[b]Andreios had been dozing off the past few hours and then was suddenly assaulted with a thermos of some sort of drink. He flinched and almost dropped the thing. He grumbled something to himself as he examined the contents. Tea. "Thank you Lady Ava. I appreciate the gesture, but next time try not to attack me with gift." He drank the contents rather quickly, enjoying the warm hot substance. While he had been standing out here he was contemplating what he should do. The mother wanted her child safe, but she wanted him to ensure it and he was sure it wasn't possible. Yes, it occurred to him that he could take her and run but that brought up a few problems. One, Ava wouldn't want to leave her father. She made it very clear on multiple occasions, that she loved him. Two, even if Ava wanted to leave, the two of them would be hunted for the rest of their lives. He was used to life as the hunted, he spent four years as a run away slave. He simply didn't want that life for Ava. She needed a calm life, a place where she could settle and be happy. Such a reality was hard to come by when one is hunted.

"Alright. Lets go then before it gets dark. I wouldn't want your father to worry." When speaking of his master, his words took a slight bitter tone, even disguested as he uttered the word 'father' for he was no father of hers or anyone. He was a beast, a monster, that he still dreamed of killing.[/b]
