There are a lot of things that Kathryn can be annoyed about. The easy ones to note would be dealing with her fears of water. It's gotten to the point where if she steps into water deeper then a couple inches with out expecting it she would do a small freak out. "[color=007236]Son of a Mother of Gods![/color]" She screamed as she slipped down the slight slop letting one of her feet fall into the river next to her. She was able to recover fast enough, but not before grabbing a rock and pelting it as hard as she could into the peaceful river. She stopped for a moment to take a breath. "That'll show you." She said to no one in particular. She wasn't a fan of a lot of things, but water in amounts larger then a couple gallons really threw her off. She hated the idea of being scared of something so simple, she figured her main issues was she had bad experiences trying to learn to swim.

That didn't matter now though, she was more or less back on the dark trail in the middle of the night looking for a good spot to keep watch. She found a spot not too far from the trail's intersection with another trail, or maybe a road of some kind? She couldn't tell from here in the dark, but it didn't matter. It was an intersection non the less.

She sat in the deep brush for a few hours. Every once and a while someone would walk by the intersection, but no one of note. There did seem like an odd amount of activity for this early in the morning, maybe there was a market day going on int he morning and everyone wanted an early start. Or they were more refugees looking for a place to sleep longer then an hour or so. She wished them luck though, if that was the case good luck finding anywhere with in miles of here that would provide that.

She had her sword drawn resting by her side as she laid down, she may need a moment to stand up to use it but otherwise it was ready. Worst case scenario she would have to use her knife first to stun her enemy long enough to kick their ass. Though, at some point during the night she her steps, coming from her blind spot. Maybe it was Alberich? She couldn't think of much else coming from that direction. The problem is if it wasn't she had a choice to make, stay still and hope whoever it was would pass by, or turn and almost guarantee a fight that in her current situation she would struggle to win.

She turned onto her back with her knife drawn when the steps were closer, whoever they were they were close enough that they must have known she was there. She was ready to throw her knife right into their nice square mustached fa- "[color=007236]Alberich? I could have killed you![/color]" She whispered in a more or less pissed tone. Her and Alberich had teamed up a while back attempting to hurt the Dark lord's armies, figuring that two decently skilled warriors would work a lot better then two individuals spread out unorganized. She was still a bit pissed that he had tried to sneak up to her, she would have felt really bad if she had to have pulled out her old knife from his face. Especially if he had survived that, the knife rarely came out nicely despite it's smooth blade.

He did bring some food though, food was something that was a pain int he ass to find. Especially safe to eat food. "[color=007236]First off I did not stumble, I just felt like kicking some asses of...[/color]" She had to think about it for a moment, not a lot you can fight in a river. "[color=007236]Fish. It was fish.[/color]" Best save ever. "[color=007236]Thanks for breakfast, and no. Not much going on. A lot of civilian travel though, I am starting to worry they might be refugees trying to avoid the front lines. Or worse, a raiding party spread out to hide their numbers. That is what I would do if I wanted to hide a small army.[/color]" It wasn't a bad idea, but the force can't be larger then maybe 80 or so to do it like that. Maybe a couple hundred if time wasn't a concern. But she hasn't seen a bandit army that large in a while, and they didn't seem like orcs from here. She was going to stick with the civilian idea for now, and hope that she is right. 

She sat up to talk quietly to Alberich a bit more. "[color=007236]There's going to be a big right soon, I hope you're ready. Because realistically both of us may not make it out. The way we are going we may die trying to get to a finishing point, or if we do get to a finishing point, we may not be able to see the new world when the light starts to show again.[/color]" She said in a awkward tone. She rarely tried to look down on situations, but she knew in her heart that a final battle was going to come sooner or later, and almost never did everyone form one side make it out. Especially at their odds.
