A small carriage rolled slowly along the dirt road under the cold night sky. The wheels creaked, and the lantern hanging at the side swayed with each bump. Inside, a girl lay curled up in the corner, her body pressed tight as if trying to take up less space. Outside, two men walked beside the carriage with lazy steps. Their armor straps hung loose, and both of them were yawning again and again.
"Our task is just to drop her there and leave right.." one of them asked, scratching his neck.
"Yes!"
"Just drop her and leave. That's what we were paid for.."
The other man stretched his arms and rolled his shoulders.
"The lady inside looks beautiful. Should we tease her."
"I don't think there would be consequences. After all she was thrown a piece of garbage from Halcrest."
"Shut up idiots. Don't you know whom she belongs to."
"Do you want to die..."
Their voices lowered after that, but their eyes still drifted toward the carriage from time to time.
