"I don't like him." Aaly told Iris as she was packing up her horse with the last of her things.
"And you think that we do?"
"I don't mean that I don't like him it's just... I don't trust him, he's hiding something, something big."
She let out a little chuckle, "Clever girl."
"Hmm?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Oh."
Aaly bit her lip as she watched the remainder of the camp being stowed away into the bags on the horses. She wasn't quite sure what they where going to do with her when they left but she assumed that they might take her with. Though why she had no idea. Mira hadn't corrected her when she had said "we" and just immediately answered her question. Though they hadn't asked her opinion in the whole thing she knew that she couldn't just stay here, in the forest, all alone, forever. And this was why she left right? To see the world, and it wasn't like there where any doctors in Zyden that wouldn't eventually let the story slip. And eventually that story would get to the king. And it wasn't like she had any way to pay for said doctor. And most of Zyden's people worked in mines and it was no secret that Aaly wouldn't be able to do that. So were ever they where going, be it Lidia or Anatali, it would be better than staying here.
Anything would be better than going back to that little room.
Anything.
