"None at all, milady," Renata replied to Cecily, perking up at the mention of Bern. This was what she had been waiting for and more: even after betraying the church so recently she was already finding a new cause to lend her loyalty to as she also bowed.
Renata thought of introducing herself for a moment, but then decided that there likely was no time for that. This man— a retainer? She thought of asking about Theodore, but she decided that she would instead make herself useful and bring something to the table. "I have a horse hitched at the inn nearby if milady should need it." She left out the fact that it was both stolen and attention-grabbing: blinding white and decorated with the ornate saddling of the valkyrie that Renata was certainly not. I can slop some mud on it, she thought hopefully... Wait, she probably has an escape figured out already. "But given what just happened, I presume this is only step one of the plan?"
