It had been so long since I'd had warm shower. That and clean clothes. I gratefully slip on the clothes that Ren gave me. I slide the navy blue tunic over my head and look at myself in the mirror. I looked better than I had earlier. My black hair hangs in my eyes and the tunic hangs loosely on my skinny frame, but otherwise I looked better. I open the door and walk into Ren's room. " Now what?"
Ren is sitting on the bed when I enter her bedroom. She looks up at me and we just sit there awkwardly staring at each other for what seems like an eternity. She blushes faintly and looks away. " Sorry, um. We need to get out of here. Without being noticed by anyone. That could end badly if we get caught."
I nod, " Right. So how are we going to do that?"
She grins, " Have you ever ridden a horse?"
I scoff, " I've been literally living in a hole my whole life. "
She blushes, " Right. Well it's not too hard. Before we get the horses, we need one more thing." I watch as she strides over to her closet. She pulls out a cloak that matches my tunic and tosses it to me. " Put this one. It's early morning and no one should be awake yet, but we have to be cautious."
I catch the cloak and do as she says. She pulls on a forest green cloak and motions for me to follow her. " Where are you going?" I ask her.
" To the armory of course."
