―――― Safe and Free did not come without any additional repercussions. Her time in the Pitt... How did she even describe it? Her chest was a knot of emotions, walking along, or having to be carried by, her Uncle at a more of a stumbling pace, her gaze downwards. She had always been quiet, this much everyone had told her, and she very well knew, but the little girl now was utterly silent. Her Uncle's pleading gaze went unheeded, her lips dry and almost cracked, matched by the cracks in her paws and the dehydration that dried her throat up just like that desert. She felt weak, thinner, more worn down, yet she said nothing. Only a few scratches littered her body- they didn't get the chance to fully enact all of their threats, yet Fairylights knew that was only a minor mercy. Some of them... Very few of them... seemed to regard her as a child and in some ways were less severe to her, but there were many others that did not care, that only saw her as Buckingham's Niece, a tool to hurt the only family left in her life. After a time, her gaze finally lifted to meet her Uncle's eyes as they drew closer to Sunhaven, her spirit still heavy, but her heart lifted ever so slightly. Her cheek tilted against his shoulder, leaning against him slightly as she looked out over the familiar expanse of the territory, feeling the cool breeze against her skin. Home.
