About an hour into their walk, Ryder stooped down and scooped a small pebble off the ground. He brushed as much of the dirt off as he could and then popped it into his mouth. It still tasted like soil, but sucking on it would keep his mouth somewhat wet.

Theon glanced at him. "What are you doing?" he asked, his eyebrows cocked.

"It helps generate saliva," Ryder replied around the stone. "But of course you wouldn't know that, being an entitled ass and all."

Theon grit his teeth, wishing he hadn't lost his whip. "My apologies for being born to who I was born to," he growled, picking up a stone.

"Maybe I would be more forgiving if you weren't completely heartless," Ryder retorted. Theon couldn't blame his behavior at the Pits on anyone but himself.

Theon glared fiercely at him, but stayed silent with some difficulty. He couldn't lose this ally, because obviously he knew how to survive. He started sucking on the stone.

Rylan glanced at Theon from time to time, but he didn't speak. He focused on sucking his stone and putting one foot in front of the other. His forehead was covered in sweat and his chest felt tight, but he kept going. Just when he thought it was time to give up... the spires of Kredik Shaw appeared on the horizon.

(What is Kredik Shaw? :3 Lol... I'm a noob.)
Theon saw it and let his body relax, sighing. "That's Kredik Shaw."

(No worries xD It's the Lord Ruler's palace in Luthadel.)
"We're probably a few hours away," Ryder said. He cast Theon a wary glance. Would the man turn him over as soon as they got back to the city? He'd have to slip him before he had the chance. If he could get away and contact some of his old allies, he might be the very first escapee from the Pits of Hathsin.

(Thanks xD)
Theon kept his face blank. Already the wheels were turning in his head on how to get Ryder captured again. He knew he didn't have any rope or anything, and although he was a Coinshot, he didn't have any metal.

The city steadily grew nearer, and Ryder had found some miraculous new energy knowing the end was so near. As soon as they got close, he would try to slip Theon. He'd rather not have to fight him, as Ryder was half-starved and exhausted. Theon would definitely be stronger.

Theon watched the tall towers of The Lord Ruler's castle as they seemed to grow larger. He kept sucking on the stone in his mouth, but he now knew he wouldn't have to use it much longer.
(Do you want him to escape?)

(That would be preferable  And maybe Theon could be tasked with finding him again, something he's very unhappy with) |
