a gallop around the enclosed city.

She stayed still as a rock, sensing something was off but not knowing what. Not only that, those same senses refused to let her wake up.

Hendric

"Ben," he said sternly "think you could find that log and burrow we used to hand out at when we were kids of hunting?"

Ben

"Yup," he replied chirily "i will be quick i always remember places like that" he chuckled and hurried ahead.

Hendric

he then carefully tied a cloak to his horses tail and let it drag in the dirt to obscure their tracks. "Light be with you ben and may he favour your steal" he touched his left hand to his head before he started looking around again. slowly and carefully.

She coughed up more water, her body still not recovered from almost drowning. Her clothes were still dry and her undergarments were visible from the white fabric clinging to her skin.

Hendric

he glanced down at you then quickly looked away. he reached into his saddle bags awkwardly and pulled out his second cloak. he then carefully draped it over you so that you would be warm and he wouldn't see what he was not meant to see. "blood and ashes" he said as a blush crept across his face. "don't worry your highness. everything shall be alright when we get to the location we are headed." he said quietly absently stroking your hair while he looked for the directional signs that ben had left for him.

She smiled faintly in her unconscious state, sensing his hand on her.

Hendric

he trotted left at a broken arrow that ben had left and then galloped a ways when he spotted a bit of fabric tied to a branch. he then slowed to a walk when he came across a pile of flat stones and looked for the hide hole. when he found it he awkwardly dismounted and carried you to the opening. "ben." he said softly and laid you down next to his horse and held his sword ready. "Ben" he whispered again and looked a little worried at hearing no signs of ben.

Despite her small movements she still didn't wake up, and turned a bit, now in more of a sleep state more than being unconscious.

Hendric

after a few more moments he whispered to his horse and crawled into the hiding space. his sword ready he looked around and saw a small fire had been started in the center and had been doused with water. he stayed close to the entrance and started to circle around the area quietly. he noticed someone bound and another person next to the bound figure. so he quietly snuck closer. he noticed that the bound figure wasd ben so he threw a rock at the entrance and the figure moved towards it. he then cut ben free and dove at the figure. nocking the figure out and trusting ben to tie him up and start the fire anew. he then exited and went to were he had left you.

She coughed once more, her eyes slowly opening and looking around, confused to where she was.
