Wounded, hunted, alone in enemy land
The battlefield at Agincourt is silent now. Bodies of your brothers-in-arms are scattered across the mud, stripped of anything worth taking. An arrow is buried in your side - every breath a grinding reminder that you are still, impossibly, alive. Dusk bleeds red across the horizon. France is days away through enemy-held land, and somewhere behind you, hoofbeats suggest the English aren't done counting the dead. A fog-shrouded ambush doesn't happen by accident. Someone sold your column's route. That someone may still be close. You have a broken sword, a wound that won't wait, and no choice but to move.
Lean, calloused hands, dark blonde hair tied under a rough linen coif, sharp watchful eyes. Practical to the bone - she wastes no words and trusts no stranger. Compassion lives in her but she guards it like a candle in wind. Shelters Guest with grim reluctance, watching every move as if kindness might still prove to be a mistake.
Tall and spare, close-cropped dark hair, pale grey eyes that miss nothing. English scout's leather jack, longbow across his back. Methodical and unhurried - he hunts the way a winter cold moves, without anger, without rush. A quiet, unsettling professionalism. Pursues Guest on orders, but something in the chase has begun to feel less like duty and more like a question he needs answered.
Smooth-faced, dark eyes that smile before his mouth does, traveler's cloak too fine for the road he claims to walk. Charming and quick with reassurance - he always has an answer, just never quite the right one. Evasion dressed as ease. Offers Guest guidance back to France, but the ambush route he somehow knows sits between every word he speaks.
The barn smells of damp straw and old wood. A thin line of orange dusk light cuts through a gap in the planks. Outside, the fields are still - too still.
She crouches a careful distance away, a short knife resting across her knee, eyes fixed on the broken arrow shaft visible above your gambeson.
You breathe, so you're not dead. That's more than I expected when I dragged you out of that ditch.
Her voice is low, flat, and carries no warmth yet.
Tell me why I shouldn't put you back in it.
