Vin turned and smiled at Beldur, he always worried for her. It was about the only constant thing in her life as long as she could remember and it was absoloutely reassuring. She really didn't appreciate tat on a daily basis but when she thought about it, it was actually endearing. Out of the meager people she had actually gotten close to in her life, Beldur was the only one who actually cared for real. She smiled and took a hard look at him; the soft curve of his lips met familiar flesh that she knew all too well, a handsome nose and a strong jawbone with slight rubble. Understanding, brilliant eyes followed that she always enjoyed staring into, trying to figure out the mystery that he proved to be. She knew that you can really never know a person completely but his eyes made her want to, she wanted to just sit there for hours, listening to his past.
She touched his face, her fingers resting on his cheek as she stared into his eyes, her own inquisitive. She wanted to be there forever with him, but she knew how unlikely that was. Grey Wardens lived short, fast paces lives and she would be lucky if they would be able to squeeze perharps another ten years out of it. She also knew, even though she hated thinking about it and the mere thought made her spine tingle unpleasently, she wouldn't always be able to protect him. Things happened and they lived a dangerous life and it didn't matter how much she loved him, it wouldn't stop the world from taking place. She sighed and removed her hands from his face, putting them on her thigh for the moment and gave Beldur a cheesy smile, still slightly lost in thought.
"You don't need to fret about me Beldur, it wasn't the deep." She glanced at the other men, making sure they knew that she wasn't that harmed and she could still fend for herself; just in case they got any thoughts of mugging them with an injured Grey Warden, even though it was quite unlikely because Beldur was around. "But going to the woods sounds like a good idea, getting rid of unwanted Darkspawn is always fun." She grinned and gave Beldur a small wink, assuring him that she would not exaust herself. She, like always, was not worried about exhausting but instead of how many there would be, being outnumbered was never great fun. But the challenge, on the other hand, was great fun.
She took ahold of Beldurs hand, giving a nod and a promise to return later to the other men as she walked away with Beldur. She pursed her lips and walked in silence, simply listening to the crunch of gravel under her feet. It was one of those sounds that she really enjoyed listening to, it always just sounded right. Her free hand found itself in her hair as the slight wind made it sway. She would need to cut it again, it was getting too long for her tastes; she hated when it got in her face in battle. Long hair was a simple annoyance to her although she would probably murder Beldur if he cut his, it just looked good on him.
"Do you really think there are Darkspawn chilling out in the forest attacking caravans? I mean, I can see it happening but it sounds more like a petty thives thing. But I guess it is worth a look, you never know, right?" She asked Beldur, looking around at the ruddy, twilight sky. The nights first few stars where already out, trying vainly to light up the night, the slight outline of the moon doing a better job. As they walked further, trees started to block out the sky, making it seem much darker than it really was. But, with her hand in Beldur's grip, she felt safe. Her eyes surveyed the area as they continued walking, a comfortable silence falling between the two.
The silence lasted for a while and Vin sighed, there was still no signs or anything or anyone. "I seriously doubt there's anyone here Beldur. But do you want to be safe and cover extra ground and split up? Because if there were darkspawn I'm sure they would have attacked by now. Now I just think we're looking for a few thieves who have nothing better to do than rob caravens." She told him, pulling her hand out of his and resting them on her torso, on of them compression her wound that had been pulsating, nothing she couldn't handle though, she had had worse. "Want to?" She said, a small smile on her face, not that he would be able to see it that well in the darkness.
