"Had a run-in with trouble here before," the mercenary replied to Shad. Before the curious man could dig any further, he decided to explain a little. "It involved this man," he pointed with his thumb to Satsume, "And Lady Orica of House Tania. And no, I don't know what happened to her. For all I know or care, she's dead. Strong in the arm, that one, but dumb as shit when it comes to tactics on any level beyond a frontal assault. Or perhaps defense."
Fred shook his head, "We can bother with that later. Hyah!" He cracked his reins and spurred his horse into a gallop, heading out of the city as fast as his beast's legs would take him. He heard the others follow suit. When they were on the open road, though, he slowed, encouraging the others to adopt a similar pace, so they could resume their conversation without immediate threat of pursuit. Of course, they would be pursued later, but later was not his concern, for the moment.
"Now then, where were we? Ah, yes, where to go," Fred mulled it over, thought about it once more, and then said, "Bern. It's our only hope for sanctuary right now. We're hemmed in on all other ways, are we not?"
