It was late at night when Aeruthuil made his way through the woods near Towerglan. It was a calm night, one you wouldn't remember because it was so much like any other night.
The stars were out, not brighter than usual, but they were there. It was quiet around him as Aeruthuil strolled around, hearing only himself and the critters shooting away from him through dense ticket. Suddenly quickened steps clacked on cobbles laid out as a small road further up.
Aeruthuil looks up and he tries to locate the sound, then makes his way over towards the footfalls. He blinks as he notices a familiar face walking down the road, quickly he hops down the hill and runs towards her, ''My Lady!'' he called out to her, causing her to almost jump from fright. He stares at her as she speaks to him, she seemed different to him and was clutching something close to her chest, ''Who calls?'' She had called back. Aeruthuil looks her up and down, noticing her tense demeanor as she stepped around him. She had been running from something, what he didn't know. She was frightened, confused, alone and on foot.
''It's Aeruthuil, My Lady..-The one you've met not long ago, you mended my clothes. What are you running from?'' He looks away from her towards the road she had come from, his fingers lightly touching the hilt of his sword.
Sareva stammered, her voice fading. "There was this...I'm not.....just....I just need to get home..." she nearly whispered, clearly at the end of her ability to cope. Aeruthuil chewed his lip and pulled his hand away from his sword, ''I can help you..-Do you want me to walk you home? Anywhere?'' He had asked her as he stepped closer.
"Home, to home, but it'll be dark by the time I get there but it's closed with locks yet I doubt it would stop, couldn't stop, and what if-" She rambles without sentence structure.
The woman interrupts her own words and holds her breath for several seconds before releasing it slowly. "I just need to...I don't know now."
He didn't know what else to do but make sure she was safe before asking questions more than he already had. She had been too startled and frightened to even complete a sentence, let alone tell him what had happened to her. She was afraid to even go back home, even when she really wanted to. Aeruthuil shook his head to her, the least he could do for the woman so kind to him was to offer her another safe haven for the night.
He offered her to follow his lead, leading her away from the path almost haunting to her and away from the path to her home.
It had been clear to him then, this Tailor had seen too much.
