"You're the princess," Azura said, "Surely you can just walk through the front gates… how'd you get out? Can't you get in the same way?"
"You're the princess," Azura said, "Surely you can just walk through the front gates… how'd you get out? Can't you get in the same way?"
"We snuck out through the back, but whatever way we come in, we're gonna have my parents to deal with. So it doesn't matter all that much, I was just wondering," she answered. "I suppose I'll have to tell them the true reason I left."
"I'm sure they'll understand," Farron spoke up, "Ad if they don't they will."
“I don’t know,” she trailed off. In all honesty, she dreaded seeing her parents again, but she didn’t need the whole world to know that.
“Az, everything will be okay, I promise.” Farron flashed a soft smile.
She didn't return the smile, she only looked away. Then she spoke up again, but her words weren't really directed at anybody. "What do you think they'll say?"
Farron was quiet for a moment, "That they were worried about you but they're glad you're okay."
She laughed a tiny bit. “Ya think?”
"I do. They're your parents and any parent should worry over their kid. I wouldn't be surprised if they chain you down until your coronation." Farron smiled a little.
A laugh escaped Azura’s lips. “They either want complete control of me, or they don’t care. There’s no in between with them.”
"They love you, and they want you safe, I know that," He took Az's hand in his and squeezed, "Everything will be fine."
"I hope so," she squeezed his hand back. Her head hung low, since she was trying not to let either of them see the tear that slid down her cheek.
Farron pulled Azura into his side protectively, kissing the top of her head softly.
Her eyes glistening from tears, she wiped the ones away that were on her cheek and rested her hand on Farron’s back.
He gave her a squeeze, wishing he could do something more to help.
She forced out a smile. "Hey, look over there," she pointed to a large cluster of wild flowers. "Goodness, that's beautiful. I used to sneak out of my room sometimes to pick the ones that were outside the castle."
Farron chuckled, “I remember. I used to follow you out but didn’t want to interrupt so I just watched from a distance.”
“Really?” Her face was rosy again. “I had no idea. You were always welcome, you know.”
He used to pay attention to me?
He shrugged, "I didn't want to intrude or make you uncomfortable with me being there."
“We should go sometime when we get back to Rosgard,” she said. Then she laughed. “If we ever get there.”
“We’ll get there. Even if I have to carry you all the way we’ll get there.”
She blushed profusely. This guy was too much.
They spent the rest of the afternoon walking, taking occasional stops along the way. Andra didn’t say much the entire time.
"We should stop here for the night," Farron said, stopping by a group of trees, "It'll provide cover from the element until morning."
“Right, good idea,” Az chimed in. Before she sat her bag down, she surveyed the area. It seemed to be an alright price of flat land, they could work with that. She also wanted to sleep in a way where she could keep an eye on Andra; of course, she didn’t say that out loud. She looked over to where Andra was though, and watched the woman carefully.
Andra had moved over to Farron and was helping to unpack the things they needed. When she noticed Az looking, she glared a little.
