They had been strolling along upon the dusted path for about two hours now. Brienne was thirsty and hungry, though that didn't matter right now. If she slept or went off wandering through the trees looking for firewood then the Kingslayer would have a chance to escape- although that chance was minimal she didn't want to take that risk. Before she knew it three men in chainmail came stumbling out from the clearing ahead. One pointed at them, they both stayed silent.
"Ay there, hold up. Who have you got there? What are you doing?"
Brienne and Jaime slyly glanced at each other before Brienne spoke, "Just taking a prisoner back where he belongs. Mind us now, let us be on our way."
The three men started laughing; it was more of a drunken laugh then anything. "You sound like a whore, but nah you definitely don't look like one. You're more of a man then a woman. Tell me do you actually have anything we'd enjoy under that armour?" They turned to one another, rumbling with laughter again. Brienne shrugged the sexual insult off and took that as a sign that they could continue on their way. The pair started brisk walking past the men when they were pulled to a halt again. "Hey! I don't remember telling you that you two could leave?" The bearded knight stared closely at Jaime, "Wait, is that Jaime Lannister?"
As soon as the last word was out the man who was doing all of the talking, a sword had been thrust in the stomach using Brienne's sliver blade. The other two came stalking towards her, just as the Kingslayer had perched himself upon a round boulder. With a CLANG the two blades smashed together, the noise echoing throughout the area. Brienne ducked and swung the sword into the second man's knees, causing him to cry out in pain and crouch upon the dirt. She then spun round, barely evading another sword. Then she put all of her strength into the blade and caught the still standing man through his abdomen, the sharp blade pushing some of his intestines out on the other side. Behind her the lone man slowly brought himself to his feet, but was in so much pain from her last blow that she only had to shove him and he went face first in the ground again. Brienne lifted her long sword up her, sweat showing on her forehead and heaved it down fast. The only noise afterwards was the sound of the knight's parted head rolling around in the gravel. Jaime Lannister was still sat there at this point gobsmacked by what had just occurred. How could a woman that small be so strong and defeat 3 grown men alone?
Brienne went and gather the rope attached to the Lannister again, with a small push in the direction of the forest, he had to start walking. "Get moving, clearly the road isn't safe, so although it may be longer we have to go through the forest instead."
