Wandering Storyteller
Faith was very aware of the fact that they were being followed. The men were sloppy. But she wasn't sure if it was intended or not. Some people wanted it to be known, to strike fear into the hearts of those they were pursuing. But it was stupid beyond belief. She felt her muscles tense in preparation for immediate action, as they entered the ally. She was well aware of her natural advantages. They would help, though she'd have to be careful not to leave her charge behind if they had to run. She wondered if Anne knew how brave she was being. She doubted it. Very few people knew when they were truly being brave.
Faith further eased out her blades unobtrusively. Not quite out of their scabbards, they'd be a lot less easy to hide out of the scabbards, but she would not slow herself down any more than she absolutely had to. Nor was she going to put any real distance between her and Anne. She was ready for anything.
