((((Okay, that works)))))
Rochnur watched as the poor man fell asleep. "He must be exausted." Rochnur thought to himself. "The fact that he's half starved to death doesn't help either." Rochnur stared at the sleeping man, then turned to Cora. "I think we should wait until he wakes." Rochnur said. "Let him regain his strength."

Cora looked at Rochnur a little disbelieving. She was compassionate, but not stupid. "Listen... he has his mind set on escaping because he has no other hope... in his mind we are all orcs, holding him captive, and he'll do anything to escape. We let him gain too much strength and he will be at our throats... we'll feed him more, and we'll give him rest, but I wouldn't go as far as letting him regain his full strength..."

Nevertheless, she leaned back against the wagon, her arms folded and her dark hair drifting over her shoulder in waves, as she waited for Malhock to wake on his own.

Renald had been able to cut the bonds enough, but didn`t want to act out yet and Renald just stopped then, he leaned on the wagon wheel with a slight smile. He looked at Cora with mockery in his eyes.

"So... tell me lady how is his situation going to get any better, if he doesn`t refuse? If he refuses and fights he might escape, if he doesn`t he will without a doubt be hanged. Who do you think rules over these things? Elessar huh? No, I`ve met couple of them and they are stubborn fools, they`ll execute him with or without noble acting..."

Cora glared towards the thief. "I think it would be best for you to close your mouth.... those words will not help him, and it certainly would not do any good for you"

Renald laughed at her.

"And I thought that speaking the truth was supposed to be a good thing? Deny it as much as you want to, but I know the rules and the ways of Gondor, from the lowest streets to the highest towers I know how people live and what sort of people are in charge. Every single day you meet another thief, then another day you hear he got impaled by a guard`s spear or shot in the throat. You realise that he wasn`t such a bad guy and that sticks to everyone, but ever wondered why there are thieves in the first place? Do you think we are greedy in the start?"

Cora's glare faded into a strangely calm smile. "So what if you are right about Gondor, all the more for you to fear... we take the prisoner to Rohan. Things are different there. Besides, what happens to the common theives is not my problem. I chase bigger game, such as orc, warg, and wild men. This is merely something I was asked to do..."

"By whom? Elessar? Or perhaps Eomer the king of Rohan?"

Renald hmped.

"I just do whatever to survive and yes I am a thief, I could have done something else, but I am just too damn good at this stuff and I will be all tough I own an inn..."

Renald grinned.

"Which is not enough always..."

Deawen grumbled something in a diffrent speech. "and do you think we will yield to your threats of him being hanged? i won't but i do have hope for him it is not that hard really it's mainly favor and politics....that is where i come in with alittle bribery and favor King Eomer may come round. sides he owes me a favor for my services..." Deawen said

"I would have to say that you lie, but say whatever you want..."

Renald shrugged with a smile.

"But if I am wanted in Gondor and you are taking him somewhere in Rohan to be judged, then how can you blame me for anything? I haven`t commited crimes in Rohan and technically there is nothing wrong in standing up to myself, the ranger attacked me and I made a request you shot me, then you hurt me more in a way I am the victim here..."

Renald smiled.

Deawen went over to Renald she cut his bonds "then go..." she walked away a step then turned she drew a knife in a flash and held it to his throat "but if i see you around us again i will kill you i will not take you to authorities i will kill you myself. am i understood?"

Cora muttered in elvish under her breath and strode closer to Renald. "Your mouth alone will get you killed..." she hissed, her green eyes ablaze. Calming herself she stood straight, looking down at Renald. "You burned our wagon... that is offence enough... and you tried to help our charge to escape."

Cora was only slightly taken aback by Deawen's actions, but they seemed fitting somehow and she stood back and watched.

Renald smiled grimly.

"I`ll be a ghost"

Renald got up and took out his weapons carefully, he put them on him and smiled at them.

"You owe me a horse by the way..."

Renald turned away without another word and ran away.

Cora returned to her task of harnessing the horse, her green eyes focused for a moment on the retreating back of the thief. She smiled slightly towards Deawen. "I do believe you might yet have your chance to use one of those knives of yours... I have my doubts he will stay away. Seems he enjoys taunting us..."

Renald ran where he had set his camp and sneaked up the hill briging his equipment with him, he couldn`t resist cracking up at tomorrows sight as they would find themselves in a difficult situation.

Deawen fingered a knife she smiled at cora's words these were no ordinary knives they were poisoned with a posion that kills with in seconds there was an antidote but normaly it's so late.

"you should have used that blade." Rochnur said to Deawen. "I don't trust that man. What's to keep him from coming back and slicing our throats?" Rochnur growled softly, but quickly smiled. "But what's done is what's done. I won't worry any more than I have to. Just when he comes back, let me have a whack at him. I need to whack some one really badly"
He whistled a highpitched birdcall, and Kal came bursting through the forest, prancing as he trotted up to his master.
"Show off" Rochnur muttered.
