[with Thomas]

[A day or two after this.]

There are five of the liveried guardsmen in the inn now, and two in the stables.

Kaya hid the night in a storeroom bin that used to hold apples, and is now peering through a crack in the wall into the common room and trying to find a way past them.

He's thankful, that Kaya is light. It allows him some maneuverability, still, vaulting over fallen trees and ducking under low branches without losing much of his stride.

If that guardsman catches up to them, it'll be their death.

There's a soft grunt from Thomas, as something stings him. Though it's likely just a branch that's hitting him as they pass. All it manages to do, though, is just but the barest moments of a hitch to his step, before he presses on.

Thomas isn't letting her go anytime soon, and as soon as the guard is out of visual range, he does his best to move a bit more stealthily. It wouldn't do for them to get away, only for them to be followed easily.

"Doesn't matter," he pants in a low tone, suddenly feeling winded and a little light headed. "We have to put as much distance between us and them as humanly possible."

"C'n manage."

He's aware of a stinging in his side, now, and he shifts Kaya over to one arm while the other inspects. When his hand comes away slick with blood, he can only blink at it confusedly as he stumbles.

"...Oh."

"Well...this just fucks everything up."

Carefully, he places her on the ground, and presses his hand to his side to staunch the flow.

"We should keep going."

Thomas frowns.

"Let's at least get a little more hidden, okay?"

Not too much father away, they manage to find an overhang of rock, mostly covered by dense foliage. Nearby, there is the telltale sound of nearby water.

Thomas ducks into the alcove, grunting and using the wall as guidance as he sinks to the ground.

He reaches with his free hand to squeeze her fingers gently.

"Easy, take a breath. Be calm, then act."

He's vertical...ish. Looking sort of pale as he clutches his side.

"Quick one, aren't you?"
vagrant_malkin: (neutral)

[personal profile] vagrant_malkin 2013-11-28 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, okay. Just...hold on."

His hands are shaking some, as he tries to get out of his shirt.

Except there's more fabric still, tight and binding, where Kaya would likely expect to see bare chest.

Thomas is trying very hard not to think about that, and focus more on staying alive.
