[font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif]The tavern wasn’t the ideal place to be, but needs must. Aoife was bitter that her quiet solitude had been so rudely interrupted, but no, Mikael had to just turn up. Four caravans she had met, four she had saved from demise. Did people ever learn? After the fourth offered a ride to the nearest village, Leaf accepted taking a spot on the last cart at the end, away from curious eyes and incessant questions. Her surname was not mentioned, only her first and the obvious fact she was well acquainted with dealing and putting down ruffians that preyed the road. Fucking bandits. [/font][/font][/font][/font]
[font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif]As thanks the leader of the group had treated her to a few ales, Leaf protesting at first but was now on her second after much urging. Korr licked, purred in her mind and while the demon said nothing, Leaf maintained a degree of alertness. Khali lay half under the table the mage was sat, nose between her paws the mabari quietly watched the room and over her mistress. If anyone but the leader approached the battle-wearied Champion the hound would rise, silently stare down those who dare try to disturb her and quietly sink back to her previous spot.

[font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif]Relaxing into her seat, Hawke would ponder over her next move. Going back to her hideaway was no longer an option. Mikael would return if she didn’t show face, check in. This was why she should have been born first, as eldest then she could do as she fucking pleased. Casting an eye to Khali, Leaf would quietly sigh, [color=#44b8ff][font=UDF, serif]“Should’ve dropped him down that mine shaft in Darktown when I had the chance Kal…”[/font][/color] Why did she have to involve herself with these fools again? And without so much as a beat she could hear her brother chime in, “because they are innocent people, like them in Lothering”. [/font][/font][/font][/font]
[font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif][font=UDF, serif]Fucking idiots that’s what they were. [/font][/font][/font][/font]
