The time had been insignificant in terms of the eternity that the three had to face and so for all the growth that Leo had gone through,there were still parts of her that she struggled with. The sweet little girl had been lost long ago and with the influence of her traveling companions her horizons had in fact widened.  The banishment had been difficult for Leo to handle, the separation from Thomas something that was both a blessing and a curse.  No longer to have to deal with his disappointments in her lack of maturity was no longer an issue, though before she was escorted out with her consorts she had managed to leave Thomas a sweet message of thanks for all that he had done for her.....well to her mostly.<br/><br/>The former mentor would have entered his quarters at the back of the church only to find that Leo had in fact situated every one of his books and scrolls into their proper place, however should he actually pull one from the shelf to glean through would find that they were not what he intended them to be.  Leo had taken the books apart and restructured them so that all of his lore had been misplaced and nothing was entirely whole .  Here or there he would find pages missing that she had snuck off with her along with those clothes in the closet he had been so incredibly stingy with. As if anyone would actually look for the polyester blends any more anyhow.<br/><br/>It was a distant memory now she sifted through while the humdrum of the road lay beneath the tires of the bus.  The gentle hum doing anything but drowning out the sounds of the heartbeats around her .  Most would see the young woman she had once been, dark hair sweeping in silken tresses about her and piercing blue eyes that could often times reach straight to the souls of those she chose to gaze upon. It was a picture far from what she truly was, something that had been a constant reminder with Jonesy's scent rising so pungently beside her.<br/><br/>Looking over she gave a bit of a smile, Connor pleasantly sitting there making himself every bit the King she knew he could be if given the chance. Of course the women he flashed that daring smile at or flexed for had become a bit of a nuisance, though when in light of the meals they provided, Leo couldn't truly complain.  Jonesy, well he'd come to be a trusted comrade that seemed to know her better than she knew herself.  Caught in the banter between them she welcomed the interruption from her thoughts. " Right , so where too again ?  Did they give any direction as to where we're supposed to go ?  It  doesn't seem like much out here ? " she gestured towards the darkness of nothing outside the window.
