He brought a have to his chest at the words of gratitude. "Oh, I do
appreciate it, but how could I not? Dear thing, I couldn't imagine it." She
was going to be one of them. There really was no other way this could end.
It wasn't long before he heard something, saw a hint of movement up ahead,
and dropped into a crouch.
It took a moment to find it again behind the bracken and underbrush. A
deer. It saw their movement as well, and froze.
A mistake on its part. A crossbow bolt hit the creature so hard, the point
pierces through to the other side. It fell to the ground, not dead, but
that might not last. There were more noises now, rough voices calling from
out of sight.
He glanced over to Ayatan, silently gesturing his intent--circle
around, remaining in cover. She might be able to turn herself
invisible, but he was not so blessed. He needed to get in closer, moving
with practiced stealth.
Not that it would change the outcome of this, either, it would simply be
more tidy. Godrick's fools didn't stand a chance.
