She frowned, not at all getting it but accepting it so she could avoid much more of a lecture. She was tired, after- she yelped as she tripped over a rock, managing to catch herself but huffing. “What are the chances you can teleport?” She guessed pretty low, but one could hope. If he couldn’t teleport, she knew she was too drained to walk for much longer. Only if I get desperate. She told herself.

After a moment she stopped and turned to him, shaking her head before speaking. “I’m sorry. I’m usually not this much of an awful person. There are many things I am due to learn in this world and perhaps it will not be so bad having you by my side, if you wish?” She meant her words, having set herself on this path by saving him. Her instincts were still insisting she ditch him but she was going to give him a chance. He knew too much to be ditched now anyways.

And you make sure you don’t die by being nice to the guy who has a weapon and us probably twice as capable when it comes to it, Kaiyora Min. Even if he doesn’t get to know your name.

She led the way down the street, her footsteps not leaving prints but small plumes of dust. “Royal, worked for royals, I have yet to see a difference myself.” She listened as he spoke of the gods, debating telling him about her own, and a couple lies would have to be in order to prevent something stupid from happening. The gods, she had found, didn’t like being spoken much of. Invoking their names was another story though.

“My family raised me to speak of the gods as if they were mortal just like ourselves. For us, there was no fate worse than a god with an ego… not that it matters now.” She kept walking, not noticing that he had ceased in his walking. Or noticing and ignoring it. One of the two. She knew he had seen the flicker, and now she had to tread carefully; at least in her mind.

Anger flickered across the girl's face. "I have every right to be wary of you, boy. You used to be a royal, for Letos' sake!" She didn't tend to use the names of gods lightly, but she invoked the name of the goddess of trickery's name willingly. She didn't seem to realize which goddess' name she had used, glaring at him. "Did I not just say the place I know is less than a day's walk from multiple cities, including this one? Resources won't be hard to acquire."

The girl's form flickered briefly from human to what could have been a cross between a human and a three-tailed fox. It reverted quickly to the form of a human but it was unmistakable. She was trying her best to control her magic but hiding as a human had exhausted her and all the shapeshifting she had done earlier was not helping her case one bit. She was terrified that if he found out what she was, he would do worse than just insult her, specifically with that dagger lurking in his pocket.

Kaiyora growled at the very concept of being carried. "I'm faster than you'd think!" She sounded utterly offended. "Come on. I'd rather not get killed dilly dallying," she turned and easily scrambled up to the road, using the branches that had come down into the ditch as a step stool. She waited for him on the road, her eyes darting every which way. She had every intention to question him once they started on their way. Better than walking in silence or her making a mistake that cost her. And find out if he knows what I am. Priorities. She told herself.

She growled slightly. Not at all happy about this. "Fine. I will go with you. But I'm not protecting you if there's trouble." She probably would protect him, but she was going to say that anyway.

Damnit, Kaiyora. You're trusting it too easily. Stop being pathetic! She snapped internally. She didn't want to trust him but he was pretty nice, and her life was probably on the line by now. She still couldn't be sure if he knew what she was or not, and that concerned her. Stop. Stop trusting this man! You don’t even know if he knows! Or if he does, what does he think! Or what he thinks you are if he doesn’t! She gave an involuntary growl at her thoughts. She was going to have to trust “Rain” if she wanted to live.

She paused for a moment, hating herself for what she said next. "I know a place we can go. If... if it's still there, that is. It's an old place." She scanned the area, checking for any signs of danger. Nothing- nothing she could see, that is. "It's pretty secluded but not a day's walk from a few different cities."

She gave him a look. "You're almost as transparent as glass, but I'll pretend I can't see through you for your own sake." She huffed, ignoring his hand. "I'm Kate." The lie slipped off her tongue easily, Kate being an alias she used regularly when she wasn't sure if somebody knew what species she was or not. Even if he knew, it wasn't her problem until it became her problem. So he was a guard, connected to the royals... I don't need him... he could be helpful? I don't need him! He would be helpful. Sell him out in a bind... She tried to keep her expression neutral but her thoughts were somewhat readable.

I mean she's pretty weak when it comes to fighting but that doesn't mean she won't try to get the childish treatment to stop since it upsets her. She's technically 140-something years old but I feel like that's unrelated.

I might be hopping off for a few hours just to do some things, but I'll get to responding before I leave and right away when I get back!
