Looking back out, Ranu heard a faint neigh. Another horse? He thought, looking around. His own should have stayed away until he blew his whistle. Glancing down, he frowned, Someone else. He watched silently, then lept over the wall, sliding against the wall, to try and reduce his speed. As he got lower, he pushed off, landing behind the girl and cursing softly, but recovering. "Well well well." He muttered, in a cold tone, his eye twitching madly from the pain, which was showing by how his weight lay on his left foot. Really gotta work on that. Last time I got my wrist.

Adriana turned around, her muscles tense with one dagger in her right hand, now against the intruder's throat. "Do you care to have a slit throat and for me to leave your body in the storm?" she hissed, annoyance and suprise in lying in her hazle eyes. "What do you want?" she asked, turning her head to whistle three notes- two high and one low. Her horse would find her and suddenly spending a storm inside Minas Tirith didn't taste to ggod.

Ranu didn't even blink at the knife. So far, things were going to plan. He begun concentraiting, but it would take a while before he could get a slight fire in the handle to make her drop the blade, "I am here trying to see why you are standing outside, in plain sight, and leaving your horse in a place that makes it rather obvious there is someone here." His eyes closed as he laughed, it was a cold laugh, that matched his voice, then his eyes reopened, "And perhaps if you wish to 'slit my throat', as you so well put it, you wish to know who I am? I am Ranu, son of the north. And whom are you?"

Adriana's face was staright. Who did this guy think he was questioning her? She pressed the knife harder to his throat, a slight trikle of crimson blood flowing as his skin punctured. "I am a ranger. Adriana, they call me. Adriana Rowan of Rohan. I have come to seek refuge from the upcoming storm, if you did not notice the thunder," she indicacted just as a blast of thunder drummed in the sky. She did not flinch. "And what do you think you may be doing here, Ranu/" That name seemed familiar as it slid of her tounge, but she shoved the thought into the back of her mind. If a man was to sneek up on her, she didn't care.

[Theres only one good thing about being single, I'd discovered. You can eat Salt and Vinegar crisps, and know you'll not kissed and found out. xd ]
"Rowan. A name I've heard before" he said faintly. Ignoring the blood, he closed his eyes, searching his memory. A horse kept popping up. "Does the name Blackheart ring a bell, pe'haps, lady Adriana?"

((Amen!)) The grip on the knife was loosened as the name also played over in her mind. "Ranu Blackheart?" she said again, simply. She remembered a tiny bit of her childhood, back when times were better in Rohan. "Where did you grow up, Master. Blackheart?" she questioned him as she looked at his face. It seemed somewhat familiar- the bone structure and all- but mostly it was his eyes that made her mind instantly click to a childhood friend of hers.

Kar nodded. He knew what it was like to have a difficult mount. He still thought it was funny though that he found a dwarf whos riding skills matched an elfs. He cleared his throat to get rid of the akward silence.

Still in a foul mood, Kareswen didn't try to help him out. If he found the silence uncomfortable, so much the better. She knew somewhere deep down that she was being unfair, that one comment shouldn't let her develop a dislike for someone she'd known for less than a day, but at the moment she didn't really care. She was in no mood to be open-minded so she left him to struggle. A small part of herself was enjoying this.

[Viva le Salt and Vinegar!] Ranu breathed out softly, curing inside that his carefully gathered magic to burn her knife had faded back into his body. It would take the same amount of time to get it again. He was hesitant to get it back. "From a cold village, that was destroyed by Orc's." He replied, "But I spent alot of time in Rohan"

Her knife was lowered, still slightly gripped in her lowered hand, and eyebrow cocked. "Ranu Blacheart/" she repeated again under her breath, feeling as it had been said a billion times already in her short lifetime. The face... the name... it all did seem familiar, but in such times Adriana was not the type to be easily convinced. "What did you do in Rohan, milord?" she asked, using proper title to show respect, but not yet trust.

Ranu closed his eyes, trying to remember. "My father used to meet the king. They were friends or something. I would play in the fields, with my best, no, my only friend." A smile slid across his face, though his eyes didn't open, at the memory.

Adriana had flashes of playing through the fields of Rohan with a young boy. "Laughing in the sunlight while Pap was at work. 'This war will never keep us from being friends.' " Adriana said, smilling as the falshes turned into seconds of memories. The good times, they were. But what is childhood rather than a time of not having to woory?

Kar nodded. He thought a second, 'So, we're just watching them?' he asked. 'Seems pointless really, how is watching them going to stop them?'

She shrugged. "I dono, guess where there headed and warn the towns folk." She yawned and walked in pace with the orc army.
