Alluria was walking through the marketplace, all the stalls closing now when a hand wrapped around her wrist and pulled her. she let out a startled gasp and conjured a flame in the other hand before she looked to see it was Old Hattie.
"Hattie? you scared me half to death!" Alluria said, extinguishing the flame.
"you should be scared" Hattie whispered.
"Hattie? what's wrong?" Alluria asked, putting a hand out towards Baxter to calm him, as he had started to growl.
"i too can get places i shouldn't Alluria and i heard what that warrior said, you are in grave danger Alluria"
Alluria tried to think of someway to calm the old woman down before she gave herself a heart attack, so she said "they'd have to catch me first Hattie" then smiled.
but that only seemed to upset her more "don't you understand how important this is?!"
"Hattie, let go" Alluria said in a demanding voice.
the woman only then seemed to realized she was still holding the woman's wrist and that her grip had been getting tighter. she let go, Alluria pulled her slightly red hand to her chest.
"i'm gonna be fine Hattie, they don't even know i exist, at the most through gossip, and they aren't likely to hear gallean gossip, now go calm down Hattie, i'll see you tomorrow"
"i hope we'll see each tomorrow" Hattie muttered before turning.
