You remember your father once telling you that the short route to the Elven Kingdom is littered with bandits trying to steal people for the slave trade... So you respond with confidence, "Let's take the longer road... perhaps it will give us time to catch up."
Elizabeth smiles and responds "Ok... but just so you know it will be a two nights walk to the Elven kingdom..."
Thinking of what could happen in two nights you reply, "That's fine with me Elizabeth."
You turn toward Rachael and give her the hint to go walk with Margaret so that you and Elizabeth can have some space.
Rachael takes the hint, sighing before she rushes to catch up with Margaret. She shouts, "Come on Margaret slow down, its is my turn to watch your worthless ass."
Margaret snarls at her "You better learn to treat me better or I'll have you hung when we get back. I am a nobleman's daughter after all... and you are nothing but a little bar wench..."
Rachael laughs to herself, there is no way she is going to make it back home with her status intact... perhaps even her life... But for now, she knows she still has to show her respect, even if its completely non genuine...
"Yes my lady..." She says with a hint of sarcasm.
With the odd duo of Rachael and Margaret in the lead, it gives you some alone time to talk to Elizabeth.
