The drow seemed convinced that the other was going to shoot him, really a arrow would be a god sent compared to dying by Thalion's hands. "I'd hurry up and tells us something, I don't like going out and finding that someone has a damned contract on our heads.." The man before them finally spoke again with his ears down knowing he hardly had the upper hand here. "I dunno! hell i think they had light or a tannish color skin and it was male from the voice, roughly about 5'7 in height.. thats all i know I can't tell race by just that!"

he looked at the other for a moment "thalion....he's lying, i'm shooting him now, ok?"

He shrugged a little "go for it, he was going to die either way, like hell I was letting him run off and say he failed. It'll take longer to find a corpse." He moved out of the way to ensure Zosa had a clear shot, though the drow was protesting saying he wasn't lying and that it was the truth.

"truth or not you've given all the information we need so we thus have no further use for you." It was a little cold but then again most of what Thalion said was cold sounding.

he man shuddered then began to babble 'ok, ok, goddess, it was a wood elf, a clansman of the deep woods, i was not given a name i did not ask. this was nine days ago, i don't want to die'

He smirked a little before stepping forward still holding his weapon. The drow seemed convinced the two were really going t kill him. Reaching a hand out the frightened elf before them seemed to yelp in anticipation to what was to come. Though nothing seemed to pass as Thalion simply patting the man's head. "See was that so damn hard? and they say our kinds can't get along." He smirked a little though it was a rather wicked one as the drow seemed to nearly faint that he even had breath left.

"come on Zosa we got what we needed." He started to walk back towards Zosa but stopped a moment. "you may wish to pass the word to your employer.. he better start trying harder" Sure they could kill him, but Thalion really wanted to provoke whoever was after them. It would lead to them making a mistake sooner or later.

he watched the man turn tail and run, taking the last two steps to thalion he asked "for the love of the goddess can you help me un-notch my bow, it feels like i am pulling my arm apart at the seams."

He laughed weakly before assisting Zosa in doing what he had asked. "I figured that was the case.. normally you at least scare them and fire the arrow.. " He sighed a little before helping him put the bow up and seeing to the horses that they were unharmed for the rest of the journey.

"Though.. this information worries me, as if we didn't have enough troubles at out feet"

"you too?" he sighed "why do i have a feeling i am not going to like who it is..." he trailed off dejectedly.

He nodded a little. "I think we're on the same page then, though I pray to the goddess i am wrong." He said stale tone before mounting the horse once more. "lets move before they decide to try and get revenge for the shame we just put them through. He had to laugh knowing all too well the bitter pride of drows and that they'd hardly show the mercy that they had shown the one.

he nodded and clibed up on his horse. should we risk the horses and run it or risk our hides and keep the mounts another day? time-wise it is the same

"We can set the horses loose after another few miles, they'll go back to the village then." They could get a good few hours of riding before they should ditch the horses. "we'll take the side path as well so it's less likely we'll get attacked but it'll add a few days on the trip.." He didn't like adding days on the trip but it had to be done.

''ah, fair choice, since we are running them want to make it a races?" he didn't stop for an answer before he took off

He sighed heavily before kicking the horse to follow Zosa. "Do we always have to race!" he called out knowing the answer already, he loved running.. really as far as most of the competitions this was the main thing Zosa could beat Thalion at. "Come on your going to kill the horse!"

he laughed "no but if you want to win yours may have to be sacrificed" he careened through the open earth, forest to one side and plain to the other, far off he could see the woods touch the other side. he enjoyed the scenery, but, he thought dodging a bush, priorities were not killing the horse. he laughed again and ignored the pain. this was as close to flying he could get, he would not knock it.

He shook his head a little following after Zosa, he wasn't going to push the horse too hard but he needed to keep up at the least. Either way Zosa seemed to be enjoying this, so he wasn't going to say anything. "Nah have to let you win at something right!" Sure there were a few things Thalion lost at but still!

This went on a while longer till both horses started panting and they decided to stop the full fledged run to prevent the horses from being pushed too far.

he pulled his horse into a walk at about the same time as the other 'see, no lather no worries, though is there water around here?' he looked around for water leaving thalion to listen. ...hm, i was sure there was one not so far away
