Annalett sighed, caring that people ignored her, but soon noticed the man in the wood, though couldn't quit make out his form due to the trees. She was also aware of Lanie falling off. Annalett brought out her bow, but knew she couldn't shoot it with the baby in the make-shift sling infront of her, but holding it made her feel more secure...

Lanie quickly got back on her horse and drew her sword. she looked around waiting for someone to pop out.

susie also got out her sword waiting for a battle

Gavin walked out to where the others could see him. "Hello." he called out to the one who had spoken to him. "I don't mean any harm." he added, seeing several people were holding weapons.

" I know, i was just making sure you knew we were here." he tapped his mare into a fast walk and walked closer to the man.
" What is someone like you doing out here so late and all alone?"

Lanie looked at the man intently. he seemed charming. he was very handsom. at that moment she was glad she was behind the group so they could not see her blush.

As soundless as he took it Will sheated the dagger again. This man could do no harm on his own.
"That cave.." he whispered to Annalett "perhaps it will be of good use to us.." Then he glanced at the baby in the sling and shook sadly his head. "But no place for the little one."

Lanie heard will. "what will we do with the child? we can't just leave it!" Lanie almost sounded paniced.

"You should.." Will answered calm "It will be the best for the child. Leave him in a village nearby.. Perhaps I can find some people who'll raise him with care and love."

Rory looked back at Will, " Well we can either keep it or we can deposit it at the next town." he looked down at the baby. It was so tiny., and so innocent. He had never been good with babies. That was half the reason his dad sent him to be apprenticed instead of letting him court.

"This will not be a place for a baby to grow up.." he said, still aware of the stranger. "We have to hide, flee, fight, sleep outisde.." Then Will said no more. He felt it was not up to him to make this decision.

" WEll Will I fell that the women should choose. i myself have no expireince with baby's so I don't know what would be best for it." He lowered his head and affectionetly patted the horses dark pelt to calm it.

Will nodded and remained silent, leaving it up to the others to decide on this.

Lanie looked at Annalett. "there right...we can't take it."

"I agree with Lanie but we don't have much time and we can't just leave him with someone who may abuse him",Susie said thinking of what to do with him

"Hunting." Gavin answered. He listened as they talked about the children, and his curiosity peaked. "What are you all doing out here?" he asked.
