(Actually, it's not quite THAT late in the morning; it's still quite dark ^_^)<br/><br/>The trip was free of people, guards... it looked like they were home free.  Metaphorically speaking anyway.<br/><br/>"Yes, good little slave." she said, petting the woman's pretty little head "Follow mistress now, we've got some walking ahead of us..."<br/><br/>And so the trip began, leaving the town far behind them, trees lining their path as they made it, heading out into the unknown...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Several hours later, dawn was finally starting to break, and they had made quite a good pace.  The older, far taller woman in clothing kept to the slave's pace, instead of forcing the smaller woman to exhaust herself trying to keep up with the bigger woman.  Yawning, the older woman stopped, the slave behind her nearly bumping into her.<br/><br/>"Hm... should we camp here or keep going?  We might could afford a few hours, or we can just wait for tonight." she said, thinking out loud "Do you have it in you to keep going, slave?  And feel free to talk more, by the way; walking in silence is a tad boring..."
