Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Denali (Feb 12, 2005 06:01 p.m.):[/b] She jingled the few coins left in the little pouch that Saul had given her, and stared at his back as he rode a few paces in front of her. There were soldiers surrounding them, and she wanted to talk to him about this journey, but did not want to be overheard and could hardly think of what to say. He was angry, and she was quiet, and the Brindian commander rode beside them and did not say anything, either. They were paid prisoners on this adventure, and it did not take any great means of observation to know that Saul hated the commander, and hated the restraint. Having been a captive before, and an unpaid one, Malorik did not mind so much. There was more freedom now, and she had her blades, and that was enough to suit her for now. When they reached Lahkis she could decide for herself what she should do, if she should continue to help the Brindians or take the box and her contract fee, as she'd planned all along, but it was her choice. Everything now was her choice, and it was a slightly frightening thought. When dawn broke and the sky was nearly light, they stopped and made camp to the side of the Desert Road. Saul had brought his own supplies, but everything, along with her horse, had been provided to her. The commander motioned for them to stay near the center of camp, and Mal glanced at Saul before digging through her packs and finding her own tent. She did not feel in danger, sleeping by herself, but she was nonetheless relieved when he set his tent beside hers, if only because he was the only person here who was not a stranger. The soldiers set about making camp and the morning meal, and Mal sat outside her tent and watched them move about. They were much more organized than the caravan had been, and far more than the mercenaries, and that was reassuring and troublesome at once. They would be harder to escape from, if that was the decision she chose to make, but there were weeks until they reached Lahkis, and she did not have to worry about that now. For now, Saul was climbing out of his tent and moving to stand beside her, and Mal glanced up at him. "This will not be so bad, Saul."[/quote]
