Briana peeked out from behind her hood, looking up at the towering gates to Azgrowth. She couldn't recall being here in awhile, but the again she didn't remember what she'd had to eat last night. Had she eaten last night? She shook her head and continued walking, hoping to get into the town before nightfall. The only thing that had stuck with her from the town was the whispers of monstrous wolves in the woods. One would certainly not like to be trapped outside around these woods.

It did not amuse her that it was chilly this evening, causing her to shiver and pull her cloak tighter. Perhaps she could 'buy' a fur lined cloak while here. Smiling, she entered the town. The young blonde walked confidently towards the market place, where things were slowly coming to a close. People milled about, carrying sacks of food, jewelry, etc. Briana herself was most interested in these sacks, but it was too soon to make a move. The next town was too far away for her to create a safe escape, let alone arrive there by the time the moon shone bright.

Inhaling softly, she made her way over to a cheap looking stand. It seemed to be a simple bakery stand, with an anorexic looking, grey haired man behind the counter. He growled at her a bit as she examined the food before her. Everything looked delicious to her after a monotonous day of trudging through the snow.

"Well? You gonna buy anything or just keep standing there?" the man asked her, clearly annoyed. Briana ignored him, pulling out a small leather pouch with a few coins in it. She handed them to the man, took a loaf of bread, and left without a word. She got what she came for, and he got what he wanted. For today, they were equal and content. Tomorrow however could be a very different story.

The blonde walked through the town, putting distance between her and the market place. Once she stopped walking, she leaned against a building and tore a piece off of the loaf. She popped the piece into her mouth and chewed on it. Though it wasn't the tastiest thing she'd ever eaten, it was satisfying for the moment.

As she continued to eat, she couldn't help but wonder what had become of the wolves she'd heard so much about the last time around. As a runaway and wandering thief, Briana couldn't afford to stay in one place for too long. Being found by her parents and forced to marry was not on her list of things to do. Then again, her list of things to do was nonexistent at this point in time.
