~Theon~
"Her name is Nights." he said. He didn't know whether he was remembering her name from when he was a child or if he just... knew.

~Nights~
Nights tilted her head and looked at the woman. Is this masters mate?

Ase~
"It's nice to meet you Nights." She smiled though it was a bit forced. "Theon I've got something to tell you. No holding back. Those bandits today, I knew them by name."

~Theon~
Theon caught himself before he could show his reaction. Deciding not to jump to conclusions he simply nodded once to signal to Ase that she had his full attention.

~Nights~
Nights simply blinked at the woman.

Ase~
This was hard, but why? "The man I mention before, the one I thought loved me, those are his men. He has been searching for me since he found out about my power. He sent those men after me."

~Theon~
"Then I'll protect you." Theon understood why she had been so hesitant to tell him but, luckily Theon wasn't one to immediately assume the worst case scenario.

Ase~
"Thank you...but I don't want there to be a fight." She said

~Theon~
"Well I can't promise you that but, we'll do our best." he gave her a kind smile. He didn't want to make promises he couldn't keep. He hated fighting as much as she did, and he understood why she didn't want to have to face this man. What if he had to face Sen in the future? The thought was horrible.

Ase~
"Thank you." She smiled hugging him lightly. "I think I'm ready to go back now." She said with a wince. Her side was killing her now, for such a soft hit it sure did its damage.

~Theon~
Theon helped Ase back into the tunnel, Nights hopped down from his shoulder and walked in front of them the soft blue light from her flaming orbs lighting their way through the tunnel.

Ase~
"About earlier. I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that." She said still clutching the doll. "I just miss her is all."
