The Tangle it is what it is til it ain't anymore

Even as a princess her life wasn't necessarily easy, but there had been more security than they faced now. Saoirse knew that she should pay more attention, be more concerned with their plan for now, but she felt...empty. They had left behind everything they'd ever known, and she couldn't regret it--not really. Not when the alternative was a life of pain cut short far too soon. She knew it wasn't regret that she felt.

Except, perhaps it was. Saoirse couldn't think on their situation for long before her mind turned to her mother, to her sisters, all of whom were destined for a similar fate. None of them had run--her sisters likely wouldn't be allowed to follow her example, later, and her mother...well.

Saoirse couldn't think about it without wanting to turn back, and so she didn't. She firmly ignored the niggling doubts in the back of her mind, but she couldn't focus enough on the here and now to plan any further. If it weren't for Shige, she would never have gotten this far.

She's relieved when he takes charge, giving him a nod and swaying somewhat into his space before she moved away again--a hug, or the closest she had ever gotten in front of her parents. It was hard to remember she didn't have to worry about that anymore. Ah, that sounds good. It's probably a bad idea to hunt in this...place.

She looks up to the sky again, at the quickly fading colors of day, and tries to pick out any sign of impending storm. The last thing they need is for the land to become more treacherous. Probably for the best, yes. I'll follow your steps.
