Bowyn nodded as Arn answered his questions with a lot of words that really didn’t help him understand what the dwarf was up to. Arn needed to meet with a princess, the rest of the dwarven army was not coming, and he wasn’t going to say why this meeting was important. Or maybe it wasn’t an important reason, maybe the dwarf fancied the elven princess. Bowyn chuckled to himself at that thought; if that was the case he doubted Arn had ever met an elf. Light elves were insufferable enough he could only imagine what their royals were like. 

[color=1BEFF2]“You say a lot of words, Arn, some of them even make sense. Whatever you're up to, if it involves killin’ dark elves, I’m in.”[/color] Bowyn wasn’t interested in pulling secrets out of the dwarf, they seemed to be on the same side of a war and that was enough for now. Arn from the army who paid for drinks and never looked at Bowyn like was a broken thing. Bowyn decided that Arn was alright for talking to even if he was full of secrets. 

Outside the tavern, everything was lit up by the harsh light of the sun. He could see the Helius’s from where they were, they looked like big overcrowded cages. Like death traps that could fall right out of the sky at any moment and he had no wings and only a backpack which wasn’t much use when falling. Bowyn said nothing about the unnatural flying death traps, he was not a coward and it wasn’t like he had any other real option. If he was alone he could go back to the forests, where there was space as far as you could see and freedom in all that space. But he was not alone and Arn seemed like he needed to get where he was going in a hurry. And forests were dangerous, and there was Rue. Rue would be alright if the Helius crashed, and that seemed like a good enough reason. 

So Bowyn kept walking outside and paused to scratch Moony by the ears to say hello to the wolf. [color=1BEFF2]"Hey Moony, learn how to speak yet?"[/color] He teased the wolf, although if the animal did have a reply Bowyn couldn’t hear it. Hunting for food was a big part of surviving in the north and talking to animals seemed like an unnecessary complication. He gave the wolf a small smile before continuing to follow Arn. He turned to Rue, planning to ask if she had ever been in Helius before. Except that wasn’t what he asked, instead he blurted out the question he actually wanted to know. [color=1BEFF2]"Why did you leave the village?”[/color]
