Neve looked ahead, her eyes closing briefly as she took in the cold air on her face and in her hair. She felt tthe cold sting and enjoyed it, for a moment feeling as though she belonged in this tundra, in the cold and snow. She opened her eyes and briefly the wind seemed to be calling her back. Telling her to turn around and head back to the mountains. She frowned, eyes flicking around her when she saw Atrious's horse stop.
Her own horse skittered beside his, pawing the ground nervously.
"I don't like leaving the road. Ramma always said it's dangerous to leave paths..." She said with a tense. But the horse refused to go forward so she sighed. "Alright...off the road, but keep sharp. LAte night leads to trouble." She said subconciously reaching for her bow.

When she reached for her now his eyes went wide," are we really going to need that?" He asked by how she sounded like they would instead of might run into trouble. He reached a hand behind him and into his robe grabbing a mana vial in case he needed it. He was terrified that if they of attacked he was going to be useless- he wasn't one for wild life.

Neve realized what she had done and quickly her hand withdrew with a bit of an apologetic frown. "Sorry, it's a bit of a forced habbit..." She said easing the stress level a bit. It was probably nothing, but at the same time it could be something big. Whatever was going on she would make sure they were okay as they could be. "As long as we avoid too many detours we'll be fine." She said then offered him a funny look. "I didn't mean to scare you." She was trying to calm the situation, since it would be better if he was calm. She couldn't deal with him fumbling or getting in trouble. She tugged the reigns in one direction where she saw a break in the rocks, keeping the horses head up and alert just incase.

He sighed looking at her with a bit of relief," now I feel like a child being coddled after a scary story... Thanks." He said after wards with some sarcasm. He sighed and followed her keeping a good lol about. After a few minutes, some birds flew from the brush and left the area- the air getting still and everything was silent. He froze in an instant and too a deep breath as he cast his eyes about. When a movement caught his eye he quickly muttered a conjure and summoned up an atronach and hoped it would hold to help Neve. ((Its a frost troll so ya know))

Neve slammed her horse to a halt at the movement. The animal whinnying loudly as it reared. She looked down the snowy path way to see a large white mass hobbling towards the atronach Atrious had conjured. It looked like an ape to be honest but upon looking she saw it had three eyes. She winced at its gruesome face since she had never seen anything quite that ugly, only heard about them.
She drew an arrow aiming high with it so it would stick better into the monsters back. She watched the glass arrow soar through the air and hit the beast, a roar of pain coming from the best as it fixed its eyes on Neve. She blinked, very lost as to why that hadn't at least slowed the creature. It barrelled towards her and she had to dive off her horse and into the snow to avoid it. She took aim again this time focusing on its head before letting an arrow fly. It struck its third eye, making black blood poor from it and the creature roar and scramble for a bit. She thought she had it down till it lashed out, knocking her clear off her feet and into a snow bank with a swing of its arms. She shot up out of the snow, gripping her side as she felt to see if anything was broken. Nothing broken just a bruise and a ache. "Atrious that thing is tough, stay away from it." She called out, watching the thing tear at its face to get the arrow out.

Atrious watched the play as it advanced and attacked Neve and he scowled, hearing her warning he nodded his face serious now. He sent the Atrinoch after the troll and told it to distract it- draw it away if possible. He downed about three vials of things to extend his mana and the other two to up his skills. He was scared but not overly that he hadn't been in a place like this before. He glanced over at Neve motioning her to either come closer to him or to get down. The atronach did its best to hurl balls of fire in its face as it screeched at it in heated anger- chasing it a bit before it completely vanished- only to hear the loud fizzle sound of the troll dispersing the spell.

Neve shot Atrious a look when he motioned for her to go near him. What the hell could he do in this situation? The thing was a brute that even took down his Atronach. Grouping together in one placed wasn't going to help them just make it easier to kill them. Her attention jerked in the direction of the creature when it roared and yanked the arrow out of its eye.
Neve was horrified, especially when she found the eye slowly reforming. "The thing is healing..." She said looking it over again. All her cuts she had made were gone but the burns still lingered...
She jumped when it snarled and whirled on them, running at them with flailing arms to make it more menacing.

((Something with fire))
The troll fell over a singed piece of charcoal mess leaving Neve looking winded. She hadn't anticipated fire to be its weakness but lucky they had an ample supply of magic from Atrious to really deal with it. She wiped a bit of ash from her face as she walked over and yanked the arrow from the ground. It was slightly bent but she could fix it soon. "See. I told you. roads are good." She grumbled trudging through the snow back to her horse.

Atrious was sure to stay on his horse while Neve found hers- the troll on the ground dead- burnt in places its meant smelt rancid. He headed back towards the road and the horse was more then happy to get the hell out of there. Heading down the road a bit more at the stream they couldn't see the Troll any longer and he was calmer only his Horse refused to drink and continued on ignoring him- he finally gave up with a slight exasperated sound," Dumb horse won't listen to me..." It was more of a joke since he could control the horse but ti didn't want to listen. It was stubborn and inattentive.

Neve nursed her arrow when the stopped, using the stream to help her clean them and make them not smell of charred troll. She noticed the exchange with his horse and smirked, trying not to laugh aloud when the horse all but turned from him.
"Well it's probably made because you called it dumb." She said playfully though she was sure the horse was mad about being put in harms way yet aagain. It seemed to be sangerous traveling for them always.
"Jeesh this one is still bent." She grumbled as she tried to bend the arrow back. She saw it wasn't going to work without a proper smithing table, which made her feel a bit sad that a gift she had gotten had gotten damaged already, even if it was just one.
"Well at least we got to learn what some of the wildlife up here is. And that they don't like fire..." She said still unable to get the smoke smell out of her nose.

Smirking he agreed with her about the wild life. " most are ice dwellers, so fire is only natural to be their enemies. And the horse is dumb..." He mutter more for the horse since he found it dumb any now since it didn't liven to him. They continuted on the road till they hit a town where they got rooms- it was small but it was do able.

Neve went to her room and quickly unpacked her things. She hid Atrious's secret items away, in a place he would have to be looking to find them. She went down stairs for dinner and actually waited this time for Atrious before she ate.
"So, anywhere is particular you want to visit on the way back?" She asked, hoping he woudl have some idea.

He sighed as he saw that Neve waited for him to come down for dinner. He took a seat next to her and smile ordering a lot of food. He knew she would eat the stuff he couldn't. "Well, we could sight see or we could stay on the path and just take the scenic routes. What do you have in mind? Besides passing up Windhelm-elf hating scum... They only want Nords about- its pathetic..." He said hoping she agree or at least knew that much- he did since he had learned from travelers coming threw the college and the like.

Neve felt her stomach growl as the smell of food got floated to her. She had to admit she was pretty hungry after the fight with that big troll. It took alot out of her to actually be scared of a creature.
As Atrious spoke of the plan, since he was the one that planned more than she did, she tugged at her hair, twisting a strand around her finger. She paused when he mentioned Windhelm and frowned. "That bad huh? If I remember correctly Ramma's caravan avoided that area. Bad business aparently." She said, just thinking about a place that she hadn't seen yet though made her slightly curious.
The elf haters part though wasn't much of a draw to the place. "I see, we'll avoid it then. But only if you're alright with stopping in Riften. I have some loose ends to tie up..." She said eyes narrowing briefly. Damn thieves guild still owed her a nice sum for her sur charge of almost being imprissoned. So much for having the guard under their belt....
