Adastrea hesitated, "Thinren, I do not really wish to stay in the barracks...if Neracelc does try anything it would just give him more people to kill. Many lives lost are not worth just mine."

Meanwhile Neracelc had turned away from the window to prepare for the takeout of Adastreas companions, he cleaned many knives and placed them in handy places in his suit when they could be quickly used and finally checked his new crossbow that he had bought just for this.

Their ether die fighting me weakened by the poison or they will die in the poison...

Neracelc began spreading poison in the darts of the crossbow and the knives.

Thinren raised an eyebrow.
"You do not seriously think he can get past over 50 men? Then there's me. But after all it is your choice, but i don't think I could help you much if your not in the barracks, I have other duties."

She sighed slightly and looked down. She didn't know what to do. Decision making was not one of her strong points. "I will let all of you decide, this is not just about me." She said quietly.

*Sen looked outside, briefly, then turned back into the others.*
Then I shall go out alone, and see what may be seen. Yet I shall not leave you alone. Raelun! It is time to view the clouds on the horizon.
*A man came from between a couple of soldiers, and threw off a dirty grey cloak to reveal deep, sea blue armor.*
Yes, Sen, you have need of me?
*Sen pointed him to the others.*
I need you to guard these people while I am gone. There is an evil from Mordor in the city after them, and I want them safe while I try to draw him out. I leave them in your capable hands.
*Raelun bowed to Sen, and Sen bowed back before walking out the door. He began to move through the city, seemingly shopping for goods and herbs, but always aware.*

Deawen looked at Raelun with scorn what she would give to have ten of her best men right now, "i would rather fall into shadow than be Guarded...

"as i have said earlier I have my own home here no one knows about it
it's very safe should be empty but well guarded.." Deawen smiled at the thought that she had her spies about and the gondorains knew nothing of them. Deawen waited for the reply she knew it was safe she would go there with or without them though she felt guilty if she left them.

Thinren frowned. He had a plan set up and ready to go now they hesitated from going to one of the safest places in Minas Tirith. He shook his head.
"I disagree. The barracks is the safest place. I have to go back to my duties now but i will keep my eyes on you. The barracks will always be open to you."
He turned and walked back towards the guardhouse.

Adastrea sighed, she hated disappointing anyone. Maybe she should just stay in the barracks. She looked at the others, then at the ground. She didn't feel right putting the lives of other men at risk, even if it is what they lived for. She looked at the others again, "Maybe the barracks would be a better idea..." she said quietly.

Deawen sighed :"well then if you need me... i guess you won't find me well here..." Deawen reached in to her pocket and pulled out a piece of crumbled parchment "this is the exact location of my home if you need me but don't let them or them see this okay!" Deawen pointed to the barracks and to Sen's men. Deawen lead Bredol up the city streets to her home. it was a small house with a tiny courtyard there was three rooms and one stall for Bredol. Deawen sighed it was too quite for her liking almost as if she was expecting someone to pop out of a dark corner though this was unlikely because of her spies about. " well Bredol we are home!" Deawen whispered Bredol whickered in responce.

Adastrea took the parchment and tucked it away in her bag. She watched Deawen walk off with a sigh. She was now left with a man who shehad never seen before. She felt more uncomfortable than she had in her home when she was alone. "There is no need for you to stand guard over me, I will stay in the barracks." She said quietly.

*Raelun nodded, his face unreadable.*
I know, my lady; yet Sen has told me to watch over you, and even in the barracks of Minas Tirith there may be some danger. Sen is only trying to protect you, my lady. He has your welfare in his mind.

She sighed slightly, feeling like she was being babysat in a way. "Alright" She said as she started towards the barracks with him. When she got to the level Thinren had spoken of she walked around, looking for a room to bathe and change, when she found it she turned, "I will be out shortly" With that she went in, got ready and hesitated sneaking out a window, but knew it was not right of her to do. She walked out, clean for the first time in days. She was out of the bloody and torn red dress and now wearing a flowy dress that was lavendar atthe bottom and faded into pink and then to yellow. She set her bag down and sat, working on combing out her long black hair, not really knowing what to say to this man.

*Raelun sat down beside her.*
My lady, Sen has also instructed me to answer any questions you may have of him, his mission, or any news from far away. To an extent, of course; some things must not be revealed. Yet.

"I do not really have any questions other than whether or not I can trust him, and only time will show that." She said quietly. "I have no news from other places, I am just a servant girl" She said, realizing after she said that that she was not dressed anywhere near therank of a servant. She was dressed more like a high elf or princess. She bit her lip slightly, trying to figure out how to get out of this one if he said anything about it.

*Raelun raised his eyebrow, but did not speak anything of it.*
I see. Well, I will tell you this: Sen is the one person I would trust entirely with my life; he has not let me down, and if he set his mind to protect you, no harm can come to you. I am twice his age, and have seen him do things that I fear to do, and go through places where I would fear to tread. I was one of the original members of the Storm, before Sen was even born, yet he has done more for the good of Middle Earth by himself than I believe the whole Storm has in the time that I have been in it. So, my lady, I think your trust is safe with him.

Adastrea nodded slightly. Could she trust someone just because she was told she could by a stranger? She sighed and decided it was probably best. She leaned against the side of the window, looking out over the white walls of the city. Even with someone in the room with her, she felt horribly lonely.
