Niko smiled as he held her, glad to see he had spoken his mind and she reacted well to it.
He brought their foreheads together and spoke " it matters not to me if you are half elven or dwarven or even half orc.you are my wife,my love.that is forever"
He pressed a kiss to her chest, directly above her heart. He loved her, that was never going to change.

She smiled. She was still upset, but the fact that he wouldn't fail her, that he didn't fail her, made her happy. She thought a minute, then swallowed. "What if there's more? I mean...more that I can do?" the thought scared her, she just wasn't sure. She was about to speak again when a knock came at the door. She looked at Niko, not sure if they should answer it or not.

Niko was about to reply when there was a knock at the door. He stiffened, unsure. He stood up and drew the curtains over the broken window, hoping to hide it.
Turning, he signalled Nienna to open the door. Niko stood behind Nienna as she reached to open the door, with his hand on her shoulder. "I'm here"

She nodded and opened the door, and there stood Elanor's sister. "Can I help you?" Nienna was skeptical as to why she should show up. Elena spoke hurriedly "Ye've got to go, now, royal guards are in the city looking for you." she handed Nienna a leather bag of supplies "Take these! Your horse is ready, you'll have to go out the window. Hurry! There's a back gate you can go out of! Take care, stay safe!" Nienna closed the door when she left and turned to Niko in panic. "I thought we would have lost them!" she began throwing things together, frightened.

''Apparently not.'' He packed all of his things and got dressed for travel.
How had they been found out? Was it Elanor's doing? The minister perhaps? He found the silver lining to their situation; they were married, whatever came, they were husband and wife. Nothing could take that away from them.
He packed all the ale and food they had in the room before turning to Nienna, ''Ready when you are.'' He took her hand ''Do not do anything stupid, just to protect me. Whatever happens, we face it together''

She put on her blue dress, her cloak, an her vambraces, and packed the wedding dress away carefully. She gave him a crooked smile, half joking "What falls under the category of stupid?" she turned serious "I know, love, I promise. We face it together." she reached up and gave him a hard kiss, then stepped back "I am ready." she extinguished the fire and went to the window, sliding it open. Underneath stood Raven. She climbed onto the tree and down to Raven.

He rolled his eyes at her first words but felt assured as she became serious.
Niko returned her kiss and then followed her, shouldering his pack. He pulled his hood up and climbed down the tree, and walked behind Nienna as they got on Raven.
''Where to this time? Or maybe we should focus on escaping town first?''

"I suggest escaping town first. Maybe in rivendell we would be offered protection." she pulled her own hood up and headed for the gate, making Raven go as fast as she could. They rode for hours, Raven's pace still strong. Nienna's mind tried to analyze as they rode on, and she took a zig zagging path through the woods and small trails. "Are you alright?" she asked, worried Niko wasn't up for the travel, yet they were given no choice.

''Do not worry for me, love. I am fine.'' He held her a little closer resting, his head on her shoulder.
Niko had a thought for Nienna. Would she even want to? It wasn't safe for them to try it in the present but Niko brought it up anyway.
''Do you have no desire to see her? Your mother, I mean. ''

She shook her head "I have no desire to find a woman who deceived my father and threatened my family." she would not go down that path. She slowed Raven. They were far enough ahead now that they could rest. "Where shall we stop?" she felt weakened from her lack of sleep, and the few restless bits of sleep she gathered had not been enough. Yet she refused to let it show.

Nodding his head, ''As you wish'' It was entirely her decision, he also agreed with her.
''We could set up camp there'' He pointed to a small clearing,they had not met anyone for miles. Hopefully it would remain that way.
He got down from Raven, wincing slightly due to his chest,but he hid it from Nienna.
He sat down, his back leaning against a tree before opening a bottle of ale.

She dismounted Raven, and nearly fell on her weak legs. She grabbed onto Raven to keep herself up. Once she steadied herself, she took out a loaf of bread and handed it to Niko and sat next to him, biting her lip in thought. "you should try to get some sleep, for your injuries." she laid a hand on his shoulder.

He ripped the bread into two pieces before handing her one half.
''Perhaps you are in greater need of sleep. You almost fell getting off of Raven. I like that you worry for me but I also worry for you. Much has happened to you in the last day. ''
He moved closer to her and put his arm around her, allowing her to lean her head on his shoulder.
''You sleep, no arguments. It would make me feel better, love''

"Sleep with me, Niko." she set the bread in her lap, not hungry. "They are far enough behind." she pulled him down to lay on the ground with her. She held him close, willing them both to sleep, they both needed it.

He was going to protest, but as she pulled him to the ground, all thoughts to resist left his mind. He felt warm as she held him close.
Before long, Niko had fallen asleep in her arms, one hand resting over hers.

She slept peacefully, until she was awoken by sounds in the brush. Before she could react, both she and Niko were grabbed by rough hands, they disarmed Niko, and she was about to call out when a hand was placed over her mouth. Several more men entered the camp. They were not from Gondor. They spoke a strange language and wore turbans. Her skin crawled. Slave traders! They would take them to the far desert! She struggled violently, her hands were tied behind her back quickly, and a gag over her mouth. She looked to Niko. She was terrified. And she had told them both to go to sleep! She was a fool!
