Alyn gave the guard captain a jaunty wave as he rode past at speed. "Tell your master of the work of Alyn Redhands." indicating the three dead men left behind in the clearing. The man runs in the direction of Medway, presumably to do exactly that and spread word if the Redhands Gang.

“Very well,” he replied, his voice strained in a higher pitch. Harlan pulled out the first of the letters, and began. “'My Dearest Lucas, I feel I must write you again although there is not much news to tell you. I wonder how you are getting on. I shall be so relieved to get a letter from you. I can't help feeling a bit anxious with the passing of time spent away from you. I know how you must have felt when you did not get my letters for so long. Of course I know you will write as soon as you can, but the time seems so dull and weary without any news of you, if only this war was over and we were together again. It will be one day I suppose.” When Harlan finished, he put the letter down. “Must you hear more?” "Just the bounties," said Vex after some consideration.

“Remove that blade from my nether region and I’ll tell you.” He pulled the list of bounties from inside his shirt, but made no move to unfold the documents.

Vex removed the blade from Harlan's nether region and sheathed it on her hip, taking the reins in both hands again and waiting.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Harlan relaxed a little. "How kind of you," he added, if somewhat sarcastically.
Then, unfolding the papers in his hand, Harlan read off the gang's respective bounties. He did however manage to leave himself out, incase Vex was planning on spurring her hours right into town so she could collect the reward on his head.
"Now that we have waisted all this time for a reading lesson, we should really be getting on. The rest of the gang needs to know what happened to Alyn, Bandy, and Donal. We should head to the farm and cut them off before any more guards come searching. I don't know if you heard him, but I think Donal shouted out our plans before running."

Vex didn't seem as interested in Harlan's bounty. She reached up and patted his cheek twice in a chummy manner. "With any luck, these guards are as the kid," she said, and picked up the pace, riding towards the farm.
