<span style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 116%;">Daewyn struggled with Indrean but didn't put all she had into it when she saw the Gondorian soldiers. The one who had gotten covered with her breakfast was a young recruit of her father's when she was 18. He had an eye for her then, and she was sure he recognised her even in the brief encounter. Maybe he was surprised by the sudden explosion of breakfast in his face, and the older officer only looked as the commotion took place. He would have surely recognised her! She acquiesced to Indrean as he took her as a prisoner out of the inn. She should have not doubted him. If he was going to collect the bounty on her, his payoff walked into the inn with those soldiers. She felt so bad for Indrean but didn’t break from being his unwilling the prisoner.<br/><br/>As Indrean backed out the door, he didn’t let go of her one bit. Daewyn had no choice but to do as he wished. Unfortunately they didn’t get far before the Gondorian commander and two of his soldiers came out the door after them. The commander said,<br/><br/>“Hold there! I am Captain Berenthal of House Hawthien! He have come for Lord Dírwon’s daughter Daewyn! We can take her off your hands bounty hunter! How much did Hilgor promise you for her?”<br/><br/>Several other soldiers came around from the back of the inn from both sides, and with a move of Berenthal’s hand, their swords came out. Daewyn twisted her head, freeing her mouth from Indrean’s hand. She said,<br/><br/>“Berenthal, have your men stand down! I am Dírwon’s daughter, and you will do as I command!”<br/><br/>Berenthal smiled and shook his head. He said,<br/><br/>“Nay m’lady. If this man wishes the bounty sum which Hilgor offered, he will remove his hands from you and you will come with us freely.”<br/><br/>Daewyn swallowed and looked to Indrean. Her eyes spoke silently to his. Maybe he should take the money and she will go with Berenthal. Maybe he would try and help her escape later? She didn’t know. He is so honourable and she wished she had not brought him troubles.<br/></span>
