That same lightning shock coursed through her when his lips met hers. She looked up and blinked as the spots faded and her vision returned to normal. "Umm..." She looked back at the inn. "Lets... go to the docks. No wait! - stupid - they own ships - the uh, the stables! We'll get some horses. Let's go. The other two are most likely back at the ship."

"Ahh, good idea! Let's go!" Ryoty and I headed to the stables, constantly checking out backs to make sure the happy, big brother wasn't follwing us.
The rain started to lighted up as we apprached our destination. An old man in a large, straw hat was out front widdling something out of wood. I just stared at him for a moment, trying to figure out what it was he was making...
"Always keep your mind occupied, words to live by, my young friends..." He stood up and handed me a little wooden dog...
"So, what can I do you fer?" He asked happily, pulling up his slakcing pants...
"We need to buy a couple of horses." I told him hastily...
"Hmm..." He inspected Ryoty and me... "You two look like promising young people. I'll tell you what, two horses for two hundred gold. Deal?"
I turend to Ryoty to see if she had any money... It turns out I was robbed in my little scrape with the happy, big brother...

Ryoty reached for her purse... and found she'd left it back in her room! She groaned in despair. "Noooh... we'll walk. We can walk!" She took his hand and pulled him down the road. "I mean, how far is the next city? It can't be far, it certainly didn't take that long a boat ride to get here," she faced forward and marched on determinedly, pulling Yun along through the mud and rain.

"Actually..." I started, trying to catch my breath while being pulled hastily... "The next city will take us about a mothy to get too! We need to stock up on food, and weapons and-" A huge gust of win took away the rest of my breath...

"Nonsense! Nonsense, we could - we could forage for food. I'm farely sure I can figure out how to catch a fish in the river and skin it and uh, cook it and that which I don't know, you can show me because I'm sure you know how to survive in the wilderness right?" She looked back at him hopefully, not stopping or even slowing her pace.

I pulled her back to a stop... "Ryoty! What is wrong with you? Why do we need to get away so fast?" I was almost yelling it now...

She whipped around to face him, wincing as he practically yelled in her face and trying hard not to look him in the eye. "Because! Because..." she searched frantically for something - anything! - to say. "Because, they're my brothers . . . and they'll take me back to . . ." She swallowed, afraid to say it.

I heard gunshots from behind us. I took Ryoty's hand, she'd have to finish later. We ran as fast as we could until we came to a little cave in the rocks...
"We should hide here, at least until we can figure out what to do..."

Conner pulled back the pistol and lifted his head. Damn, he missed! He - just got smacked in the back of the head by two very strong hands! "Gah! What the heck you guys?" "We could say the same for you idiot!" Drake yelled. "You could have hit Ryoty!" Brennan explained, albeit in a loud and angry voice. Conner open his mouth to reply, but thought better of it and shut his mouth with a simple yet dignified, "Oh." Drake lowered his telescope and popped it shut with his palm. "Damn! Lost sight of them."

Later that night, after finding an empty, little cottage between towns, I asked Ryoty was going on...
"So Ryoty, what were you going to say earlier?"

In the rush of getting away and finding a place to stay for the night, Ryoty had completely forgotten about it. But now that he asked, it all came rushing back. That didn't mean she had to acknowledge it though. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said innocently, carefully avoiding his eyes as she padded down the straw mattress.

"I'm not a fool, Ryoty," Yun persisted, "and you know it! What do they want you for? Do they know where to look for you?" I lifted her eyes to mine so she had no choice but to stare in my eyes...

Ryoty couldn't stand staring into his cool eyes. She turned away as best she could. "I... I... They're my brothers and... they want to take me back to get married!" she cried.

I was taken aback by this. I just stared at her, my mouth agape...
"Well..who...why...who is it you're getting married to? Why'd you run away?"

Ryoty was openly sobbing now. She pulled his hands away and buried her face in her hands. "I don't want to get married to him! He's this big... dumb... doofus!"
