>She was happy to not be able to carry him around at least.
Good, I don't have to smell you next to me any more.
>Bathing was something he needed to do as well as get to a medic, she was half tempted to toss him into the water next to them to wash away the smell of grim and sweat on his body. It was even worse that she suspected it would be on her clothes now as well...
>Betrayal. Perhaps on the outside that's what this would look like. Though in truth, this would be more of a teenage rebellion.
A gilded cage is still a cage.
Babysat by my childhood friends turned personal bodyguards, not allowed to go anywhere without them next to me, can't even leave the city walls aside from returning home. That isn't the life I want for myself, I don't need to be babied by everyone around me.
>She grew up in the harsh north. If anything her life was more suited for that of a rough and tumble Astrolian then a pampering of a Terminan noble. Her restlessness and needs to be independent drove her to this.
Even my sister is too overprotective of me. She knows better the anyone how much this lifestyle is bothering me and yet...
>She knew why though; she wasn't strong enough to go out on her own alone. Not like her sister was. But that was an extremely high bar to overcomer, probably never reach that goal either.
That's why. I want to have the freedom to live as I please, and to prove to my sister I can without her having to hold my hand all the time.
>Though if she wanted to do that on her own, she could have left on her own without freeing Patrick. But she had her reasons for it.
But... fighting isn't something I'm able to do...
>Channelling her mana, all she could do was produce a snowball in her hand and a few fluttering snow flakes around her.
This, this is the best I can do with my magic. I have none of the magical talent my sister does... defending myself is difficult as best and I have been kidnapped by bandits before because of it.
That's why you're coming with me. You stood on par with my sister so you the best protection I can get.
>Mercenary Guilds in the city would be obliged to report her activities to her sister who would forbid her from going anywhere at all.
Naturally, I will pay you as well for this. But we'll have to get further south before that can actually happen. Just consider this escapes your first payment.
>Really, he should be thanking her for it!
