"So am I but okay. Stand there and turn around, or go wait with your horse."

Willow smirked, from what Masalee had said earlier she was quite a good thief so this should be fun to watch.

Masalee disappears into the crowd, and although Willow is watching carefully, she doesn't actually see Masalee steal anything. She comes back with a handful of loose change and a few valuable-looking items of jewelry.

"Nice, that should be enough, you need to teach me how to do that sometime"

"Yeah, sure. I guess I'll be getting much more in touch with the skills of my past from now on." They go and buy supplies.

After buying food, bargained for a cheaper price, they start to leave, not wanting to be in the same place for too long. Willow debates when to tell Masalee of her encounter with Nathaniel. She ends up telling her before she finds out in a different way.
"You know when I went to get more rope, back when we found Cert? Well i had a bit of an… encounter in the town."

"Oh? What happened?"

"I may or may not have gotten into a fight."

"Are there people from this encounter added to the list of those we're running from?"
(I'm so sorry I haven't been active recently!)

"Yeah, yeah there is, I'm pretty sure."
(Dont worry about it)

"Okay then. It's probably a good thing Cert's sticking around then. We'll need the fighting power until we can leave the country. Where will we go?"

"After we leave? I've got some people outside who owe me some favours. I can get them to help out at the start, and once we're confident we're not being followed. We can go pretty much anywhere."

"Anywhere? Wow! I've never traveled far from here before; I can't wait! Willow, if we're going anywhere, where do you want to go?"

(are we doing made up names or is this based on our earth, ill just make this made up but can change if its real)
"I've always wanted to go to Lethionia so I think that'll be pretty fun. What about you?"

(Whatever works for you. It'd be interesting to have a mix of both) "I don't know. Maybe Texas? I want to see everything, starting with Lethionia!"

(Sure)
"Definitely, we just need to get your aunt, a boat and take precaution to not be tracked. Should be simple."

"I know where we can get my aunt but where a boat?"

"And do you know how they're tracking us?"

"We could try to find one at the port, if we can't we could see if anyone would let us ride with them and we can try again else where. As for how they're tracking us, they could be simply following us or use in a complex spell that shows them where we are on a map."

"So, magicky-magic person. Any spells to stop them?"

"Killing tends to stop spells, especially tracking spells since then there's no one to do the tracking," Willow looked over to Max, who was walking beside her, "I could send Max after them."

"Oh! No need! I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but she gave me a key, said something about it being my prison. That's probably how they're tracking us." Masalee finds the key, but does not hand it over.

"Should probably get rid of it then," Willow looked at the key, seeing how Masalee holds it she suspects she doesn't want to throw it away.

"Yeah, probably." She makes no move to let go.

"Do you want me to do it? Or are you good to do it yourself?"

"I'm trying to let go, but I can't for some reason. Try and take it"

"Alright," Willow reached out, and tried to take it.

Easily, Willow took the key from Masalee. When she tried to drop it, she couldn't.

"Oh, you can't physically drop it, I see," she contemplateda few options, "what do you think would happen if i tried to eat it?"

"It's old and sharpish and sorta rusty. I can't see how that would end well. Here. What if I…?" Masalee tried to grab the key from Willow with two sticks, but the key wouldn't budge.
