Rhana eased the horses as they were gathered outside the great gate. She noticed the way Gormel looked at her and sent him a withering look. Just go ahead and try, you creep, she thought and placed her hand on her knife, letting him know she wasn't afraid to use it.
He just grinned at her or at least so it seemed. She wasn't sure whether the grimace on his ugly face could be considered close to a smile or not.

One of the men grabbed the woman, Sadiya, by the arm and dragged her away with him. He seemed to be upset about something. Rhana couldn't hide a smirk. How could anyone be so foolish as to bring a child with them, on a possibly dangerous mission such as this? This was no place for an infant.

The familiar sound of a flask being opened, reached her ears and she turned to see one of the men drinking greedily. A hint of a smile appeared on her face and she quickly stepped next to him and snapped the flask from him and drank, feeling the brew spread it's warmth through her blood. She ducked swiftly as the tall man tried to slap her and she laughed at him mockingly as she returned the flask to him.
Gormel made sign for them to be quiet and get ready to leave. They had to be far away before daybreak, since it wouldn't be long before someone would discover what had happened.

Once on the move, Rhana slipped closely to Sadiya. "You better make sure to keep that thing quiet!" She nodded toward the child. "Otherwise, I'll do it!" she said while fingering her knife, making sure the woman understood what she meant.
