Katahnia chewed on the inside of her mouth angrily. She had a sneaking suspicion he was as stubborn as she. But she couldn't just let the fact rest he was here to hurt somebody, and probably, by her presumptions, someone that might not have deserved it. Though she wasn't ignorant to the questionable moral character of some mages, it was hard to get past the idea that everyone just believed they were wrong. And like rats, they wished to irradiate them in any means necessary.

Their escape from the building was surprisingly easy. The soldiers and guards that had been chasing them seemed to be elsewhere, or had dispersed. She found it hard to believe they'd give up chase, however, it still did little to alleviate her anxiety.
Once outside, the pair found themselves in a back alley, near a small alcove that housed a well between a series of other tall houses. Most of the building lights were out, and it seemed even the street lamp had since been extinguished. She took a moment to move over towards the well, peering down at it and smelling the fresh water within.
"What I wouldnt' give for a drink," she sighed, but knew the consequences of making that much noise... it would draw more attention and that's the last thing she wanted.
