Hidden In Light

One of Torchwood's men went back and returned to whisper in his ear, "Sir, there is no sign of them."
Holding his finger up politely to the girl, he whispered back his man, "Listen, don't look."

Going back to the girl he smiled, "So sorry. What were you saying?"

(((Or Torchwood's men centaurs too?)))

Hlogunr began to speak when another, dressed in similar armor, began to converse with the first. She could not hear what they said, but then she remembered she aught not try, as her master had warned her.
"So sorry," the first said, "What were you saying?"
"I have no doubt that your kingdom, how did you call it: Lufisite? I have no doubt it is a good kingdom of wonderous people, but I have a message for the royal house of Merinilia which I must deliver. Unfortunately, I have lost my way, and I know not whence to go from here. If you would aid me, noble horse-man, I will gladly reward you for your time and efforts."
She shivered a bit, trying to shake some dust from her cloak, with a slight look of disgust on her face. She flicked her hands twice, trying to fan the dust away before it resettled on her clothing again. Filthy world, she thought, and oh how she longed for her clean home!

Alvar took the mans hand, trying to show she trusted them... she did not. How did she truly know these were the people she was suppost to meet? Her contact had given her a sign of identification but how did she know the truth of these mens identity?
Alvars body went stiff as if fozen at the sound of the Quiet footsreps above them. What if those where the people she had to meet? No, these men had not hurt her, she wouldstay with them.. for now. The sound eventaly died away but they all stayed quiet for a few minuets to make sure those above them were gone.
Alvars attention snaped back to the mans hand who she was still gripping. She quickly let go, his hand was red. She cringed, they probably could realized how scared she had been. She was a messanger, she did not do this type of work. She had been sucked in to it, hopfully it would not stay that way.

Joshua sat by the fire, under the roots of the oak, smoking a pipe as long as his fore arm. Poking the flames with a stick, he puffed out long streams of exhaust. There had been a long period of silence between him and his friend. Finally, he spoke up. "Did our connections get through? And we know what we're doing?"

((Sorry...didn't notice this was updated...and no, his men are human))

Smiling, Torchwood nodded, "Come upon my back, Miss Hlogunr and I will take you to my lord's castle. You will get rest and some food and in the meantime I will draw you a map to where you are headed."

Leaning forward, he began to calculate. Merinilia was not an enemy country, yet. If he could somehow get the information out of this girl, he could win more favor with his king. However, there was this weakness inside him that he honestly wanted to help her. He shook his head, the orphans of the orphan house near his cottage were getting to him.

After seeing that Alvar was situated, Philip turned to Joshua, "Of course we know what we're doing. And, this," Philip pointed to Alvar, "She is our connections." Philip changed his pitch of voice as he switched his attention to Alvar, "You did come here to tell us something, didn't you? May I guess your name is Alvar?"

Hlogunr hesitated. It was in her best interest to travel alone, she knew, but she also knew nothing of the way to go. But horses are... dirty an-and... smelly and... and there was nothing that would make her ride one.
She cleared her throat, and said, "I must decline the offer to meet your lord, sir. I am in haste and must be about my business. Although, I would not reject an escort, if you insist on showing me a kindness, and if your lord would allow."
She chided herself for that. Why did she invite them along?

Alvar grew stiff. How would he know her name? She was not the one who was suppost to be sent..... Was this a trap?
"I may have somthing for you, or at least know where it is. But that all dependes on how you belive that is my name....." alvar watched him closly, she was playing dangerous games but she had to be sure.
