nostalgia // open, trespassing

[♕leopold♕]

Leopold was briskly walking deeper and deeper into Griffingate's capital. Entering the enemy's territory like this was by far the dumbest thing he's done, especially considering he didn't have Jeong with him. He'd left sometime in the late hours of the night, when everything was still and silent, without telling his body guard. The young adult had even left his beloved dog behind, because he was well aware of the danger and besides, Peanut had done enough walking in the past few weeks. It hadn't taken him nearly as long to get to Griffingate as it had leaving and going to Blackfall, but that was probably due to the fact that it had been the first time any of them had gone to their new home, and they'd been travelling in a huge group.

Since he was alone, Leo could keep going for as long as possible, instead of having to stop for the group because the majority of them were tired. It had still taken a while, but it had taken less time than before, and so he counted it as a success. It was harder to take care of himself when he didn't have someone nearby, and Leopold must've lost some weight considering he hadn't brought nearly enough food for the trip, but the stubborn chub clinging to his stomach could stand to shrink a bit more, so he could deal with the hunger.

Anyways, now Leopold was in the capital of their enemies territory, dressed in a jacket and jeans that he'd taken from Jeong, with the hood partially pulled up. He didn't want to hide completely, was too well-trained to seem weak like that, but he also didn't want to be recognised by anyone who might've known him before the split. Considering his parents had been eager to show him off, more than happy to rant about how great of a leader he was going to be one day, he was a bit more well-known than your average civilian.

His gaze flicked to every person he passed, studying them intently for the second or two he looked at them; who knows, maybe one of them was someone Leopold was familiar with, someone who could tell him what had become of his parents. Although, if his parents were still alive, he knew they'd despise living in the commons like this, so they were more likely to be closer to the center of the capital. Keyword on if, because Leo knew the chances of him being alive were pretty low considering they had stayed in a place full of people they disagreed with.

He sped up a bit more and continued on towards the center, eyebrows furrowed slightly as he lost himself in his thoughts. Gods, Leopold really wished nobody recognised him. And that his parents were still here.
