[Neferti- No, Cleo, now- had been running for a long time. Hours, at least. It was time to come to terms with one very obvious truth: She had no plan. She had no idea what to do. She'd just taken the princess and ran, ran for the princess' life, ran in denial of what she had seen... And when she tried to report what she had seen, it was her who had been blamed for the crime.

Her body was changed. She couldn't bear to look at herself. As she fled the castle, she'd managed to shed her gleaming armor, the white armor of the proper knights, for one darker. She was to be on the run, so she needed armor that would not stand out as much. And, well. Tarnished armor needed less upkeep. She would not be able to keep her equipment in proper order.

Running wouldn't get her far enough away. She needed to find a way to get a carriage. Something. Anything to get them away from the castle. To flee to another country. Where they wouldn't be pursued- Where the princess would be safe.

For now, at least, she finds a small clearing, and lays the princess down as comfortably as she can, sitting nearby to rest and recover her strength as she waits for her to wake up. She sits, resting against a tree, black armor covering her body, and black helmet concealing her face.]
