She's straining more now as it picks up even a little

but the eyes vanish and they aren't pursued

"I... admit.." A huff huff from the baroness "I'm ... not going to be talking much during... " Whoo "This. "

Jess keeps the pace.

THe eyes don't reappear, and Jessica has a good run, though Jett after a bit longer finally has to fall behind

Jessica keeps her pace suited to Jett's pace.

"My... apologies"

They do see a bench "Might we take a pause?"

"Sure." Jess pulls in and stretches near the bench.

Jett is grateful for the break, and sits down

Jess keeps a weather eye out on ... well, eyes. And the twins.

(Perception plus Alertness again )

Neither the troll nor the sidhe see any problem, all is well!

OOC Lawd.

And the Baroness says "You enjoy running, it's not just excercise for you?"

"Yes. I do."

"I think I may need time to adjust," she chuckles actually. "I am more used to dancing for long periods rather than running. Different set of muscles"

"Oh? Oh. They are?"

"Well, that's my excuse anyway" She confides

"No, I get it. I ran cross country in high school."

"It shows" She nods "You seem very... at peace when you run."

"It helps."

"I suppose I prefer socializing. Listen, about the prisoner... has anyone taken a lock of his hair? And..would that be unreasonable?"

"Not to my knowledge and... no."

"I'll have it done while he sleeps then."

"That...is well."

A nod then "When the Baron revives, I think he'll be touched you looked after his holding so. Or perhaps not too sentimental, Varich are... often aloof with their emotions"

"You ok with that?"

"Frankly, Countess, I'm surprised you haven't accused me ... indirectly at least, of being a hold digging status climber. Landless as I am, I arrive for that 'beauty contest' and end up fighting through the other bachlorettes to impress a man we all barely know. By old dreams, this is nothing to be ashamed of. By modern dreams of feminism...one could accuse me of setting the movement back 50 years" wryly then she says "But whatever you think, you have treated me as just another advisor. Obviously I'd love if you handed me the keys to the hold pro tem, but ...fairness is more than I expected"

"I am glad to have met you and started with you like this, then; albeit I might wish for other circumstances."

She inclines her head "As would I, but yes, it's a good start. I disagree on some matters , but you've heard me out. I can ask for no more than that." She frowns "I confess, I am not sure I trust this 'cure'. I worry the assassin gave it up too easily"

"Let's head back, see what the current status is."

She nods "Ready to run back again, thank you for the break"

"Sure." Jess waits till she's ready, and jogs the way back.

And they Jog back... Phobos keeps up from a distance

Where is Demos?

Good question... she was just thinking that.

She looks about... and sees Demos striding over dragging a nunehi woman, who wseems coated in blood. A Redwater ... one having war with the Mer.

"Oh... crap." and she goes to help Demos.

"How did we miss... " The Sidhe winces "Nevermind" She follows

"She was lining up a small spear on you, boss" Demos said

"Will she live?"

'The blood isn't all my doing... she sweats chimerical blood. Frankly?" Demos says "it makes me hungry"

She is injured, but not badly

OOC Redwater?
