⁰⁰⁰/⌬ ˚ ༘ @lotusgore: i don't plan to run off & leave, if that's what you're thinking. [ webbed fingers are clinging to the hilt of the sword, partially ignoring his words as shinju continued walking onward, beady eyes shifting from here to there in order to make out what was beyond the trees of the forest. so far all she'd been able to detect were blue skies & cumulus clouds, but she knew better than to think that anyone from her clan (foolish enough to begin searching for her, OR HIM, for that matter. --- they'd wonder why someone from such a prestigious family was wandering around/trailing behind the likes of a banished piscemorph,) wasn't hidden somewhere amongst them. ] there's not many places i /can/ go, from here on out. ( . . . ) you shouldn't make a habit of following me. i doubt the bai clan would be pleased about their son being accompanied by someone who has lost her family name. i will return your sword after i reach the ends of this forest, so there is no need to fret over it.
