((Sorry sorry!
Re: corrupt government etc: I thought you meant the Captain of the Guard and the government are evil, and Taerid is working for the CotG. Does that sound right, or...?
This is all going to be in present tense because screnzy has ruined my brain forever. Again sorry. Ignore the tense if it bothers you. :/ ))
//Shay//
Taerid picks up her knapsack and begins walking, his stride long and quick. Shay has to make an effort to keep up, especially with the overgrown leaves and roots. Finally, hot and annoyed, she calls out to Taerid, a good bit ahead of her.
"For heaven's sake, can you slow down? Where are we even going? Bring back my knapsack!"
Taerid's laugh floats back to her through the foliage. "Calm down," his voice calls back to her. "You're too uptight."
Shay frowns, annoyed. Here was a strange boy who stole her belongings, said peculiar things about the government and scorned Flightschool, and then expected her to follow him through a maze of wild forest to God knows where. Hadn't she earned the right to be a little uptight?
Suddenly the sound of Taerid stomping through the undergrowth ceases and even from the way back Shay can hear his intake of breath. His voice, with abrupt sharpness, says, "Shay. Stop and freeze where you are. Don't say anything."

((um... someone's following them? there's a rare species of wild animal around and it will eat them? I dunno... you choose something. :) ))
