Whispering more prayers of protection to Mythal she burrowed in deeper to the strange warrior, clinging tighter. Remembering his earlier whining about needing air she loosened her arm and curled her fingers around the back of his neck. Fingertips digging into his skin she chanced a look behind them.
Biting her lip she cursed, crossbow following their movement the archer jerked back and released the bolt into the air. Eyes wide she stared in horror, the bolt came whistling towards them and suddenly lodged itself in her warrior’s lower back or his ass. It was a bit hard to tell but she hoped the bolt was lodged in his ass. She thought it fitting that the pain in her ass now would have one of his own to deal with.
Pitching forward her legs scrambled for some sort of purpose when the man stumbled down to the ground. One hand twisted through his hair, fighting to hold on. Sliding off his shoulder she threw her legs around him so she wouldn’t tumble into the muck. Crossing her ankles at his lower back she braced herself.
Nails digging into his neck she turned her head to glare at him. Tightening her hold on him as he pushed himself forward she sucked in a breath and hissed. “How is this my fault? This is only happening because of you. And they aren’t chasing us because they hate me, jerk!”
Flicking her fingers she pinched him. “This wouldn’t be happening if you had just left instead of deciding to become a stalker. Or if you hadn’t gone about instigating fights. Oh or maybe if you had oiled your rusty pile of pots so all of Thedas didn’t hear you approaching. Wait I know maybe if you hadn’t…”
Ears perking up she trailed off and turned to look away from him. She could hear rushing water and it wasn’t from the rain still pouring down. Furrowing her brow she tried to make out the exact direction of the water. Eyes narrowing her head snapped to the left.
Flexing her fingers still tangled in the warrior’s hair she gave a hard jerk in the direction she was looking. “Oi, Tinman! Turn here. Right, right… my right! Your left you bumbling simpleton!”
