She gripped her bow firmly with a smirk. "I think I can handle myself..." She stepped into the mist and quickly took up the rear of the company. She walked silently a pace behind, eyes darting from rooftops to hidden alleyways, alert for any movement.
After they had gone a ways, she moved next to Awyrgan as he stopped against the building. Her gaze followed his and she saw the walls of the palace ahead of them. She also saw something that was not settling. The black figures of men were at guard, alert as if expecting something.
She looked back to the man with the noble across his shoulders. "I have no doubts that the corsair you set loose had anything to do with this call to arms..." her voice barely held register before she turned to the noble. "The main entrance is heavily guarded...is there no other way?"
The noble nodded "There are many ways in, but the tower is closest to the main entrance...if you can get to the side unnoticed however, the gardens might provide a less noticable approach."
She moved to look again. "I can not see the guard near the gardens, nor at the tower. I suggest we take that route none the less...it may prove to be less perilous than charging all those men."
