Rose had walked back, trying to empty her mind of the thoughts of sorrow that kept seeping up at her. Like Tomos, she felt something was wrong when she stepped into camp, and out of habit, grabbed her bow and pulled a red-fletched arrow out of her small quiver at her hip. Staying quiet, she listened to the men talk.

She stayed at the edge of the group, and barely saw the figure of a woman crash into the clearing through the bodies. Rose relaxed her tense grip on her bow for a second, but then tensed again at the mention of the lord's guards.

(ack... not a very good post...)

"Thank the Lord that her trail and stumbling wouldn't lead those soldiers to a certain place." Keith said in a voice filled with sarcasm yet his eyes shone with a kind of mischievousness.
"Tomos.. was one girl not enough for you?" he continued laughing but then wisely shut his mouth.

Ronin snorted derisively and looked down at the girl, "Well, this is unexpected...and rather unwanted. What do you want to do about the new wench, Haven?"

The man turned towards the leader of the group and raised a brow, "We can't just leave 'er here, and there's no telling if she's telling the truth. Could be a spy if she 'ran'," he said pointedly suggesting that the girl could be a spy. "Lilith could patch up the ankle, but I don't think I trust any that be coming from the tyrant's nest." Ronin eyed the girl mistrustfully, for all his kindness, he was not one to trust quickly.

He nodded to Tomos as he entered the group, "Just in time for the fun, Tomos. We have problems on our hands."

Haven scowled at Keith, thoroughly fed up. "You find this funny?" he growled under his breath. His eyes motioned towards the girl before turning to one of the other watchmen. "She's from the house of the king. Take her back to camp for questioning. Tomos, Keith, and I can handle this from here." I hope...
Just so that he would not be misunderstood, he added. "And that's an order."
The watchman nodded, his brawny hands grabbing Marran by the shoulders and hoisting her up.

"Peace, Haven," Ronin cautioned, holding up a hand trying to bring order back to the group.

"It wouldn't do to have you two fighting while there are more troubling things at hand. We are to fight, commotion amongst friends would only mean a schism in our group that the opposition would take advantage of. Save your quibbling for later, after we have another victory," he added the last part with a friendly smile, patting the leader on the back. Haven was a good man he thought, if not a bit tight in manner. He could do with a bit of loosening, people being led shouldn't see the chip on their leader's shoulder.

Marran yelped as they hoisted her up and kept her throbiing ankle off the grounds as well. "Please I meant no harm. I had to hink because I belive My Lord is wrong, I support your group."

He rubbed his head, goodnes the child was loud, he would be surprised if the Lord's men did not here her yelling from their posts. He cursed under his breath, Haven was right, they couldn't take time with the girl. If someone were to set upon them now, one would have to protect her and that would put them at a disadvantage.

Ronin shot the loud woman a glare, "It's not a good thing to yell while we are trying to be quiet, give us quiet woman. At the moment it matters not to us whether you are a danger or a friend, you are injured and therefore a liability if we are attacked. The guard will take you back to our place and someone may take mercy on your pain and wrap that ankle if you are quiet."

He turned back towards the group intent on listening to Haven's plans for the men that had follewd after their band.

Marran hung her head and tightened her lips, sure she would be returned home, but the wrath of her lord was nothing, she would rather him not find out what she had done.

The man who had a hold on her tightened his grip, supporting her on her wounded ankle while forcefully leading her back to the outlaws' encampment.

Marran looked around as they approched the camp and she was suprised at how many men the outlaws had. But somewhere in the back f her mind, she could not help but wonder, which one of them killed her brother.

[ just to be sure, are Keith and Tommos dismissed? ]

Watching the woman, Rose couldn't help but feel some pity for her, but dismissed it without a single thought. Straightening her back, and lifting her chin to give her usual stubborn look, she walked up to Haven.
"If you would have me, I would like to join the group on figuring what to do about the oncoming soldiers," she said, all the pain that was in her voice before now gone...

Haven gave her a look that clearly said his answer before he spoke. "You should be back at camp with the women and children, Rose."

"Please, Haven. I am no use to the women accept to gather herbs, which we already have plenty of. My marksmanship can be held to your adventage. I'm willing to give my life fighting for our cause. I do not wish to die by a fire cooking food for soldiers. I want to fight," Rose replied, her jaw clenched stubbornly. Besides, she thought, I have nothing else to live for but this cause...
