The chains removed he almost had a panicked look on his face, constantly glancing at them as if something were wrong. The wounds did heal quickly, by the time she was done cleaning them they were healed though the more healing down the less lively he looked. He watched her carefully as she spoke then opened his mouth to speak, a rather rough and gutterly voice replying, "Thane." but that was all he said, and in response to the second question he simply shook his head and looked to the east. |

His voice came as a shock to her. She hadn't been expecting him to answer, but he did. She smiled and took a step, as the wounds were now cleaned... and healed somehow. That still made her wary, but she kept the smile on her face. She followed his eyes when he didn't answer her question and her body shivered. That was the direction she and Drake were going to be going today. Today? How long had she slept? She wasn't tired anymore, so she guessed it had to have been a few hours. Maybe even all night. Drake was usually up before her. Ever since she'd escaped, she'd savoured sleep. It was a rare thing she got, even when she was sick back at her old Master's house. Staying up late to finish chores, and up before dawn to start them again. When she was sick, she either got to go to bed an hour early, or get up an hour later, not both. Looking to Drake, she smiled quietly. The man had seemed to calm down considerably, although he had had a look of sheer panic on his face a few moments ago. This look was gone now, so she didn't worry too much about it. For all she knew, it could have been his look of pain, as he had looked frightened as soon as she'd finished removing the metal bonds and began to clean his wounds. Turning back to the man, Thane, she smiled and nodded her head politely. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Thane." |

Wash: I think they really captured his essence. Kaylee: He looks kinda mean. Wash: That's sorta what I meant. Simon: This must be what going mad feels like. Kaylee: Everywhere I go, his eyes keep followin' me... | |

He raised an eyebrow slightly as the thing finally spoke, and nodded a little in acknowledgement. he didnt take much notice though, except to smile a little back at Isabel. So it had a name. That would make things mildly easier... still... "Iz, do you still want to go back there today...? in the light of... recent events, it might be best if we put it off for a time..." She was obviously preoccupied with the man's injuries... still, he didnt think it would be a good idea to leave the man down here so he could look for their home, and given the direction the man had indicated... it was fully possible that a world of trouble might be coming down this way... |

He shook his head at something, for a moment he reached for the chains but stopped and glanced around nervously. His right eye twitched and he spun around. Leaving his scarred back facing them as he looked around. The remnants of being whipped. Though many of the scars were fading, some were still rather fresh. He turned back towards them and took a step back, "They didnt follow...kept going past." he seemed to struggle a bit with the words. Not as if he couldnt talk but almost as if he was afraid to. |

She frowned slightly as she looked back to Drake. "But I have to... I can't take it any longer..." Turning back to Thane, she winced at what she saw. All across his back were the same markings she had on hers - scars from the wrath of a whip. "You were a slave. In Master Helmer's house?" She'd learned her old Master's name a few days after the last time she'd been there... 15 years ago. Subconsciously, she took a step back, almost afraid of what Thane might answer. If he said yes, she would feel pity for him and fear for them all. She knew from first-hand experience just how stubborn Helmer was, especially when it came to catching runaway slaves. Only with Drake's help and constant love and support had she always kept one step ahead of Helmer. |

The name of the man caused him to growl. That was his answer for he didnt give any verbal confirmation of it but he looked her over again and pointed to her, "Maid girl...ran away...he whipped everyone...." though she probably knew as much happened. The man was unforgiving and didnt care who got punished for the crime as long as someone did. Yet he smiled a bit and nodded his head, "I ran too....they follow....hear them? They think I kept going." he stated as he turned around again, his ears twitching. |

"He didn't stop the whippings on the maid girl's mother..." Her face lost its color and she felt rather naseous. Slowly, she dropped to her knees, clutching her hands together and holding them up to her heart. "No... " Her eyes were glossy and tears threatened to fall, but they did not fall. She still refused to cry, knowing somewhere not too far away, Master Helmer was grinning with that sadistic grin of his, probably cracking his whip across some poor slave's back because of this man's escape. She hoped he didn't have any family back at the Master's house... Taking in a deep breath, she straightened her back and stared forward defiantly. "Drake..." she murmured, turning to face her friend. Holding her hands out to him, she silently begged him to come over to her. "You know what this means, right? I can't leave them all behind. It wouldn't be right." |

ooc: you two skipped me, lol ic: he listened, his face remaining impassive, but his eyes hardened at the implications of what was being said. Gods, that that man would be doing those things to people... quietly, he got up and went over to Isabel, then took her hands and pulled her up into a hug. "Of course I know. And I know you can't let this one go. I don't expect you to." He smiled just a little, and brushed her cheek with his finger, very lightly. "But you know the drill. Whatever we do, we do together. So... why don't we go hurt that son of a bitch." He pulled his fingerless gloves on a little tighter, and patted his sleeves to be sure all the throwing knives were there, somewhere. "So, Thane. Gonna come with?" |

Thane watched the two with a slightly curious look on his face and when the mentioned going back he took a step away from them and shook his head. There was no way in hells or heavens name that he was going to try his luck on going there again, his life was spent there. Whipping after whipping, chore after chore, being paraded around like some pet then kicked around like a mutt. He took another step back and shook his head again. |

OOC: Sorry. Tee hee.
IC: She smiled, happy at the support Drake gave her, as always. For all she knew, they could be running into a death trap, but he would make sure he was at her side. That sort of fearless companionship was rare and very much appreciated, especially now, by Isabel. As he spoke to Thane, her heart sunk. The poor man, rugged and mean as he had seemed at first, was slowly retreating. She frowned slightly but nodded. "It's okay. I understand your fear completely." She tried to reach out to him with her words. She didn't care so much as to whether he went with them or not, but she'd rather he not be afraid of them. "I was the girl who ran fifteen years ago. My mom helped me escape when I was six. I returned the next day, along with Drake here, but it was too late..." She shook her head, the memory of that horrific day racing through her mind's eye. "Do you have any family there?" she asked, her voice completely solemn now. If he did, she would leave immediately. She had lost her mother - her only relative - to that man, and she wouldn't let another family suffer under his bloody wrath. |
