Thorin gave a slight nod towards the soldier as he accepted the torch from the soldier. Perhaps it was a little unwise to take it, but light was scarce at this time, and he might have needed it to spot Violet, or rather for her to spot him quicker. It might have meant that Thorin was a easier to spot target for creatures,  but such was the risk he had to take right now, as it seemed that Drackson wanted Violet in the city as quick as possible.<br/><br/>With a heavy step he made his way on the  road that lead west which lead to the forest, normally it would take about half an hour to reach the edge of the forest, but Thorin had a quick pace to his step, as if he was almost jogging towards the forest as he was obviously in a hurry, he did wonder why Violet was so important to Drackson, she seemed at least important enough that this had to be done in the middle of the night, Thorin did not question it any further though, as a mission was a mission and Drackson was at least someone he knew.<br/><br/>Before he knew it, he had reached the forest, and was now walking among the trees in familiar terrain, he loved spending his days and walks in the woods, after all, it was where he was raised for all those years before setting out on his journey with no end to it. When in the forest though, his pace had slowed down, if there was something in the forest with the intention to hurt him he would at least not give anyone an impression of being in a hurry or afraid by running, as such his step was firm and steady as he walked along the main path.
