Deawen watched the camp silently her ankle was healed and she was eager to roam around. she had already disobeyed Kolth for leaving thier encampment but Deawen didnt' care curosity takes over the adventurous mind. Deawen was very close to the Southerner's camp maybe alittle to close for comfort. Deawen being raised in Rohan was very fimilar with the southern camp structures and customs. Deawen spotted the Leader the same that spotted Deawen before. He was walking with some one else away from the camp. she scurried away from her spot following them at a reasonable distance.

Aërin appeared from the shadows and said with a grin, "Didn't mean to alarm you, Capt'n, Taranor." He nodded to both men and continued: "The two scouts did return sir, I thought it was best to warn you.." He frowned and then lowered himself and gestured to the bushes on the right. "Footsteps.." he whispered and he scolded on himself for talking that loud a minute ago.

----

Niniën had followed Deawen, she knew her curious and impatient nature and she didn't want her to get in trouble again. When it became clear what she was up to Niniën soundlessly caught up with her and grabbed her arm while she hissed: "Deawen, come back to the camp..now"

(I can't really post until Nauriel does...does anyone know where Nauriel is?)

(Sorry...I've been neglecting my job. Go ahead, beat me with rubber chickens. I deserve it.
Miluiel, I'm going to try to make my post sound resonable. The scouts that were after us returned to the camp, and I'm guessing you still want to be alive (I know I do. If you wanted to do somthing, just tell me and I'll edit it.)

Kolth trudged to the edge of camp, muttering fervently about insolent underlings who had to be of banshee descent. Deawen had run off agian. What was with that girl? No doubt she went spying agian without checking in with him. He would have let her go, if she had asked. He had palled to anyway, but as a team. The southerners were too dangerous to scout alone. She should know that. She should have remembereed that how he and Denathies had come near death after Deawen's mistake. They had managed to escape, but just barely.
Kolth found Denathies. "Do you know where Deawen is?" He asked.

Deawen shrugged off Niniën then held her hand over her mouth. Deawen was grinning from ear to ear. It was too late to flee now she was surrounded by bushes that made too much noise.she gave Ninien a look of 'Im not going back till dawn.' Deawen watched the men silently no doubt they heard Ninien or Deawen, Deawen's ankle slightly sore started to hurt again Deawen feared she may not be able to sprint if needed she would have to stand and fight if caught.
( I suppose you want to talk with the Trouble makers?)
Deawen's squire or tag along Hilam chased after Kolth he was panting and very alarmed looking. " Deawen has Run off again..." Hilams face looked panicked " I tried to stop her Sir.... Honest but she moves so fast..and threatened to tie me up in the woods if i didn't stop following her..." Hilam sputtered. He was only twelve and no taller than Deawen he was shy and very fond of Deawen even though Deawen came off as rude to him.(five foot one) Deawen wasn't cruel to Hilam she just wasn't fond of kids so she was stand offish and quiet.

Deawen caught her breath as they neared she wildly looked at Ninien " Go!" she hissed and Drew a small dagger and a knife and made to back away silently just as Elegost spoke. Deawen crouched lower to the ground " go ninien if you are caught Kolth would kill me!go!" she hissed again. Deawen remianed silent to Elegost but never let him move without her knowing it. she tensed and dug the tips of her toes into the ground for leverage.

Aërin drew his sword, glanced at Elegost, waiting for him to speak but slowly walked past Taranor to the other end near the bushes so the girls were surrounded.

---

Niniën sighed and rolled her eyes. Deawen apparently hadn't had enough of her share of recklessness. She considered her chance to get away, she would be quicker than those men, though she didn't like the idea of returning to the camp with the message Deawen was caught by the Gondorians. No, she'd followed Deawen to keep her out of trouble, she wasn't going to leave her now.
"Good evening.." Niniën replied to the man who obviously was their leader.

Deawen slightly cringed at ninien's reply to Elegost and suddenly sighed when she noticed they were surrounded " you could have gone...Now if we return Kolth will have my head.." Deawen said in desparation.

Niniën gave Deawen a look and hoped she would say no more. If they were carefully, they could talk themselves out of this and perhaps even gain some more information. She stood straight, shoulders back and her eyes twinkled so it seemed she was laughing at the men in front of her, yet she remained silent and waited politely for one of them to answer.

"Why?" Niniën asked in a demanding tone. "We did you no harm and you have no right to deny us our freedom." Thoughts ran through her head of escape, but if they took them to their camp.. then they were able to see everything. It would be like a guide tour for free. But then she remembered it wasn't in their advantage of becoming hostage, so she continued with a playful smile while she took a few steps back as if she was to leave: "It's a beautiful night and we still have a long road ahead of us. Enjoy your stay.."

Fearan glanced at Elegost. "She had a point" He said. "They live in these woods, and they wern't causing us any harm. I don't think we should bother."
===================
Kolth glared at the little boy. "I already figured that out. But for your troubles.." He flipped the boy a coin. Hiram immediatly scurried off, intimidated by Kolth's bulk and anger. He grabbed his weapons and went off in search of Deawen.

Deawen liked Ninien's lie it was clever but Deawen knew it may not work for her...Ninien had not be seen the last time Deawen was, she was recgonisible Elegost had saw her. She slowly stood up but did not remove her weapons she hid her exposed weapons in the folds of her cloaks. she kept her head low but not her eyes, Deawen began forming letters with her hands in subtle way so that only Ninien could understand.
Go on ahead tell Kolth Im fine I'll gather information here and report back later
Deawen wanted Ninien to continue her lie even if it didn't cover Deawen it was much better if only one was caught not two.

"Right,you think to know of every traveler in this area?" Niniën said unimpressed, "Put us on the list and you'll see no more of us. We don't know you and we know nothing of your charts." She turned around and wanted to walk to the gap between Elegost and Taranor, not wanting to waste another minute here.

Aërin wondered whether Elegost was about to let them go. He looked sceptic at the girls in front of them, he didn't think them to give anyt valuable information anyway.

Deawen side stepped away from Taranor. This one was on to something it made Deawen nervouse she kept the blades in her hands hidden though she wanted to attack and get out of there. Deawen started to slowly back up step by step.

Deawen didn't need a second glance she sprinted out of there with no question. alittle ways away Deawen had her stallion tied up she hopped in the saddle and back tracked alittle she grabbed ahold of Ninen and took off like an arrow. Deawen didnt' want to talk she was stern and very upset looking. when reaching the camp she slowed Bredol to a walk. Deawen came in the back way searching for Kolth so she could avoid him.
