The situation became less ideal when Mister Luum announced his pick for the group. Her gaze remained glued to him. Taking both Bardulkf [i]and[/i] Zeva caused her stomach to churn. It was not worth the argument, so she remained quiet. There was a silver lining; she remained with Bowyn, and they had an opportunity now to pick Brigette’s mind. The girl struck Rue as odd; her demeanor was sweet and kind, however something felt off. Rue could not place it, but she decided it was best to speak privately to Bowyn. 

Her gaze moved to the cafe Zeva pointed out. There was no way Starfire would be able to come. She felt as though she’d been dunked in ice cold water; what if someone recognized the runaway pegasus? What if someone took her away? Rue knew their time was borrowed, yet the idea haunted her every day. Her wings fluttered quietly and Starfire turned to face her. 

[color=lightgreen]”Rue?”[/color] Star inquired. She came over and rested her head on Rue’s shoulder comfortingly. Their gazes met as Rue rested her head on her’s and patted her neck.

[color=#6082B6]”We’re going to eat in the cafe. Please… Please stay hidden in the woods. I’ll whistle for you when we’re finished. Just… Hide yourself. Okay?”[/color] 

Star huffed and glanced over at the woods. [color=lightgreen]”Whatever. Just bring me back something good. And don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless.”[/color] 

Rue smiled and moved away from Star after giving her a quick kiss on the forehead. [color=#6082B6]”Good girl. And if anything happens, if you get approached by anyone, I give you permission to kick their hineys.”[/color]

Star whinnied with amusement and took off back to the woods to hide. With her now safely away, Rue turned to Bowyn now and listened carefully. She sighed in relief at his agreement to not separate. The fact they were both wanted and were in one of the most dangerous cities had her on edge. His voice however, was enough to help soothe her. [color=#6082B6]”I agree, and I think we should both get disguise rings too. Just to be on the safe side….”[/color] She trailed off as he continued speaking and gulped. 

What if something happened to the trio without them? Would Bardulf contain himself or give himself away with his power? Would Zeva chicken out? Rue took steady breaths to calm herself. They would be fine. It would work out. Everyone would be safe… Then, the seriousness of the situation reminded her what was occurring. She faced Bardulf and nodded in agreement to what Bowyn said. Rue would protect the human, no matter what, although she blanched at the idea of unnecessary violence. However, the human’s life was important, and Rue would not let him down, nor Bowyn and Starfire as well. 

She was lost in thought briefly, until the mention of honey toast broke her reverie. Her eyes widened with anticipation as she eyed the cafe hungrily. [color=#6082B6][i]Honey Toast! I haven’t had any in so long!![/i][/color] A brief smile cut through her tension as her expression lit up. Rue grinned up at Bowyn with an ear-to-ear grin. His conversation with Raze caused laughter to bubble from her.

[color=#6082B6]"A klepto indeed. What a pair you both are,"[/color] Rue replied as she watched with amusement. [color=#6082B6]"Hopefully he can withhold his.. [i]desires[/i] while we're in the city."[/color] She reached over to pet the stoat gently and smiled sweetly at Bowyn. [/color]
