<span style="font-weight: bold">"Eyes on the forest, not on each other."</span><br/><br/>The groan which came from Holtâ€™s mouth at her words sealed the smile upon her face and perhaps amused her far more than what was healthy. She did the slow motion turn of the neck back towards Quinn and just as a witty retort was about to escape from her lips she was interrupted by the voice of her ward and visibly winced. She then sighed softly at the ruined plant with a remorseful gaze and eyed Til with a scrutinizing gaze. She worked to soften her expression.<br/><br/>â€œYou are supposed to be in the city, in bed, sleepingâ€¦â€ she sighed quietly, knowing that regardless of what she said Til was going to follow her especially when the option of death was almost inevitable for most of the party.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I had thought you more skilled than to have need of hired hand, my lady."</span><br/><br/>â€œSheâ€™s not hired help, sheâ€™s my tenant,â€ she spoke quietly in an attempt to be out of Tilâ€™s earshot. â€œHer father was ripped to shreds by a wolf in the middle of his own home; albeit he was not the ideal father figureâ€¦â€  She gave that little ghost of a sigh once more and carried on about her journey after giving Til the â€˜behaveâ€™ look. It was unclear of whether she cared about Til or she just put up about Til; but she didnâ€™t seem to bend one way or the other on her company.<br/><br/>When Miraâ€™s comment about the big brave knights being scared came to the forefront Eva couldnâ€™t help but suppress a good-natured chuckle at the idea, and Miraâ€™s influence upon Eva was clear as she turned to the nearest knight; of course, the pretty one, and reassured him with the most tender of tones.<br/><br/>â€œOh you donâ€™t have to admit it,â€ oh the teasing was so prominent in her voice one would have to be dead to miss it. Then in a lower, far softer voice, â€œIf you get truly frightened you can hold my hand.â€ Some may have missed that small little grin that slipped its way over her lips. Just at that moment she could almost hear Holtâ€™s grumble forming in his throat and Deidrichâ€™s neck start to turn with a shake of his head. This thoroughly amused the apothecary to no end, and would only serve to encourage her.<br/><br/>She pulled her green eyes off of Quinn momentarily to observe the surroundings and her smile quickly morphed into a pout. She slipped ahead; crossing her path directly in front of his; although it didnâ€™t seem it was on purpose (and for that reason most undoubtedly was). â€œWe have to veer a bit to the west at this point,â€ she remarked motioning to a few miniscule marks about the trees and rocks. She looked from east to west at the options, west of course being small chance of death, and east being large certainty of death.<br/><br/>â€œThe woods arenâ€™t necessarily that dangerous until you get in a bit deeper where you canâ€™t take the hint that territory has been established. If you cross one of their boundaries because you failed to notice the signs then your life is pretty much forfeitâ€¦unless of course you can run faster than they can catch you. Which, I canâ€™t, so please pay attention to where I go because I have no intention of drawing any unneeded attention to us.â€ She paused for a moment. â€œThere comes a point where it becomes undefined, so enjoy the certainty while you are ableâ€¦â€  She peered over her shoulder.
