☁ Grasslands

@☁ Hyuna [ I'm not sure... Sorry >__< ]

Baekho didn't know why he had stopped and stared after her as she left, but he felt he had to make sure she got where she needed safely. She seemed to make way fast and soon enough she seemed to be the size of an ant in the distance, the only thing making her stand out in the darkness being the moon playing over her pale skin.

@☾ Baekho [[so what would be our plot then?]]

She walked a bit quickly yet not showing that she was scared or intimidated by him but deep inside she was shaking to her core. She walked a few more steps before glancing back as to where she was, it was quite the distance she covered in a while so she turned around and looked if the man was following her

@☁ Hyuna [ She's a doctor. Baekho understands the important role she plays for her people. He would feel horrible capturing her, even if she might pose a threat >___< ]

"Don't thank me..." Baekho hurried to shot in, not wanting to feel like he had done any right. "Just... Be safe." He lowered his eyes to the basket, wanting to help her, but decided it was probably smartest not to intervene too much.

@☾ Baekho [[she won't be captured then?]]

She looked at him and sighed in relief as she was released from his grasp and the weapon was sheathed back to its hilt and she nodded at what she heard from him. She bent over picking up the herbs quickly and put it back on the basket and then stood up and bowed back at the man "thank you kind sir" she said and began to walk away from him

@☁ Hyuna Why did he have to have such a soft heart...? Oh, if they found out, they'd kill him.
He dropped his sword from , swinging out around a single time before sheathing it again.
"Then go. Grab your medicine and run. Don't turn back to look, don't tell anyone want you saw," he instructed, turning his back to her. "Now get going. The clan does not like intruders, but I'm not going to kill someone that can save others."

@☾ Baekho She was frightened as he tightened his grip knowing that he was not believing her and she was shaking a bit while the cold wind blew but more because of the fear she was fearing because of him "I told you, a merchant taught me how!" she said a bit frustrated as to how the man was behaving and not listening to anything she was saying or at least that's what it seemed like.

@☁ Hyuna A Doctor? Baehko hesitated for a moment, his blade sinking before he held it back up against . "I've never seen any of this used for medicine before. Now answer me, why are you this far away from your safe city at night?" He tightened his grip on the handle of his sword, his knuckles turning white in the pale moonlight. He could feel the cold nightly wind rustling his gear, but it was thick enough that he didn't register much.
The doctor, on the other hand, looked more exposed, and he could only assume that the wind was becoming cold for her to bear.

@☾ Baekho She looked at him and then at the basket "well you need to process those to become medicine, the extract from that round-like leaf cures colds after ingesting it regularly for one whole day" she explained as she thought that he might think that its a lie since most of it was used for other matters "a merchant taught me how to process them, you see I'm the nearby city's doctor so I thought I could use the herbs" she said trying best to look at him and show him her honesty

@☁ Hyuna He glanced down at the basket she had brought along, nudging it with the tip of his boot to see what it contained. He looked it over, frowning his brows gently. "Medicine? Who told you that?" he asked, a little less cold this time. It would be odd to consider the things in her basket medicine. Some of it had some healthy benefits, but most were spices at best.

@☾ Baekho She shivered and was distraught as the man stepped back a bit but didn't removed the weapon that was used to threaten her, she looked at the man and spoke "I-I came from the mountains to gather herbs, it took longer for me to get down the mountain so I had to go back late, i-in my basket you'll see the herbs, their medicine for my people" she said stuttering with fear as she explained her situation to the man that was definitely not from her country.

@☁ Hyuna Baekho observed her as he slowly stepped around to face her, never moving the tip of his blade. Her clothes were too light for anything practical, most likely ruling out her being a spy. But at the same time this could all be a ruse, trying to catch him off guard, hoping he'd let someone innocent looking through.
"What are you doing out here alone at an hour like this?" he asked, still not letting his tone get any warmer.

@☾ Baekho She walked and smiled leisurely taking her time as she walked down the dirt road her boots making a rustling sound here and there as the moonlight reflected of her rosy white skin as she wore a shirt and shorts that show off her thighs down to her knees. She was sure nothing would happen to her until she heard the sound of a blade, she squealed and drop the basket of plants and herbs she collected as a man drew his blade to her and put it on . She was shaken and scared by the sudden situation that came to her and was afraid of what could happen to her.

@☁ Hyuna Baekho was about to turn back and head for camp again when a small footstep was heard carried off with the wind. He pushed himself up to his knee, quickly spotting the source of the sound a few feet away. It would usually be difficult to see at night, but the moon was bright enough that he could make out a human, female, light. Reflects kicked in faster than he himself could react, his feet soundlessly touching the ground as he closed up on the character, his hand already on his blade. She looked the perfect build for a spy, agile and light, and Baekho had no doubt that she could be sitting upon information that could be crippling.

As he closed up, he drew his sword, the sound of metal brushing its sheathe ringing just long enough for her to be able to react before he had put the tip of the blade at . "Stop... right... there..." he muttered in a harsh tone, sparing no hint of sympathy in his voice.

@☾ Baekho Hyuna was walking back on the trail after studying and gathering medicinal plants from the mountain, a merchant said that these plants would be useful in curing common diseases like fever, colds, and coughs and even flu. She walked down the mountain trail and went back to the trail that would lead her back to the city, it was dark but she did not mind as there were no incidents that happened in this part of the city. She walked along the trail though she did not know that the trail would pass by the outskirts and cross the border a bit as it leads back to the city, oblivious to it she continued down the path.

@☁ Hyuna Last round for the night. Maybe the others would finally let him have a few hours of sweet sleep for once, instead of forcing him to walk miles upon miles on the verge of passing out. He could feel his eyes growing heavy and his feet aching, but he knew not to mess this up. His eyes scanned along the perimeter they had established earlier, his body low to the ground, hidden from sight.
One last round, and that pillow would be his for the night.
