After they had finished eat they all curled up to go to sleep Malorie and Min-ri both using Renet as a pillow and Nagual curled up in Malorie's lap. When Min-ri woke in the morning the snow had stopped and the ground was covered in sparkling white powder she turned and nudged Malorie awake "we should keep going the Greencloaks might catch up." she stiffled a laugh as Malorie sat up groggily with the mother of all bedheads. Min-ri stood up and fixed her hair as it had fallen out of its ponytail in the night she just quickly tied it in a low ponytail by the time she was done Malorie was standing beside her bedhead as fixed and nagual as a mark on the back of her hand. They hen walked out of the cave to continue their journey.
~~~~~~time skip midday~~~~~~
they were almost through the mountains they could see then beginning of a city on the horizon. A few hours earlier Renet had vanished into a mark on Min-ri's shoulder again. As they reached the entrance of the city Malorie stopped "we need food water and probably new clothes, but do we have the money to do this?" Min-ri checked her purse containing both their life savings "we should, but lets try to keep the clothes and food on the cheep side ok?" "agreed" Malorie said and they continued on into the city after they had bought enough water for a few days for both them and their spirit animals they regretted doing the food and water first because they were heavy as would need to Renet eat a lot. They loaded it all in Min-ri's backpack as best they could most of the water ended up hanging in a pouch off the side of the backpack they made their way to the clothes stalls. After looking around and bartering over the prices with several merchants they got all that they had came to get Malorie ended up with a long sleeved pink V neck shirt a short black skirt and some black stockings also a pink hairband the merchant gave that to her for free. and Min-ri ended up with a long sleeved gray V neck shirt and some black pants she also kept her white scarf and just wrapped it around her neck. They then decided to try and find an inn for the night. as they walked towards one they observed the crowd a bit watching for greencloaks. they noticed two individuals who seemed to be following them. one was a guy with sleak black hair the other was a guy with spikyish red hair niether had visible spirit animals. their outfits were obviusly suited for traveling with the black haired boy having brown pants boots and a blue shirt with a satchel and the red spiky haired guy having a brown long sleeved shirt and black pants. Malorie and Min-ri walked a little quicker and the pair following copied. Min-ri said to Malorie "we should keep going out of town for now we don't need to cause a scene" she said putting one hand on her shoulder where Rennet's mark was burning Malorie nodded and they broke into a run veering off their path to the inn to get out of the city darting through the crowd the pair behind them started running too. Min-ri grimaced and grabbed Malorie's hand and ran faster she was faster than Malorie so she didn't want to lose her in the crowd they neared the exit Min-ri glanced back they were still following will we outrun them or will they catch us she thought as they passed through the exit.
