Sasha forced himself to move after several long minutes had passed, glaringly aware they were wasting time and needed to get moving. It wouldn't be long before the priests tracked down the only redhead in all of Schatten to this tiny inn. He ran his fingers along Stefan's spine and kissed him softly. "Come on, sweet. We need to get out of here. I don't fancy getting caught, or causing a ruckus to avoid capture. My energy is better saved for Sents."

Cheeks flushed, probably at the casual display of affection in front of Fritz, Stefan slid from his lap and stood up, settling his clothes before moving to pack their things. Fritz chuckled but said nothing, merely helped them to get everything together. In mere minutes they were ready to go. Sasha pulled his hood up over his hair and made certain it would not easily slip down. "Fritz, lead us out of town. We're headed north, to the next gate."

"We'll go through the market then," Fritz said. "That'll take us to the north end, and the old traders' entrance. We'll have to cut through an old forest path no one uses anymore. Dangerous, for it's full of Sents, but it's quick and no one will follow us."

Sasha nodded. "That's fine." He checked his weapons and after a moment pulled out his flintlocks, sliding them into the loops at the back of his belt. Fritz and Stefan both looked at him curiously, but he didn't answer the unspoken questions. "Come," he said, and started for the door.

A sudden knock upon it drew him up short. Fritz motioned him back and went to the door. Sasha saw him frown. "Can I help you, lad?"

"I'm looking for my friend," a voice replied. "The maid said he was here."

That voice. Sasha knew that voice. He saw Stefan's eyes go wide, then the young man bolted for the door, threw it open. "Killian."

"Stefan!" Killian lunged at his friend, punching him. "You left without me!"

Snarling, Stefan shoved Killian hard. Fritz shut the door and caught Killian by the back of his shirt, holding the furious boy back. Glowering, Sasha stalked forward and wrapped his hand lightly around Stefan's upper arm. He looked coolly at Killian. "What are you doing here, boy?"

"I knew you'd come here. Stefan's predictable. I knew he'd take you to Unheilvol. All I did was tell Maja I was going out to check traps and I came here. Sooner or later I knew people would notice a stupid foreigner around."

Stefan snarled. "Sasha isn't stupid. You shouldn't be here."

"Like you should!" Killian bellowed. "Enough," Fritz said, voice quiet but cutting through the room like a knife. "We have to leave. You two can bicker later."

Sasha spared a second to shoot Killian a warning look. "You will do as you're told or so help me, boy, I will truss you up and leave you for the authorities to find."

Killian opened his mouth to retort, but Sasha walked away before he could voice it. Fritz
