'Or we could not', Valesseka thought, embracing her cowardice. Fearing the worst she kept near Eomerleo's side, on high alert for any movement from the sides of the small building. Whoever it was could have heard them and planned an ambush to better fit the theme of the day.
"Lets just be careful..." She added timidly, climbing off of Bruinn's back to join the Gondorian on the ground. The black birds flew away through the black smoke with loud cries as the pair approached the house on foot.
Wincing she looks back to her brave protector who laughed lightheartedly, "It's just birds."
They had reached the door finally, and with a deep breath on Valesseka's part, the pair knocked and waited for an answer from within.
