Essecdhon dismounts his borrowed steed behind the rock as Eadegwen does the same. "Why are we all the way out here, what could you not tell me in the tavern." He watches as the blonde gives him a look. "Alright. I didn't want you to continue speaking about the horse because you know as well as I that I do not need the trouble." she shakes her head and he pauses as he watches her. "I know, why do you think you are out here?" The man sighs and nods. "I don't need the trouble because my name isn't 'Red' it is 'Essecdhon'." He sees Eade tense up and tenses up himself. "I knew that but I didn't expect you to be the exile." She begins to shake horribly. "I knew you were from Rohan. The hair color and the accent told me that but I didn't think that was who you are." He watches her draw her knife. "You are a murderer! How can I believe you anymore!" The Rohirric man takes a step back towards his horse. "Hold on now! It was in self-defense! I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't needed to!"
His eyes follow her as she beings to pace back and forth still shaking heavily, knife in hand. "You are just like him!" The accused man grabs the reins of his horse in one hand and the saddle back with the other. "He had killed my mother! You have to understand he would have killed me as well!" The redhead watches her shake her head. "You are a murderer!" Ess quickly pulls himself up onto the back of the horse before kicking its flanks heavily causing it to bolt forward. "It was self-defense!" He hears her mount her own horse and take off after him. Her steed was in far better condition and used to long runs, something he noticed the first time he saw it. He hears her call out, nudging it forward, her eye on the man trying to run which Ess caught as he looks back. He holds onto his mount as it gallops at a rather quick pace towards a larger farm. The heavy mount wasn't built for speed but rather for carrying big game animals. The man watches as she continues to chase him before looking for a way to cut him off. He doesn't notice as she sees a turn and expecting him to take it she nudges her horse towards the end of the turn. He doesn't see her move past him either. The foolish and scared man takes the turn as she expects and as he tries to race past her she kicks out trying to knock him from the back of the mount. Her foot hits him in the side and Esse hits the ground heavily. "You killed a man!" He looks at her in surprise as she dismounts. "It was in self-defense! He stabbed my mother over and over and over. I would have been next." He tries to get up until Ead presses a boot heavily onto his chest. "You killed someone!"
Ess looks at her in shock. "He killed my mother for having the gal to raise a child rather than just being a paid consort. He felt she ruined his bloodline!"She presses down hard as he struggles to get up causing him to have a bit of trouble breathing. "You ruined everything!" The redhead tries to throw her off again before she kneels down suddenly and grabs his hand, driving a knife through it and into the ground. He stares in shock as she just looks on as he lets out a rather loud pained cry. "You killed my uncle. He was the only father I had!" Esse tries to throw her off again if he can. "I don't care who he was! He killed my mother and he would have gotten away with it." She grabs his other hand and drives a knife through it as well, not caring as he cried out. "No!" she cries out.
Ess tries to throw her off before the weight on his chest starts to make him pass out. "Eilonwy.." He calls out before passing out. A hand comes down across his cheek with loud sound following. He doesn't stir much until the weight on his chest moves. "What is Eilonwy?" comes the anger filled question. "What does it mean!" Another slap lands across his face. "My mother..." He grumbles out. "She was my mother." He opens his eyes to see her pacing before a kick comes to his ribs. "You caused everything!" He winces and watches her pace more. "You are the cause of my mother's death!" He shakes his head. "No." She looks at him. "My father carved her name into my skin after he killed my mother! " He shakes his head which only got him another boot to the side. The Rohirric begins to pass out again this time not waking up to the hands slapping his face or the knives being removed and a symbol being carved into his hand.
Later on, he wakes up in a farmhouse with his hands in bandages. He looks around and notices no one is in there at the moment. He grabs his boots and pulls them on before moving to the door. He peeks outside before moving out towards the stable area when he doesn't see anyone around. He opens the first stall and walks in with a bridle and gets it onto the horse after a couple of nips. Ess leads it into the farmyard and mounts it before nudging it into a canter towards Bree.
