Raban was a lot of things, frustrated included but he knew he had to get a handle on his emotions before they ran away with him. He could see what Cadfael would say right now and none of it pleasantly worded. He breathed in deeply and closed his eyes for a moment before he reopened them and...

Raban was not a man used to a civilian's life and yet this was now potentially the life set before him. He had known it was a time that would come but the bounty hunter had forced his hand. Forced many hands really. He wished he had given more thought into knowing what a regular civilian even...

Raban looked towards the window, mixed in a heady set of thoughts about a lot of things. He was grateful he wouldn't have to leave in the midst of a heavy winter where foraging was ten times harder not just for him but for Chestnut too, or where the weather would catch him out especially if he...

Raban nodded and not for the first time did he wish he could be of more use to her but with his house arrest, the amount he could help her was limited. He knew there'd be much that would make her rely on her own initiative whilst she was out on patrols or working in the city itself with whatever...

Raban glanced down to her as she huffed and he couldn't blame her for hating the suggestion he was putting forward but he had lived long enough to know that rushing into matters seldom solved a problem without raising consequences down the line. He was taught well and was experienced to know...

Greaves presented a very real problem but it was one that could wait till he knew more or the situation presented itself to change. For now, he simply had to make it through living with others in a closer proximity than he was entirely used to and preparing for leaving come the springtime. He...

The information was still slow to sink in and he was amazed he had been granted such a thing. The most he had hoped for was to be allowed to live even if it meant a lifetime's exile. Well, he had anticipated that, but to receive an honourable discharge was something else and he didn't know how...

Raban found himself eventually tending to Chestnut after helping Tina in as much as he could. He knew he wasn't considered a burden or anything but it was a feeling he couldn't help. He was not used to having so much free time on his hands. Raban paused trying to recall the last time he ever was...

He smirked lightly quite enjoying the sound of the giggles she made. It was oddly refreshing given recent events and the weather. He didn't particularly enjoy the rain or the cold much even if he was able to withstand it better than most. Either through his own fur or through Chestnut's ability...

Raban shifted so he was a bit more comfortable as he continued sitting in the chair he was in. He was wamr and cozy with no real desire to move anytime soon but he knew he would have to eventually if not for duty than for other bodily needs. She looked his way in surprise and he hoped he hadn't...

Raban's head lay back on the back of the chair but his frame was otherwise relaxed and at peace. All the tension he had been riding with for the last few days seemed to have evaporated in one embrace of a warm and safe environment. His breathing was even and nothing seemed to be able to disturb...

How he got into the saddle remained anyone's guess, or rather anyone but Kiegal but Raban clamped his hands around the saddle horn and felt the shift of the horse beneath him. The scent of the black stallion was strange and foreign to Raban in the proximity of it yet oddly familiar from passing...

"Ey, ey, ey, easy Little Wolf... That cage did a number on you... take it slow," Raban had to bite back the 'yes mum' response as Chestnut scolded him for taking things too fast. He hadn't though he had been that expecisally swift in getting to his feet but sure enough, his muscles complained...

Raban became aware over a time how heavier her body grew against him and after the silence had filled his ear, his hearing soon picked up on the change of her breathing. He didn't move, only adjusted the blanket as he held her against him and kept a steady rhythm of his own breathing. Right now...

The desire for sleep was edging around his mind but Raban's mind kept it at bay with his thoughts. They spun and circled around his mind like falcons riding in the air. There was a level of relief in some ways. His secret might be out and known by all by now but he no longer had to be so careful...

The food was simple yet incredibly delicious to his taste buds. It hadn't been that long since he had food before this but given the exertion placed upon his frame inside the cage, he supposed he had used up energy reserves he hadn't realised he had used up. Raban could go for an entire deer but...

For once, Raban did not shirk or stiffen or squirm in the hug. The contact felt needed in the space and anxiety of the trauma they had both experienced in such a short space of time. Raban was aware it was also largely down to the a fact that hugs and other touchy feely practices humans normally...

"Yes, it's me," Good. His mind wasn't playing tricks with him, that all of this wasn't some elaborate concoction his mind had dragged together. He had half a mind to fear such an event... there were gaps in his memory, confusion swaddling his mind like an unwelcome soggy blanket. He only had...

Raban was not entirely conscious of what was around him, his body relying on the messages his senses conveyed to his basic fight or flight needs. He couldn't really see all that clearly, his vision was blurry and uncoordinated and so he just settled for half-lidded eyes that didn't foucs on...

Raban's body was a deadweight, a heavy weight of muscle and reacted to none of the outside influences that tried to rouse it. Even his body heat had begun cooling, quickened by the cold flagstones beneath him. The man gave every appearance of being dead and held no reaction even through the...
