She thought for a moment, sighing as she shook her head. "I can't, Ben, I really can't." Rowan murmured quietly, avoiding his gaze.

Benjamin stayed quiet for a couple minutes processing her decision. "Oh, alright then. I just want you to know that I wont be coming back. After this mission I won't be returning to Hawke with you, I'm sorry" Benjamin gave her a soft look before watching as the sun set over the horizon. The night sky soon swallowing any remaining sunlight.

Rowan nodded, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Well then," She started, pausing for a moment. "Better enjoy tomorrow while it lasts." She murmured, letting the silence settle before clearing her throat, standing up. "We should get going, find somewhere to stay for the night."

Benjamin nodded as he stood up, whistling for Feather. The gelding perked up before lazily trotting towards the two, he gently shoved Benjamin back. Benja stumbled back a little before giving Feather a light pat. He swung his leg mounting the horse as he waited for Rowan.

Twister was still ground tied, munching on a branch and smacking Feather with it. Rowan grabbed her reins, collecting them before mounting, readjusting her packs as she glanced back to make sure Benjamin was ready.

Feather pinned his ears, tossing his head away. Benjamin chucked at the two, before kissing him into a walk. Benjamin watched the waves once final time before they left.

Rowan walked in silence for a moment, eventually speaking. "Want to get that motel for the night we were talking about earlier?" She asked with a faint smirk, guiding Twister back onto the deer trail.
|
|  |
|
| |
|
"ye sure" Ben returned her small smirk w a smile as he followed behind her and Twister.
|

"We're doing it the normal way this time," She called over her shoulder with a chuckled, easing her stallion into a quick paced lope along the trail, eventually reaching the cobblestone road.

Benjamin glanced around his surroundings as Feather trotted behind Twister. "We almost there?" He slightly shouted as he was a big of a distance behind.
