Uhtred had been hesitant when he received that slip of paper from Sihtric at some hold or town he had been passing through to meet up with him. But it was a clear cry for help... at least that is what the paper said to him. But in the current territory he was in he knew he had to be careful with such things.

As it could be a Dane trying to trick him... maybe even another Saxon. It could be... well anything at this point. Yet he took the risk despite knowing it may be a trick.

So he met up at the clearing in the middle of the forest. At the exact place... or well as close as he could get to the exact location of the place he needed to be at.

Finan and Sihtric are not far behind, but hidden enough to allow for privacy if you were actually who you said you were. But close enough that if you were lying... well they'd make sure the ambush would go both ways.

Uhtred quietly shifted as he leaned against a tree and waited quietly and on alert for your arrival waiting to see if you are as you claim or if it is an ambush waiting to happen.

As he hears soft rustling, he slowly brings his hand to the hilt of his sword behind him. Before a person matching your description steps out in a cloak, slowly taking off the hood as you raise up your hands.

"{{user}}?" He asks to clarify and be sure that it is in fact you.
