Eleshna smiled slightly, tilting her head against his shoulder as they walked. "Don't be sorry, you weren't at fault.... it'll just take time to get over it for the both of us I suppose."

She smiled wider, her thoughts wandering farther from the subject of the past, her mind consumed by the present.

"Yeah I supose it will take some time." he replied holding his arm around her shoulder.

"I'm just glad we have that time." he notted as they walked on. He wasn't all that sure where they wre going, besides to the blacksmith... where that was he did not know.

Eleshna paused outside a small shack and looked at it for a moment before reluctantly pulling away from Jaden.

She knocked on the door then stood there with her hands clasped behind her back, a slightly relaxed smile on her face.

The short, rather roundish swordsmith, peered through the door sleepily, then when he saw Eleshna, he muttered in an irritated manner. "You must like wakin' me up at midnight... seems ta me a few years afore now, you were 'ere! What's it now?"

"I am in need of a sword, master swordsmith," she replied, brushing past him into the dimly lit work shop. "Something simple that will do me until I seek an elven crafted sword..." she handled a few of the swords there, and selected a rather simple one, but when she turned to display her choice to the swordsmith, the man had slipped out a side door.

"Wha...." Eleshna looked puzzled at the sudden departure, then became more alert as she glanced around the shop then headed for the door.

Jaden imediately pulled out his sword and stepped aside so Eleshna could come out the door while he watched the streets.

"What's going on?" he asked her.

"That's what's going on," Eleshna mumbled as she nodded towards a few cloaked men with swords who were speaking with the unmistakable short figure of the swordsmith.

"Village guards... seems they more than likely guessed who was at fault for the trouble caused the last time I was here." She muttered under her breath and turned to walk away.

Jaden hurried off as well, trying his best to look normal and not draw anymore attention to himself from anyone who might possibly see him.

"I take it we are going to have to get supplies somewhere else then?" he asked.

Eleshna nodded firmly with an exhasperated sigh. "Seems Old Aldor will have to do without my stories for some time... at least he's half elf, so he'll be here when all have forgotten...." She commented thoughtfully for a moment before quickening her pace, growing more nervous by the moment.

She retrieved Syndar and hurriedly led the horse from the village, glancing back to notice torches being lit in the gloom.

Jaden followed along, and soon Azher appeared out of the night to greet them.

Jaden climbed on the dragon and set out away from the town. They would not stop for the night, not with the men looking for Eleshna.

Eleshna let out another sigh, this time empty. "I'm sorry about that... of course it wasn't like either of us could rest easy in such a place anyway..."

(just checking, you got the sword right?)

"That's ok... I'm just sorry that you have to deal with that still." Jaden replied.

Azher and Syndar walked along through the night as the moon shone half way full above. The cool night air surounding them in a buble of peacefullness as they drew away from the town.

(Yesh ^^ I hath stolen the sword.... lol)

Eleshna smiled slightly, looking towards the moon. "It does not matter.... I have dealt with it my whole life, it makes no difference now... Besides, I like it out in the wild, out in the open."

She smiled softly, "and with you as my companion, it makes it all the more enjoyable..."

Jaden smiled and looked around. "I know...but it would still be nice to put it all behind wouldn't it?" he asked.

Eleshna nodded, her gaze drifting slightly as she thought for a moment. "Yes... but the years will fade the memories of even elves..." she pondered quietly.

"Yeah...If there is anything I could do... or if you ever wnat to talk about something I'm always here to listen." he offered.

Eleshna smiled. "And I'm here for you, Jaden, and always will be."

She sighed, more contently this time, and let her gaze shift to the sky, the stars bright and cheery, then took a deep breath of the crisp night air.

Jaden felt peace fall over him as he relaxed once more, there distance from the town growinig farther by the minute. "How far would you like to go before stopping for the night?" he asked Eleshna.
