Rumour follows them to the cave and slips inside, disappearing into the darkness. Only her voice is heard. "I didn't say....." A slight smirk is heard in her voice, and she rematerializes. "But you can call me Rumour.... It's what I am...."

Knyn raised an eyebrow at the woman's tendency for mystery, then shrugged. Such was not his business. He looked over at Orien's forlorn frame huddled on the ground. He felt compelled to comfort him, but that much was a gesture of sentiment foreign to him. Instead he continued gazing thoughtfully at the former prince, as if mulling something over in his head.
At last he turned to Rumour and smiled without mirth. "Some talent you have."

Rumour nods, watching the 'prince' as well. "I'm a Shapeshifter..... I was born with it..." She looks back at Knyn. "What d'you do?....."

Orien stood, but did not interrupt the two's conversation. A faint clash of lightning rang out, followed inevitably by a sudden thick downpour of rain. Crossing his arms, he watched with tired clouded eyes. The thunder echoed sporadically, but not often, and it seemed the storm was going farther away, despite the heavy rain.
Feeling that he was perhaps too quiet, he said the first thing that came to mind. " Rumour..Interesting, but lovely." He smiled courtiously. Despite all his years wasted away, rotting in his cell, he managed to retain all his manners and gentle charm. His eyes trailed over to Knyn out of interest, and he studied him quiantly. " You were never in service, were you?"

Rumour glances back at Orien when he speaks. She's never gotten a compliment before, except derisive ones from enemies, so hearing one that isn't outwardly sarcastic is a new thing. "Oh.... Thank you, I s'pose...." Her jet black eyes glitter oddly in the faint light.

Knyn snorted and turned away. He looked gravely outside at the downpour. Looked like they would be spending the night. They couldn't risk a fire, and besides wouldn't be able to find any dry wood anyway. Knyn sat down with his greatsword across his lap. He leaned his head against the cold stone wall of the cavern, feeling the first effects of his meditative mood slip to claim him.
"How long since you've been out of Aphetma?"

Orien nodded to Rumour, and sat down, leaning his back against the wall of the cave. Not looking at Knyn, he answered quietly, resting his head back. " Eight years. "

Knyn sat up, leaned forward in astonishment. "In prison?"

He smirked, his ivory canines glinting slightly. " Don't act so surprised. I should still be in there, left to rot with a piece of information that could overthrow the kingdom, a simple reminder that would leave me sleepless..that's what he wanted." He shook his head, his sea-gray optics now on Knyn. " Have you ever seen Aphetma?"

Rumour watches them silently, her black eyes still glittering. "Why were you imprisoned?.." Her voice is quiet. "And yes, I did mention an army... I can get you one...." Her black eyes watch them unblinkingly, seeing everything and seeming as though she's looking straihgt through them both....

A small chuckle was muffled through his hands as he rubbed his face, leaning upwards. He knew that they would ask these things, he just did not think they'd be so intent on knowing the answers this very night, in fact, he had hoped that they already knew, to save him from speaking. Nonetheless, he enjoyed the small company, a pleasure he had be deprived of for a long time. Speaking among friends or even strangers was a breath of fresh air. " Killing the King, just small things like that.." He smiled, shrugging.

Knyn leaned back again, his tanned visage hard. "I can't say that I've been there many times," he replied shortly in a voice that said that was all they'd get from him. His dark eyes glinted in the dim light. "And an army at the moment is out of the question."

" I wasn't suggesting we go out and look for a bunch of boyscouts, but one will be needed in the future, perhaps not the near future. It's a fragile mission, one that needs to be left for much meticulous planning and thought. However, three against a million is hardly a welcoming thought. This is a discussion best left alone for the time being, I'd suggest trying to catch some sleep if you can." He leaned back once more, drawing his hood up over his head as he did so, but before he let sleep take him, he added lightly to Knyn, " I was just going to say that it's breathtakingly beautiful in the winter, you shouldn't miss it." And with that he remained quiet, the only hint of life coming from him was the soft motion of his chest as he breathed.

Rumour watches the two men as they sleep, her mind revolving around the details of the day. Her black eyes rove restlessly about the small cave, alighting on different things, most of them random. She stares out through the small entranceway and sighs, sleep something she doesn't find often. A noise sounds outside, and Rumour peers out, looking for the source, her body now as black as night. In the faint moonlight she can discern around ten black figures, moving through the trees towards them. "Our trail... They picked up our trail...." The thought enters her mind and she looks over at the two sleeping men again. On the one hand, she could turn them in for huge rewards, and on the other, she could help them, have an adventure, and maybe find a friend, something else that was hard for her. Rumour turned back shook the prince's shoulder....

Orien had been already been awake for several minutes, and he snarled silently as the woman shook him. Looking over his shoulder at her he nodded reassuringly, then gestured towards Knyn--he could not tell if he was asleep or not. Orien's form lay pressed against the countours of the cavern, motionless and obscurred. He did not feel that the figures were the dark soldiers however, they had a different air about them, but his hand gripped the hilt of a long dagger at his side.

Rumour looks over at Knyn, then nods. Silent as a shadow she moves across the small space and shakes him as well, then slips back to her normal position, hand on something unseen in the darkness. Suddenly her voice flickers into the prince's mind. "Who d'you think they are?.... They smell different, but still against us....." Her jet black eyes continue to rove restlessly around.
