"Don't mention it..." Damien started to say
He turned to look at her
"I was about to say your name but realised that I don't know it. I'm sorry because that has been very rude of me. I'm Captain Damien Logan but you can call me Damien"

"I know who you are, sir. I'm Katara, I was sent here to find you and make sure you were still alive. Great job I'm doing so far, huh..." Katara said with a weak smile,

"Katara; now that name has a lovely ring to it" Damien said with a smile. "Anyway don't be so hard on yourself, we're both alive and you are new to this as well"
Damien concentrated on steering the wagon.
"Do you have food in your pack? If not there's some in mine"

"HQ told me to be prepared for any and every eventuality. So yes, there's food." Katara began rummaging around in her pack, only now realsing the fact that she hadn't eaten a thing since before she left HQ. "There's also weaponry, clothing, various potentially useful items..." She paused momentarily as her hand found the broken beacon and pulled it out, slowly. "...And this..."

Some way away, Meyla was slowly tracking the newcomers on foot. Her heightened sense of smell was helping her identify which direction they were travelling in. She had to admit, the strange female's yellow blood had a very potent aroma.
When she first saw them running from the Thalmor, her instincts told her that they needed protecting. The looks on the Thalmor's faces when her conjured black smoke dissipated and they saw that the strangers had gone, had amused her greatly. She took off in pursuit soon after, with something deep inside her telling her to keep these people safe.

Damien gently pulled the horse to a stop just outside a town signposted as being Riverwood. He climbed into the back beside Katara. He took the damaged beacon into his hands and looked at it curiously.
"I take it this is our signal to help get us home or what's left of it anyway"
He handed the beacon back over to Katara then set about re-dressing her leg with some light blue bandages from his medikit.
"They've done an exceptional job of helaing you just enough to keep you alive" Damien told her as he let his field medic training take over "Unfortunately we left before they could finish the job properly. These bandages will take maybe two to three hours to get you fighting fit again. Luckily you won't be bleeding all over the place for much longer"
Damien pulled their packs on then jumped off the wagon and offered his hand to Katara.
"The wagon will draw too much attention as we pass through here so I suggest we stop at the local tavern for the night so you can heal and we can both get something to eat then head off in the morning"

Katara nodded and took Damien's hand to help her down. She had to admit, after all this time, it was nice feeling like someone else was taking care of her for a change. "I think I can fix it, the beacon" she said as she put the beacon into one of the pouches on her belt "If I can understand how it works and make the right parts and..." she paused "...I need to take a better look inside it before I can even begin figuring out how to get it working again..."

"Patience young one; the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step" Damien said doing his best zen master voice "And that first step is a good rest for you and me"
Damien kept hold of Katara's hand as he led the way towards Riverwood. He was cautious that her leg may give out again at any point.
"By the way I thought it would be safely to appear like a young couple out on an adventure rather than two strangers" Damien explained holding up their hands

Katara regarded him with a half-smile and an inquisitive look, but nodded slowly. "I'll let you do the talking then"

Meyla followed the two strangers to a small town named Riverwood. She noticed their wagon sat just outside the town limits.
'Smart travellers', she thought to herself. Riding the wagon through this small town would get them noticed quickly. She took the opportunity to look inside it, to see if anything was left behind. But unfortunately for her, the man seemed to be very thorough.
