Rin's eyes widened at the sight of the swords, but she looked more interested than scared. "Maybe for that exact reason, because we're all outlaws."

Dabria shook her head. "You're going to have to do better than that. My grandfather's assassin is an outlaw, but I wouldn't trust them for a second. Also, remember that you can't lie to me without getting caught."

"Yes, you've made that pretty clear. As for the reasons for trust?" Rin thought for a second. "None that would really have much significance to you. But! I haven't done anything for you to lose trust." She used her good arm to point at the woman's swords. "Plus, it looks like even if I did, I'd be dead before I could draw my own blade."

Dabria thought for a moment before responding. "You're not wrong." She motioned for the knights and Kai to come forward before turning to Cassidy. "So this cave? Also, are you trying to steal my look?" She asked, gesturing at Cassidy's braided hair and her own.

(Oops sorry, replied at the same time. Fixed it)
Cassidy flushed. "Um, no. It's called having wet hair and not wanting it to dry in a mess. I don't normally braid my hair actually, I almost forgot how. Besides," she added, "if you wore your hair down should I consider that you trying to steal my look? Anyways, yes, the cave is safe, we should all go in."

Rin watched them interact curiously, and blinked at the arrival of more knights. Wonder what they're all hiding from. Her hand, the one attached to her injured arm, moved to rest on the hilt of her blade, but she winced, quickly stopping.

Cassidy glanced at Rin, who was shifting uncomfortably, like she was in pain. She glanced at Rins arm, which seemed a little out of shape. She frowned. She knew a dislocated shoulder when she saw one. She had to tend to at least one a week due to bar fights. "You alright?" she asked curiously, knowing that dislocated shoulders were extremely painful and that it must be taking a lot of willpower to stop from screaming. Or another kind of power.

Rin blinked. "Yup. Totally. Why do you ask?" Lying while in pain was harder than she'd have liked, so it was fairly obvious that she was not, in fact, fine.

Cassidy crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, looking at Rin in amusement. "If you clench your teeth any more you'll hurt your jaw, and you keep wincing every ten seconds." She jerked her head in the direction of the cave. "Come on, I can fix you up." She turned to Dabria. "You can deal with your knights and give them orders or whatever, I'm going to find a good spot to camp. The ground is soft, so you can follow us easily." she turned on her heel without waiting for a response from either of them and walked down into the entrance of the cave, slowly descending into the dark.

Rin stood, shocked, for a few moments before following the woman, careful not to move her shoulder. Tyche raced ahead, staying close to the woman and just in Rin's line of sight as she caught up. They're all so weird. This is either a horrible mistake or a great benefit.

Cassidy heard Rin follow her down the tunnel, and so she slowed down a bit. The light was dim, with only small cracks from far above providing light, and though she knew these caves like the back of her hand from when she was younger, she didn't want Rin injuring herself by tripping on an outcropping or a boulder. After a few minutes, they reached a small cavern a bit smaller than the main interior of her tavern. "Here we are," she said. "Now if I could just find it…" she crossed the cave and began feeling along the wall.

"Find what?" Rin asked, moving easily through the cavern as she looked around. She felt the smallest bit trapped, but she couldn't exactly afford to be too picky right now. Tyche stuck near the woman who had led her down here, a bit curiously.

Cassidy bent down in the dark near the far side of the cave, reaching out and feeling her way along the wall. "I left some supplies here when I was a kid. I used to hide out here, from my….." Her hand went into the stone wall as her hand passed a shelf-like indent in the rock. "Found it!" She reached in eagerly, and ignoring the spider webs, and pulled out a large bundle wrapped in sackcloth. She sat down, making sure to avoid sitting on the cat, and dumped the contents onto the floor. Feeling around, she quickly built up a small pyramid shape with the materials and pushed the other stuff from the sackcloth to the side. She took the flint from her pocket and struck it a few times. It took a minute, but soon a flame burst into the small pile, illuminating the whole cavern. "Got it!" she said triumphantly.

Rin looked startled by the sudden light, and had to blink to adjust her eyes to it. The dark is so much better. "Hiding from who? That's a lot of supplies." She made her way over and crouched, an odd distance from the flames.

Cassidy shrugged. "My mom. She used to get mad at me for not doing what I was supposed to, like not working hard enough, or not cleaning her stuff good, and well… her mad involved throwing things." She turned back to the supplies in a pile. "My cousin gave me the kindling," she said, nodding to the flames. "They're enchanted mushrooms. They'll burn pretty much indefinitely so long as they don't get wet. They don't give off smoke either."

Dabria followed behind the thief into the cave and crouched beside the fire. She gave a small hum in response to Cassidy's story about her mom. "Hey," She said. "I think it's a great time to actually sit and talk about who we are and what we're all doing here. And all the boys can go tie the horses up while we talk. We can start with our names." The princess looked at the woman sitting a strange distance from the fire.

((Aaaaa. It happens, let me just

Rin grinned up at the woman with the swords. "Call me Rin. How 'bout a name from you, gorgeous?" Here's to hoping she doesn't decide to kill me right here and now, heh.

Cassidy rolled her eyes, a smile taking over her face as she leaned back on the cave wall. I like her already, Cassidy thought to herself. Very open and fun. This'll make for an interesting night.

((She plays for all the teams. If you're hot, she's into you. Definitely does have a slight tendency towards women more though.

Dabria leaned forward and propped her chin on her palm, a smile pulling at the corners of her mouth. "My full title would be Princess Dabria Ilaria Eira of Hiyaup, but most people just call me Dabria or your highness or something like that. The reason I am here is because my best friend, Kai, has a brother who is trying to kill him in order to become King of Lealio, so he ran away from the castle, and I followed him with a few knights."

Dabria's initials are DIE and that is very intentional))

Rin squinted at her for a second, studying her, before nodding. "Checks out. Y'all got yourselves in one hell of a mess, huh?" Wow okay, hitting on a princess is one hell of a twist.

((I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Cassidy gave a little cough to remind the other two she was still in the cave. "Right, well, can we get a little context on why you're here Rin? Context for context?"

((I LOVE HER SO MUCH
