Helen did not know if she could endure such heartbreak as to lose a husband in battle. Much less to not know until the battle was over that her spouse was dead and there was no honorable way to join them. She could assume they hadn't yet had any little ones, as no man of the Orc would leave his young behind with the mother dead. "I have not yet known the happiness of marriage, nor the heartache you have endured," she spoke, taking a swig from a water flask as she turned the meat over on the spit. "My father was meant to pick a man for me, but... I have grave disliking for those he chose," she vaguely spoke of the truth, grinding her teeth a little at the thought.<br/><br/>It amused her though to think that this man sat before the very woman he claimed he'd never seen, or been lucky to know. "Unwilling is putting it lightly. I fully expect her to burn her father's kingdom to the ground, if not Barrthland as well... unless they throw her into a cell of course and she has to, as you stated, become a fugitive." She gave a quirked smile of the corner of her lip. "Aye! Better to be living in exile than to become a broodsow of illegitimate heirs for that pig Trevon!" she slammed her hand on her knee before taking another drink of water.<br/><br/>Helen took note of the differing lands, her eyes shifting between the cooking meat and her ... well, rather handsome host for the evening. There was a genuine surprise upon her features though as he offered to travel with her. Those golden eyes widened as the emerald of her skin glistened in the firelight. "Hmm... there is sense in what you say. There are certain dangers a female does face in traveling alone.. it might well suit me to have a marksman like yourself along." Not to mention the fact that being on the run, her father and his guards would be looking for a lone female... not a female and a male traveling together.<br/><br/>"Very well. I would have you travel with me," she spoke as decisive as a noble, as if now that the subject was broached, he could not withdraw his offer. "Though there are ground rules I will establish. Not to insult the memory of your dear wife, may her battles in hereafter speak of her glory, but I am aware of your stare, Kall. Just because we're traveling together does not give you leave to attempt to share my bed. Secondly, for ... reasons... if anyone asks how long we have been traveling together, I would be obliged if you would say over a year or so. Not to get into detail, but... you well deserve to know I am on the run from my tribe. If I am found and caught, you are not obliged to come to my defense, I won't be killed by them, though if you do... and are successful... I will pay you. Is this agreeable?"
