Gethien wandered around the streets of Minas Tirith munching on an apple she had relieved a vender of. She was looking up at a signboard when she bumped into a girl of about 20 years. "Hey! Watch where you're goin'!" she said even though she knew it was her fault. Then she looked the girl up and down, she was dressed very poorly, and looked like she hadn't seen the light of day in a while, she was very pale, also she was jumpy as if she had done something wrong and didn't want to get caught. "If you're gonna be wanderin' the streets you oughtta know where it is you're goin'!" Gethien stated sensing that the girl had no idea where she was or where she was going. "'Ows about I show you around a bit? Eh? I could 'elp you find a place to sleep... at least for tonight." she offered. She waited for the girl (Relena) to reply.

deawen waited for someone to come down she stopped making noise and stood in the doorway.

Relena jumped slightly and backed away when the girl scolded her, "I..I'm sorry..."

When the girl offered to show her around she hesitantly agreed.

Renald walked calmly along the dark alleys with his hand ready to snatch his bow and after shooting an arrow to draw his sword, he passed few guards with his head down and finally entered the area of Minas tirith that he liked to call the safe zone since there he was among those who were just like him. He walked past some alleys and greeted few orphans even giving them some food that he had put in his pocket from the prison. Next he arrived to a dark alley and ran towards the wall, he jumped off a crate grabbing an edge of a small balcony. He jumped over it and looked around.

"Home sweet home..."

He had made the house so that there was only two exits, the balcony and a secret tunnel, which no one could ever suspect and he had always a reserve for escaping Minas Tirith when in danger so that he wouldn`t starve outside.

Relena hesitated and shook her head, "I think I will find my own way around, but thank you." She walked off quickly. She wouldn't mind being shown around, but right now she just needed to hide. If any guards found her she would be the one to get hanged. Relena wandered around the city, hiding in an alley whenever a guard passed by. She wasn't used to this kind of life and didn't watch her back as well as she should have. She bumped into a person, lifting an apple the had in a basket. She apologized and went on her way once again.

"Suit yerself" Gethien said as the girl ran off, she was strangely relieved when the girl declined her offer but for some reason Gethien followed her, noticing that she ducked into an alley everytime a guard walked past. Gethien chuckled to herself She thinks every guard is after her! She can't see that they have bigger things to worry about and don't even know she exists! Still Gethien continued to follow her, making sure that the girl never saw her. As it got dark Gethien realized that she'd better get back to her own hiding place but she couldn't bring herself to leave the girl out on her own, she'd get caught for sure! The girl was standing still so Gethien crept up behind her and pulled her into an alley, covering her mouth so that no gaurds would be attracted by screams. "Now hush up ye hear! I'm helping you not hurtin' you! I'll give you a place to rest and hide if you'll just stop squirmin'!!"

Relena felt someone grab her and push her against the wall in an alley. A hand covered her mouth. She squirmed and looked at the one that had her. It was the girl before. At her command she stopped and waited for her to uncover her mouth, then she whispered, "What makes you think I need to hide? I have no reason to hide, I am just a servant." She tried to get away from her, then glared slightly, "Let me go"

"You won't live two seconds if I let you go! I've been watchin' you. You've got somethin' to hide! Don't think I can't tell! Now do you want to live or not? Your choice!" Gethien stepped away from her to give her the choice.

Relena hesitated, she knew the guards would be looking for Renald all night and if they found her out there they would know who got him out. She sighed slightly, "Alright...I'll take your help...thank you..."

"Good, now follow me" She pulled the hood of her cloak up and peered out around the corner, it was clear, no guards. Then she whispered "Act casual, don't looks shifty. Walk like the other people, look confident and no one will bother you!" They made their way through the streets and were almost to Gethien's hiding place when 3 guards from the prison could be seen coming towards them, Gethien naturally walked into an alley so that it looked like that's where she was headed. But to her horror that's where the guards were headed too! She frantically racked her brain for an escape plan. She looked over and saw a balcony not to far up, it would be very easy for both girls to get up on it before the guards reached them or could see them. "Come on!" she said as she tugged the girl's sleeve towards the balcony, Gethien boosted the girl up and then jumped on a crate and climbed up after her. When she finally got up she turned to see the guards pass below them, none of the guards even looked up, the girls had escaped. Then she turned and saw a man in the room! It was Renald!

Relena doubted Gethian for a moment, had she trusted her only for this woman to lead her to the guards. Her trust was regained when Gethian boosted her up to a balcony. Relena grabbed the rail and climbed up, then offered her a hand up. When they were up and safe she looked back and saw Renald right there. She felt like a fool, but didn't let that show through.

Gethien was shocked to see Renald. He was supposed to be in prison! Or swinging from a noose! He was the last person she had expected to see. But she wouldn't let him see that. No, she wouldn't let him see any hint of fear so she calmly said "So... you escaped did ya? Can't say that I expected less from the 'Great Renald'. You did give my bunch some food didn't ya? They'd be lookin' for it!" Gethien didn't trust Renald, he could pull a knife and slit her throat and not think twice about it. She didn't like the position she was in, but she liked the position she'd be in down in the alley less, so she stood her ground.

When Gethien spoke to Renald about his escape, Relena bit her lip and glanced at him. Keeping it silent about how he escaped. She stood back, pretending she didn't even know who Renald was.

Renald was sitting comfortably in a wooden chair and throwing his knife in the air, each time he catched it the blade and did nothing as Gethien came, but stared at her all the time.

"Yes I did escape with help of course all tough I perhaps could have done it on my own... "

Renald his knife on his own throat.

"This is one neck that isn`t going to be haging on the gallows..."

Renald placed the knife on his belt and smiled.

"But might I ask what are you doing here? Oh hi there..."

Renald said noticing Relena.

"How are you? I`m glad you came by, but I sure as hell don`t know what you are doing here..."

Renald pointed at Gethien.

"Since you deserted me in the streets, she helped me to find a place to stay for the night. We were escaping from some guards who are looking for you and will be for me if they see me out of the dungeon. We had to climb up here...unfortunately it ended up being your home..." Relena was not the happiest with him at the moment.
