Ashryn was obviously quite displeased about the idea of offering her horse up to the town. She would sooner send the creature off where no one could find him than offer him up. However, she knew better than to protest much longer. After all, she didn't want to ruin her chance at getting close to him because of a silly horse. Even if she did greatly care about the creature. "Fine, do what you want." She moved over to him, placing a hand on her hip as she eyed him for a moment. She could tell that he was uncomfortable with her presence and for a second, she questioned her actions. What if he had thought she was annoying while he had to guard her? What if she was doing this all for nothing? She frowned slightly, not liking that but knew that it could be possible. After all, he had tried hard to get rid of her. Did he detest her?<br/><br/>"Then I will do my best not to squander this chance." She followed after him, not wanting to lose him in the forest. After all, she felt safer with him at her side. She knew from the past that he was capable of protecting her. It had been his job at one point, after all. Still, she didn't want to be a burden. She was not without weapons and she knew how to use them. Yes, she would probably lose in a fight against him, but she could still defend herself. Plus, she had daggers hidden on her person. She was quiet for a while, keeping up with him despite the aching in her feet. She was too stubborn to complain and give him a reason to ditch her. Still, she couldn't help but wonder about something.<br/><br/>"Cromwell, do you really think I am a simple girl?" She asked hesitantly, knowing that he wasn't too keen on expressing his opinions about feelings and such. Still, she couldn't help but ask. His earlier comment was obviously bothering her, it seemed. She glanced at him, brushing some brown hair from her face as she kept up with him as best as she could. "I know I'm naive and foolish, but I'd like to say that I've changed while you were gone."
