Elaine:
Daine walked back to her room in despair. What would happen if Numair did get back before she did? Her husband would come right to her rescue and blow when he finds out what she's undercover as. She could remember him mumbling about how unrespectable bar wrenches are. He always did this when they stopped at an inn with a bar. Then he would groan every time one would flirt with him. He really hated it.
Numair would kill Jon for letting her do this. Then he would never let her go any where on her own. Then he would flip when he found out that one of Ozorne's followers was trying to get her in bed with him. It was going to be a long night.
Daine walked into her rooms and saw her roommate standing there. She looked proud of herself. Like she had just found secrets that no one else knew. Daine got a little skeptical. What if it was her secret she knew. No, she would never do that to me. We're friends, Daine thought.
'Why are you so happy?' Daine asked the girl.
'I found out a secret.' Elaine replied.
'About what?' Diane asked sitting on her bed.
'You.' She said.
Daine's head snapped up. No, she thought, she couldn't. Maybe she only head that I'm not sleeping with Rauol. She would only listen so far into a conversation.
'What about me?' Daine asked gently.
'You don't sleep with that man,' she said, 'and you work for the king.'
'Elaine, stop there are things you don't understand.' Daine began.
'You're trying to get Lord Winery arrested. You're a trader and I'm turning you in.'
Elaine walked out of the room. Daine knew she was in trouble. She had to tell Rauol. But she needed to escape too. If she got caught Numair would not be happy. Then he would defiantly be hard to live with.
Daine ran up to Raoul's room. She banged on the door. Please still be awake, she thought, please. Rauol opened the door; he was asleep.
'We have to leave now.' Daine said running into the room.
'Why is Numair home?' Rauol asked running into the privy to change.
'No, worse.'
'What could be worse than your husband getting mad?' he asked. He had come out with just breeches on.
'My roommate Elaine just went to tell Lord Winery that we're here.'
'Well that is defiantly worse.' Rauol said.
Daine rolled her eyes. She grabbed his pack and threw it at him. They ran down the stairs and by Daine's room. The young women grabbed her stuff. She called to cloud with her magic. Cloud, get ready we're leaving. She felt the horse nod; the poor thing was asleep and was about to get a wake up call.
The two friends ran out the back door and ran to the stable's back door. Daine was surprised that she was faster than the knight. Diane threw open the door to the stable. She grabbed both Cloud's and Tree's saddle. She saddled them as quickly as she could. It only took her about two minutes per horse. She couldn't tell if that was her magic, fright, or the fact that she had done this thousands of time with Numair.
Daine led Tree out to Rauol who was awake now. He climbed on to Tree and Daine jumped on an already trotting Cloud. She heard Rauol mumble something that sounded like show off.
'How many times have you and Numair done this?' the knight asked.
'Don't know,' Daine replied, 'I lost count about three years ago.'
The knight whistled. Cloud broke into a cantor the moment they got into the woods. Daine knew what they had to do. They had to do the unexpected with out getting caught.
'We have to go down behind Lord Winery's castle.' She said.
'That was what I was just thinking.' The knight replied. 'He's to much of an idiot to see it coming.'
Daine laughed. They could hear people they were getting close to the Lord. Daine heard talking and slowed Cloud down into a walk to hear what they were planning.
