Free to go? Fossil stared at the warrior, perplexed. That certainly hadn't been clear. Crow seemed happy enough to go along with the boat's crew, but Fossil certainly wasn't. She still had a mission, and a bunch of people she couldn't trust (even including one she did) were not part of her plan. So when Crow released her, Fossil took a couple steps back. After the warrior said some strange gibberish, Fossil smiled at him, and said, "Thank you for helping me. I wish I could offer you something in return, but you must understand that what you asked is impossible under the circumstances. I'll be off now, best of luck." She directed a clearly sarcastic salute at the sailors and soldier, and gave the princess an awkward half smile. It would be a great relief to get out of here.<br/><br/>A few streets over, the riot continued. The docks were nearly deserted and Fossil found no immediate opposition as she turned on her heel and strode away from the boat. Just a little bump in the road, she thought. No need for suicide or panic. By sundown she'd be back at the tree camp with a mug of hot chocolate, in the embrace of her dear Nadya.
