Azoni shook her head, waving off Ash's concern with a plastered on smile. "No! I'm all good. It's shallow as hell and it'll stop bleeding soon anyways. Anyways, wanna see if they had anything valuable? I think it's kind of a waste if we don't at least check." She kicked one of the bodies, flipping him over onto his back so she could see if he had any pockets or pouches.
"okay" ashley says still a little flustered from the fight."yeah actually we should check them it and should we just leave them here or tie them up and leave them here?" she asks not sure which would be better but now that,that was over she just wanted to get out of here and hide in a hole with her wolf and books and never come out.
"Tie them up! We can't just leave them out here to attack whoever comes along next!" Azoni clicked her tongue, summoning her horse over so she could rifle through its saddlebags. Unfortunately, she didn't manage to find any rope. "Do you have any rope or anything? I'm fresh out."
(I just realized some of my summer is kinda packed, so i wanted to tell you that i'm going to be off for two weeks starting the 16th and ending the 28th, and then I have a family vacation from the 29th to July 14th so replies'll be limited. after that i'm pretty much home free)
(don't worry i am backed also i have so many things going on i can't even remember them all.)
(Okay, cool. Just wanted you to be aware about why i'm going to go silent for like 2 weeks.)
"i do in fact but do not use all of it, we might need it." ashley says with a full smile which she hasn't given in far to long. she looks through her stuff then realizes that instead of wasting hers why don't they go through the men's stuff and see if they had any."wait did you check the men they might actually have some so we can save ours." she looks over at the men on the ground, wondering how long they have been out here. "when we get to town we are going to need to buy more things but i really want a shower." looking down at herself she really needed it to.
Azoni grinned back at Ash. "Quick thinking!" She searched a couple of the men before she found a bunch of rope in a coil on one's waist. She quickly set to work, tying the bandits together by the wrists after she had worked her way through the pockets of each one. They didn't have much, but one had been carrying a pouch full of gold, and another had a wicked looking dagger. She tossed the gold into her saddlebag without much thought and walked the knife over to Ash. "What do you think of this? It looks pretty high quality. Almost too good for half rate bandits like these"
ashley grinned back."thank you i get t form my father." ashley searched the other men coming up with a long dagger some silver, trash and some gum. she put the silver in her saddle bag left the trash by the men and put some gum in her mouth while looking at the dagger she found when Az came up to her."it's cool also it is high quality as you said. look at the one i found." she lifts up the one she got showing it to Az making sure she wouldn't drop or cut herself with it she handed the blade over. she looked up at the sky it was going to get dark soon,"we should get going and set up camp a little further from here it's getting dark."
Az nodded distractedly, turning the dagger over in her hands a few times. They seemed kind of familiar, though she couldn't think of where she would've seen them before. She shrugged it off, tossing her old dagger away and replacing it with the one Ash had found. She looked up and realized that the sun was setting. Quickly, she remounted her horse, waiting for Ash to do the same. "Your right. I say we ride until the sun goes down and then make camp in the first clearing we see."
"that sounds good" ash mounts her horse make sure that her wolf is with them then heads out at a steady but fast pace not wanting to be to close to the castle that the guards could easily get to her if her mother found out that she was gone which she probably has by now. "so how was your day?" she asks trying to make conversation but it's not going so well. she looks to make sure that Az is still with her along with checking her surroundings.
Az shrugged. "Pretty so-so. I had to deal with the whole arranged marriage proposal thing, which was tough, but I also met you. So, overall today wasn't a total loss." She grinned shyly at Ash, a light blush painting her cheeks. There was something really refreshing about Ash. Something real and raw that made Azoni want to gallop off into the wilds with her and never look back.
ashley blushed at the words."yeah i guess it wasn't a total loss."she wouldn't be saying that if she knew who she was would she?
(sorry it is short got to go to bed good night)
(me too! goodnight)
Azoni smiled, eyes lighting up when she came across the perfect place to set up camp for the night. She quickly urged her horse into the clearing, making sure Ash was following her before she dismounted. "How about we stop here for the night?"
(morning i think)(this is all i can think of sorry :(
"yeah this seems like a good place. she says looking around seeing were she could sleep and were they could set up a fire.
(good afternoon! And np, we all get writer's block sometimes.)
Azoni tied her horse to a nearby tree, grabbing a bedroll from its saddlebags and finding a soft looking square of glass to set it down on. Then she started gathering wood from the nerby woods, getting a big enough stack going that they could keep a fire burning all night. "Do you have any tinder? Or flint and steel? We need to get a fire going."
(true)
ashley pulled her horse to the tree were Az's was and tide her up. "i do actually i bought some before this trip. there in my pack can you grab it?" she looks around still trying to find somewhere to sit or set the fire up at."oh and be careful because there are some other things in there." ashley grabs her bed roll and sets up under a tree. her wolf comes up and lays down ashley lays her head on him.
Azoni grabbed the flint and steel, using it to light the fire with ease. She put it back, careful not to rifle around in Ash's bag or uncover her stuff. Then she pulled her bedroll next to Ash's and sat on it criss-cross, watching as she cuddled with her wolf. "Where'd you find him?" she asked, tentatively putting her hand in front of its snout to see if it would bite her.
as Az came over ashley rolled into a siting position."i found on one of my runaways he was in the forest and his mother was dead next to him. so i took him in and rased him myself my mother didn't know about it until two years ago." she watched as Az put her hand to his snout. he sniffed her hand and rubbed it letting her pet him.
Azoni felt her face light up and she began to pet the wolf's head, marveling at how soft and thick the fur was. "He's so sweet!" she squealed, plopping a kiss down onto his head. "I've never had a pet before! What's his name?"
she laughed at how the other marveled at the wolf." yes he is because i taught him to be he was a wild thing before i tamed him but still has a wild side." she looks up into the night sky"i haven't given him a name but i have been thinking about it. would you like to help?" she looks back down at the girl next to her.
Azoni felt her eyes light up as she wrapped her arms around the wolf's neck and nuzzled into the side of his head. "I'd love to! I think… Lavon. It means 'noble beast'. Or maybe… Ellis? Or Glenn?"
"those are all good names but i want something that makes him… never mind" Ashley looks away sheepishly. she didn't want to talk about what his name should be because she never actually gave him a name."i am sorry it just that i don't know the wording to say it out loud."
"It's fine. I mean, you could always just call him Wolf," Azoni joked, petting his head with a grin. A cold wind blew through and she shivered, watching as the fire crackled and flickered. She moved a little closer to Ash, unconsciously seeking out some extra body heat. "I mean, it's really up to you. He's your pet, not mine."
"yeah i could but i think i have the perfect name for him." ashley looks back at the other wanting to hug her for understanding but that would be weird wouldn't it? "i did ask for help though." she saw that the other scooted closer making her scoot closer too, just the slightest bit.
