*Rhiannon shakes her head slightly andbriefly as she takes the lead. Her hand lingering at her waist the dagger hidden within the dresses waist band. She kept herpace slow and steady in part for Damian to take as much time as he needs to walk and to open her sense slightly. She briefly paused and closed her eyes tilting her head slightly toone side as she listened to the woods surroundings them. Slowly picking out various noises and putting themaside as harmless animals or the wind blowing through the trees but on noise stuck out though was at quite a distance.The sound of whispering met her ears. She opens he eyes and looks around.*
*Muttering to herself.*
I asked for no more chaos.
*She resumes her slow pace but her eyes dart from place to place quickly pretending she hadnot heard th whispers andwas not alerted to something she turned her gaze to Damian.*
Why are you wandering this realm alone?

*Follows doing his best to not fall behind. Seeing she is keeping a slow pace and the nervous way she looks about he naturaly holds one hand near his blade.*
Well.. I have been wandering alone a long time. AS for this realm... Well I have a few questions about that when you are someplace you feel safe enough to talk.
*His instincts tell him something is wrong. His eyes lock on hers seeking for what she knows or fears*

*Rhiannon nods her head ever so slightly.*
Well it should not take too long to get some where safe.
*She keeps her senses stretched as she walks and talks, listening intently to what she can hear. One voice, two voice, three voice. Each one barely audible she can't work out what they are saying but they were up to no good. She yurns and walks backwards a couple of steps aslight smile playing across her face as she whispers.*
I hope you know how to defend yourself.
*Just as her words were spoken three men broke from the woods just ahead of them and quickly headed for the two. Rhiannon ducked and turned pulling her dagger from it's sheath as one man sort to gab her around the neck where she previously stood she slashes the dagger briefly across his knee. Not deeply enough to badly wound but enough to slow down.*

*watching her he sees something is wrong and as she ask her questons he sees and hears the movments. Watching her move so easily in the dress and slash her attacked he is rather surprised. Though it fades fast as he take the pause her wound has caused the man to kick him back into his fellows. Drawing his blade and swining at the same moment as he has learned. Though better with the Katana the drawing attack still works enough. He turnsthe blade enough to only catch the third man across his face. The wet snap of hopefully his jaw spinning him around. Unsure who these men are and not yet wanting to kill them he then moves to get between them and her as the second tries to catch and steady the first as he is falls back into him from the dagger and the kick*
Stand down or die whoever you are!

*The three men briefly paused in thier attack each pne physically diffeent. The fist standing just a few inches talle than Rhiannon lean and muscular but obviously not had something proper to eatfor a while. The second that steadied him stood at six foot plumper than the other two but the strongest as he quickly righted the fist. The third raised his hand to his face staring in mute rage at Damian just a few inches shorter tahn him lithe and seemed able to move quickly as he took aim at Damian revealing a crudely made short sword.*
*Rhiannon moved behind Damian briefly then moved back to his side her eye brightening in anger as none of the men spoke but simply continued the attack. Two aiming for Damian the second dived at Rhiannon she quickly ducked again but lifted her hand up the dagger tearing through his fabric scratching along his chest but he rolles and turned quickly facing her again moving in slow cicles as he sizes her up for how she was to be defeated. She sighed mentally asshe kept her distance from him.*
*She needed the three closer together again in a group if they wee going to escape this fight easily.*

*Too tired for a long fight and even though this brigands looked more begger than soldier he decides he can not risk a long drawn fight to subde. Especialy with one after Rhiannon. He spins as the two rush..wheeling as to let their own bodies confuse their motions. His blade swining in a complet cirlce only to find the back of the one with the short sword. Slashing heavy as he pulls enough of the blow as not to assure him of death. Still the blade as sharp and heavy as it is rips though and slams into his shoulderblade driving him more forward. The other pushing in on Damian and trying to grab him to take the advantage of the large sword away from him.*

*Rhiannon glances over to Damian as the two continue to walk around in circles neither making a move at the other. She continues to go around once, twice three times then suddenly moves forward pushing the one facing her into the two others and Damian with a quick shout of duck the jewel on her silver chain glows brightly attracting the attention of the three as they right themselves. It then briefly flashes as do her eyes. Darkness again clouding the edges of her vision as a blast of hard, heavy ice cold wind slams into the three sending them flying backwards a few feet each one landing on their backs.*
*Lifting their heads up and glancing briefly at the two they give up on their quarry each one limping away as quickly as possible back into the woods from where they came.*
*She briefly glances at Damion her stance uneven.*
Like I said this is not a safe place to be at any time.
*She then collapses backwards another heavy thud echoing as she lands.*

*Watches the effect flash as he dodges away and rolls. Then comes up ready for them to rush him. Seeing them flee and Rhiannon stumble and fall he quickly moves to her. Watching to be sure the brigands have fled*
Yes you did say that.
*Sighs and lits her over his shoulder standing with his blade still in his hand. Then seeing the dagger he sheaths his sword and picks it up with a gimace as his side hurts more and more. Carrying the dagger he slowly walks the way she was leading. The fight and the weight ofcarrying her making his side ache but he decides the risks of staying here are not worth it.*

*Rhiannon stirs slightly as he picks her up but doesn't wake. The jewel around her neck glowing brighter and brighter as they come closer to Wolfenden. A brief and quiet muttering of Coriolis and closer is heard in her sleep.*
*The dim and now few lights of the town come into view as they move closer. The night becoming colder as the night continues she moves slightly against Damian in her sleep holding onto the warmth he provides as he carries her.*

*His pace slow but stedy as he moves toward the town. A sigh of releaf as he sees the few lights. Knowing at least there is not much farther to go. Wondering where the Inn is and how long she will be in her state. Feeling her move and seem to draw closer. Knowing the cold is getting to her and wanting hr out of it he speeds up some and moves toward the town. Once moving into the streets he quickly looks for a building that might be an Inn*

*As he walked through the streets it had become apperant most of the populace had settled in their houses for the night. Rhiannon stirs a little more as the town is slightly warmer than the countryside but still doesn't wake.*
* Only two places remain open at this late hour. The Wolf's Howll Inn and the Heifer each one offeringwarm and welcoming scents and lights indicating warmth to be found within.*

**As he moves through the toen he sees the Inn. A welcome sight as he moves to it. Opening the door he wonders if anyone will say anything about the woman over his shoulder. He moves to the desk seeking a keeper and and a room*
Hello..whoever I need to pay how much is a room for the night.
*He passes some coins and heads upstairs to the room. Once inside he lays her on the bed softly and then moves to sit his pack down. Undoing his weapon belt he sits it aside and pulls a chair near the bed. Sitting down he checks her to be sure she seems alright and then simply goes limp in the chair and relaxes for the first time in a long while. Waiting for her to stir, he fights the urge to simply lay down beside her and sleep*

*Ann accepted the gold pieces for thr room watching the man and the woman closely. She seemed familiar but she couldn't place where all too quickly her mind was distracted by her thoughts as another man walked up to her wanting one of the late night hot meals and a drink.*
