Emerald watched intently as Arrowin performed her little stunt. She then gave Frank a quick good luck kiss on the cheek and ran off the join Arrowin. She grabbed the rope and quickly scaled the castle wall, landing next to Arrowin at the top. After glancing down at the rest of the group, she returned her attention to the castle. "There." she said, pointing to the stables.

Frank smiled as he felt Emeralds kiss and nodded as a sign of good luCk before he turned his attention back to the horses. He checked each ones tack before leaning himself against the castle wall, palm resting on the hilt of his sword, hood covering his face and bright eyes scanning intensely.

Saya watching quietly.

(( Oh my gosh I'm sorry guys can you please re-accept me into the RP? I just grew bored of it I think... I'm not sure what happened I haven't been on chickensmoothie for months... but I'm back now, and I'll post as often as I can. Forgive me? Let's just say Chris was still in hiding, just watching the Hood, not a part of it yet. But he's ready to come back with an apology. And Prince Stephan could have been spending a lot of time in town, trying to earn the Hood more funds and insider information. And Sam is still off on his mission somewhere, maybe plotting revenge... recap? ))

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

(Glad to have you back! But for recap, not much. We haven't really rped a lot since you've last been on. All that happened is Arrowin got her spunk back and is leading the Hood into another mission inside the castle, Emerald found out Matthew was Casper's brother.)

[GoldenStateOfMind]

(( Whew. Thanks. Okay, let's get things started. I'll try to think of another dramatic twist for tomorrow. ))

Chris edged himself around the turret of the Hood's small castle, keeping an eye out for any members. He was bathed in shadow and the cool stone of the wall pressed into the skin of his back. Suppressing a shudder at the sight of the eerily empty courtyard, he ducked down into the ferns that licked around the castle's wall and crawled under a window. He couldn't be seen. For all the Hood knew (aside from Arrowin of course) he could be dead. Sudden curiosity overtook him and he let out a long, low whistle, to show someone was near. If Rebecca or the Prince was around, they would come looking for him soon enough. He needed to speak with someone one-on-one, to explain himself and hopefully come back to the Hood. He slid into a sitting position and waited, two freshly killed rabbits in hand as a peace offering.

Prince Stephan had ridden off into town as soon as Arrowin had led the rest of the Hood to raid the King. He couldn't force himself to go back, even as a spy, because telling Kyle about his past had brought back too many memories of his old life. He couldn't fight with half of his heart on the other side, and the royal family still believed he was missing or perhaps had been killed. Now here he was, just arriving at the bustling market, with gold coins jingling in his pocket. He tied up Sinner with a loving stroke and set out for the barber's first. He had been promised a few rare daggers, which were usually used for shaving, and he made a deal with the shopkeeper to get them cheaply. He planned to distribute them to the Hood members to keep for emergencies in their riding bags. When he reached into his satchel to pay, he realized he didn't have much money left. A worried frown tugged at his features and he produced enough for the daggers. Nodding in thanks and quickly exiting the store, he counted out the money. There was not much left, only enough for a few weeks more of supplies. In his head he began to cut back on the Hood's spendings. They could hunt for food, and grow a few simple crops, but they would have to do without necessities such as bread, butter, wine, brandy, oils, cheese, some fresh fruits and nuts, and milk. That is, until they could get their hands on a cow, which would take a fair amount of time and dedication in the first place. Not to mention the horse's tack and upkeep needs. Or new weapons and armor. He hoped that the Hood would come back from the raid successful. Just in case, Stephan trudged over to the carpenter's, and got himself a position as woodsmen. Twice a week, he would head into the forest and chop wood to replenish the craftman and carpenter's supply. Once he had gathered a few remaining necessities (among them a crackling loaf of still-warm bread, a pint of olive oil, a quarter pound of butter, some rosemary herbs, and three bottles of the finest wine he could find; he decided they would need to stock up on food, despite his dwindling funds. It was food-and wine-that kept most of the Hood working properly), he returned to Sinner and rode back to the castle where he let his steed graze. On his way to the kitchen to deliver the food, he picked a small bouquet of goldenrod flowers for Rebecca. He had planned to buy her a fancy bunch but knew that flowers weren't as important to the hood as weaponry and such. He headed into the small castle's main entrance, wondering if the girl he adored was waiting inside. Caught up in daydreams, he didn't even notice the figure crouched far off in the bushes.

Sam collapsed onto the tree's roots, to exhausted to go any further. This trip was taking it's toll on him, and he wasn't nearly as burly as he used to be. He was starving, and stars spun in his vision, but he fell blissfully asleep with the motivation of revenge lingering in his mind.

Rebecca took down another shirt from the drying line hung between two windows. She had a long night ahead of her. She pretty much ran the castle and kept everything working as none of the rest of the hood cared for such stuff. She followed the clothing in the darkness with a smile on her face caught up in thoughts until something broke into her mind. She jumped at the low whistle and dropped the shirt she was holding. "Hello?" she asked and spun around with eyes wide looking for what ever or more likely who ever had made the sound. "I know your out there! Show yourself!" she called clearly. She heard movement inside the castle and stepped through the doorway guardedly until her face lit up like the candles casting light to the hallway. Stephan.

Kyle darted through the castle glad to be back home, he had raced ahead of Stephan as he was eager to talk to all the others but as he had reached the dark courtyard and the stable he had found the stable empty but for a few horses. He hurried around the castle bounding up the stairs of one of the torrents.

Arowin slipped down the walls unnoticed by the lazy guards not expecting any attacks from anyone. She hurried along the shadows towards the grand stable not far off. A guard was blocking the doorway but Arowin only smiled. She slipped up behind him and slit his throat with her knife and caught the body pulling it back into the darkest corner. Arowin then held the door open for everyone to get inside.

Emerald silently followed Arrowin, one hand on her sword in case she needed to use it at a moment's notice. It was so quiet, every noise they made seemed so loud and they all made her cringe. She knew that they weren't actually as loud as they seemed, and that she was just being paranoid, but she couldn't help it. They were finally to the stable. With a grin, Emerald snuck into the open door, nodding her thanks to Arrowin for holding it open,
