Madea and Hathorn were still waiting out the back of the inn. Madea was still contemplating the offer which her friend had made her. "Hathorn." she began "but.. but.. I dont love you..." she said poulling on his arm. He just laughed at her. "Nor i! But at least then you will be free, under my roof." Madea was still wide eyed.

"But dont you want to marry someone else, someone who loves you?" she frowned. "No, not at all, i dont care for that emotional stuff, all I need is someone who thinks alike, and are we so very different you and I?" He had a point. "No", she said "Thankyou Hathorn, You are a true friend, but where will we live?"

Hathron smiled. "Minas Tirith, ive transferred from the Dol Amroth guards to the city guard. Now.. keep youself down." said Hathorn as a group of riders rode down into the yards of The Green Dragon. One stopped, "Hathorn! what are you doing here?" Hathorn ran out to greet them. "The General sent me, told me Madea could be here. He was wrong though, they havent seen her in about a month." he lied.

"If you say so, goodbye" they said and rode off. "That was the most... that was the... thanks Hathorn." she stammered at her luck of escaping. "Now lets go back inside." he said taking her arm.
