Goldleaf walked towards the edge of the camp and parted a few trees, peering from the branches. The path to Osgiliath led down a sloping hill, the trickle of the river was close. "Let's get going," she said.

She shrugged and took the food off of her head, uwrapping she ate a bit and chewed happily, "I don't care where it lands so long as it remains relatively clean." She smiled and took another bite, and gave a simple nod in response to Goldleaf's suggestion.

"Has everyone eaten?" Goldleaf asked, still looking from the trees. "We need to leave soon." Her frustration showed through in her voice, the clear ringing agitiation of annoyed youth. She turned back towards towards the others, who were all breaking their fast. She couldn't be bothered to eat anything before setting off; she kept standing by determination alone.

In Osgiliath, Captain Faramir of the Ithilien rangers was sitting on a lump of white stone which had been knocked from a building, sharpening his sword. During the battle in Ithilien, he had sent several of his rangers into the forest to aid the fighters there, but they had not come back. They were probably dead. His mind, grim, rested on Mordor's next move. They had tried to send orcs through the forest into Osgiliath, what would they try next? His every thought was about how best to protect the city. Of course, he bitterly noted that Boromir would have probably known exactly what to do in such a situation. But Boromir was dead, and as the hobbits he had met had told him, had been weakened by the lure of the ring. As the last son, Faramir had a duty to do everything he could.

In Ithilien, Goldleaf stood waiting for her companions, anxious to get going.

She leaned on her cane and turned her head towards Goldleaf, "I am ready as ever. Though I am not so certain about the rest of our group. Perhaps they need a bit more time?" The last sentence was directed at the company, her head merely tilting to the side to relay the change in conversation.

Goldleaf sighed then smiled. "It is rather early," Goldleaf admitted, "but it's better we get there earlier than later."

(Right... here's me hoping to start this RP up again With a very long post...)

Goldleaf walked over towards the trees again, leaving her companions to regain their strength and eat. She darted through them and walked a little way down the hill. Once she had started walking, it seemed only sensible to continue. The others weren't going anywhere, so she would have some time to herself. Halfway down the grassy slope, she sat down, resting her head on her knees and wrapping her arms around her legs. She could see Osgiliath properly from here, see the glittering flash of the river. Osgiliath was as white and beautiful as she remembered it. A smile spread on her face as she looked at her old homeland. She had not been there in so very long.
However, even sitting relaxed as she was, her hearing was still alert. She could hear footsteps and voices. She scrambled up from her sitting position, her hand moving to the hilt of her sword.
"No need for that, lass," a voice called up to her. Two rangers were walking up the hill towards her. They were dressed in green with their hoods up. She dropped her hand from the hilt and the first one nodded and smiled grimly.
"That's better," he said. "We've come to escort you and your group to Osgiliath."
Goldleaf frowned. "What for?" she said. "We can make it there perfectly fine by ourselves."
"We've got orders," the second one said, "to escort you. This isn't a pleasant area to be travelling about alone in these days. And after what happened in your... well, cross with the orcs the other day, we don't want a repeat performance."
Goldleaf nodded slowly and looked at them properly. They had come here to do a job, and wanted her to cooperate.
"Alright," she said, quietly. The first ranger walked up to her.
"Take us to where your friends are, and we'll lead the way," he said. Goldleaf sighed and turned, leading them back on the path she had taken down the hill, back towards the trees, beyond which her companions were still sitting.
"Don't be alarmed," she said to them. "These two men are to escort us to Osgiliath, for our safety."
