Darren walked out of the bar, beginning to try to find some way out of the town. That woman, Lisette, had clearly gone off to do business of her own, so Darren thought that maybe, just maybe, he could get away from her. But, it wasn't to be. When he walked out into the street, Lisette was there, apparently looking for him.
"Darren!" she yelled angrily. "Where are those gems?"
"What, the fake ones that you had on you for gods-know-what? I sold 'em. Got a nice pouch of coins for 'em too, some noble traveler. Man, he was stupid."
"Don't dodge the subject!" she interrupted. "How did you get them?"
"Stole 'em. How else?" The whole time, Darren was acting calm, keeping a cool head and remaining casual. And, at least apparently, it was pissing Lisette off. But she seemed now not to be saying anything, so Darren began to walk out of the town, when suddenly, he remembered something. Slapping his forehead, he muttered,
"My horse!"
"What?" Lisette asked.
"I left my horse back in the woods. Hopefully no wolves or anything tried to eat it. Dammit, so stupid..."
"Please don't tell me we're going all the way back to get it..."
"She's my best horse, Lisette, and I've had her for a while. I'm getting her back, so if you want to stay with me, you're coming too." With that, Darren began to walk out of the town, back to his former campsite, not paying attention to whether Lisette was following or not.
