Lina jumped back, startled "wha-" "what exactly happened," Marie asked "apparently Ren here is actually G-" Ren put his hand on his mouth "going to come with yall! If ya dont mind" He winked but still felt nervous, Marie glared at Ren "tell me what happened, now," Marie was angry, Ren sighed "well, they mistaked for a dude called Garden Andrews and well-" "you ran? How stupid are you!" Ren flinched "you could've at least played it off a little longer or better yet punch one of the officers," Marie cracked a smile, Ren relaxed "Why are you three so nonchalant about this??" Rosalina questioned "the royal guard is obviously after Ren, can't we for a second think straight," she pointed out "Well, we're already so far," Ethan reasoned "no, what if he's a criminal, what will we do then?" She kept trying, Marie cleared her throat "Well, honestly, I'm gonna be straight with you... do you know how me and Ethan met?" She asked softly "no, I just assumed that you worked for him as a servant," Ren rolled his eyes "Marie is obviously not a servant, look at the way she's dressed," her clothes weren't as nice as Ethans nor Rosalinas. her cloak had a rip at the bottom, Marie got nervous "we met outside the city-" "and she needed help so we decided I'd take her under my wing," Ethan cut in, Marie glanced at him "yea, he's helped me quite a bit," Marie remembered how he'd help her physically and mentally, she smiled "I think him and I will always be friends," that was all she had to say

The four were getting tired, Ren groaned "can we find somewhere comfortable to sleep?" He complained "there might be a tavern down the road," Ethan was driving the caravan now, rosalina was sitting up front with him and Marie was in the back with Ren "I see a sign for a one over there," Marie suggested, Ethan shrugged and parked in front, they all stepped in the place "doesn't it look nice," Ethan smiled, Rosalina crossed her arms "we'd like to get 4 separate rooms please, " Ethan smiled at the woman at the counter, she smiled "unfortunately we only have 2 rooms available," rosalina frowned "b-but," Ethan glanced at rosalina "it'll be alright, I can room with Ren and you can room with marie," he suggested, Lina blushed slightly while Marie stared into space "all right we'll take both rooms," Ethan inquired, he gave the woman the money and she handed him the keys, Ethan and Marie walked behind Lina and Ren, he nudged Marie's arm, she glanced at him "this is your chance," he whispered "what do you mean?" Marie asked "ya know, to make a move on lina," he grinned "w-what," she blushed "cmon Marie, we need to pick the bigger room," Lina crossed her arms "o-ok," Marie ran up to her
