(( Questioning the physics of that...but whatever ))
She tied the reins to a nearby tree, making sure that the horses had some grass to eat under the tree. She sat down next to another tree and waited for him. After a couple minutes, she noticed some soldiers traveling down the road toward there and the horses. She stood up and nodded when they trotted up.
"Hello there, Miss." The lead soldier said, the other three fanning out around her. "What is a lone woman doing out here in the wilderness alone?" He asked curiously, not sounding sexual or anything besides curious.
"I am not alone...my...uhh, husband, is out there. He is taking a bathroom break. We have been riding all day, and his bladder couldn't handle it." She quickly spun out, trying hard to keep her disguise up. She hoped he would arrive soon, or else she was going to get in trouble.
The leader nodded and then looked to the horses, seeing that the one Nathan had ridden was bleeding. "Hmmm, how did that horse get injured?" He asked, turning a very curious gaze over her, noting some dried blood in her hair.
"He, uhhh, got attacked by a wolf...and we fought the animal off. The injury didn't seem bad..so we kept riding." She backed up a little, feeling a primal urge to tear into them starting to swirl inside her.
"A wolf you say? We have had reports of a pack of...lycans...in the area. They can take the form of a wolf easily enough...perhaps you were attacked by one.... I see blood on you..were you injured at all? Even a bite is enough..." The soldiers all looked at her and rested their hands on their silvered weapons.
"No no no, I wasn't bitten!" She shook her head quickly, perhaps too much. She wished Nathan would hurry up...she needed more deception. "I said we fought it off...it didn't a single hit in."
