(picks up from Rangers Manners 101) (open)
After departing from Karel Mouse quickly made her way to the river and along it. Her mind was overflowing with thoughts, or more accurately doubts. Perhaps it hadn't been such a good idea to have included him, could she really trust him? Probably not. She wouldn't at all be surprised if he tried to kill her in her sleep. But the alternative hadn't been any better. The man who had given her the paper knew for a fact that she couldn't read. He had manipulated her on purpose. She stopped and swiftly climbed a tree then sat still thinking, her bow and an arrow on her lap. Avery was obviously still holding a grudge that she had bailed out on him. Avery wasn't the kind of person to just let things go. But she couldn't have stayed, it just wouldn't of been good. Avery wanted her back but why? He had for the most part left her alone why was he choosing now to make contact with her? It was possible he wanted to capture her in order to throw her to the rangers who would then in turn throw her in jail and then as the law allowed would hang her for her crimes. She rubbed her neck thinking about being hung wasn't a very pleasant thought she shuddered. King Duncan didn't make exceptions, she was to old to be above the law and had done to much to escape it. There was always the possibility of leaving the country, starting a new life somewhere else. But where? She could stowaway on a boat and head for Skandia, there was Picta but she doubted she would get very far in either place. Nissa had no where to go and she had no one to turn to. no one cared if she lived or died. No one would mourn her death in fact several nobles would probably hound the king for it. She was alone in this world no matter where she was, she mine as well stay here and take her chances. She wondered if the king would be more lenient if she turned herself in, perhaps if she begged him for mercy told him she wanted to change maybe he would let her live. Being a servant was better than dieing wasn't it? Though Nissa loved her freedom she doubted she would last very long as a servant, once this whole thing with Avery was over she'd give it some more thought. She saw Karel coming and he stopped not far from where she was sitting.
"Its about time you showed up." she said loudly climbing down form her branch then jumping to the ground landing with cat like grace on the ground.
As she straightened she looked back over his shoulder and into the woods surrounding them. All seemed to be all right. She gave a slight shrug and started walking along the river not checking to see if Karel was following or not.
Deeper in the woods the two men stood before Avery leader of the bandit gang.
"She's on her way to seacliff." one said simply Avery gave a little smile, but it was a very unpleasant smile.
"Excellent you have done well, by high noon tomorrow mouse will be mine.
