There. C'mon then, let's see what you're made of. As soon as this bloodhound seemed to catch her scent, Tanya made a beeline for the alleyway between the two bars. She stepped quickly and carefully into cover, blending in with the crowd to bait the new kid into the bad part of town, except...

Is he..? No, shit, no!

Tanya dove to the ground as an arrow whizzed overhead and buried itself in the wall ahead of her. Okay, this guy wasn't just determined, he was actually insane! Tanya scrambled to her feet, pulling scattering bystanders into the line of fire as ahe ducked low and ran for dear life. Okay, so this bounty hunter could see in the dark, no big deal. This just meant that Tanya had to move. [u]Fast.[/u]

Tanya ducked low and pressed her hand to her chest, the Feather of Innocence sprouting behind her. As the ranger had proven earlier, he was willing and able to shoot through the crowd. At this point, Tanya was desperately weaving through and between other fleeing citizens, trying to keep the heat off by keeping as many between her and the bow as possible. All she needed to do was get to the end of the alley. There was a fire escape to the right that could serve as the first steps of an escape.

Sbe wasn't gonna make it. That is, not without taking the chance on another two or three arrows with her name on it-- pretty good odds between professionals really. There wasn't much hope for jumping up between the walls if the hunter could lead his targets, so she did what anybody else would do and snagged a little beggar passing by! She wrinkled her nose at the street urchin as the kid struggled and bit, its long, matted hair making it impossible to tell its sex. In any case, Tanya's wrapped her arm around its neck and pressed her Quill meaningfully against the small of its back, dragging it back. This way, most of Tanya's vitals were covered as she peeked over the kid's shoulder. It wasn't a sure thing, but her chances getting to the end of the alleyway were a lot better, especially with the boost of speed her Feather would provide. She prayed to the gods it'd be enough.
