[color=#EBF5FB]Rue listened to the two men while she unpacked her belongings. It wasn’t much, but it was important to her. She slid the knives into her boot carefully, then took out a few rations. She found a small cloth in the adjacent bathroom and set her rations on it for Moony to eat from. She then examined the room to make sure it was safe and secure for them. After all, traveling here only to get mugged or worse would be disastrous. As she cleaned and tidied up the room, she vaguely heard the two men discussing something. Rue watched Moonlight finish the rations and turned to face them. As she did so, she noticed a trio of girls; two female light elves and a demi-feline. For a moment she became distracted and watched curiously. Then, her attention snapped back to the two.

Their words replayed in her mind and she frowned at them. It clicked and her eyes widened. Arn was the prince of Ironhold and hadn’t known until after the murders. Bowyn was mistrustful and cold, and Rue found herself becoming uncertain. She felt Arn staring at her, hoping for an ally, but Rue remained lost in thought. Bowyn’s and Arn’s fears were both valid concerns. He was the prince and was worried about finding out and needed to see Annya but wasn't sure what he'd do; and he had not been up front about his status. Still, as a result of the murders, Rue couldn’t blame him. Furthermore, Bowyn was worried they’d be used and discarded when they burned out. Arn didn’t seem hostile, and nor did he seem hostile. His words and earnest tone didn’t betray any deceit. Rue found herself taken aback by the bitterness and coldness of her fairy companion. He was more different than she had anticipated. She sighed as the silence intensified and Arn was starting to leave. The stress made her tear up and she found herself wanting them to return to the moment they were getting along.

[color=lightskyblue]”Can we stop whatever tension it is we have?”[/color] She asked quietly as she looked up with a frown. [color=lightskyblue]”We all have reasons to be distrustful. Arn’s head is on the line if people find out who and what he is, and us fairies - winter fairies to be exact - have a history of being used and abused for our powers. I… I don’t see any use of us splitting up and I don’t want to either.”[/color] She glanced in Arn’s direction, unable to look him in the eye as a result of overbearing shyness. [color=lightskyblue]”You're a medic, so you’d be on the battlefield helping in the fighting. Right? I don't see you being the kind to betray and use us."[/color] Rue’s voice was quiet as she waited - no, [i]hoped[/i] for an earnest answer. She then glanced at Bowyn and added, [color=lightskyblue]”I think we should all cool down and find something to eat. Maybe the fresh air and a good meal can help us.”[/color] She swung her legs over the bed side and began to compulsively eat her remaining rations. [/color]
