The rising sun finds Louisa Marc awake and hungry. She had been doing her best to keep her head down since last night - could those idiot revolutionaries just stop antagonizing the army already? It just meant more patrols, which was the opposite of what she wanted. She had been forced to forgo dinner last night, keeping vigil here in the alley. Her sleep had been light and brief, constantly disturbed by the sounds of passerby. The whole thing had melded into one hazy, uneasy dream. Still, she had made it through the night.
Louisa stands, muscles screaming as they stretch for the first time in hours. She hobbles about the alley, glad nobody can see her sorry self as she nurses her muscles back into working order. The process is slow, punctuated by annoyed mutterings as she laments her situation. Finally she retrieves her rapier and musket from where they leaned against the wall, slinging the rifle over her shoulder and hanging the sword from her waist as she steps from the alleyway. It was time to address the gnawing hunger in her stomach, soldiers are no.
She pulls the floppy brim of her hat low over her face, doing her best not to look too jumpy as she walks down the street. She just needed some bread, then she could retreat to somewhere less conspicuous. That wasn’t so much to ask, was it?
Not looking where he was going, Hans accidentally bumps into her. “Oh, sorry.” He says as he looks in her direction. “Didn’t mean to bump into you.”
