Still fiddling nervously with the end of her habit, she raised herself up more confidently and started to walk towards the cave as soon as the Ramen asked her to show it to her. She liked taking charge, visibly taking an enjoyment of it, as she stalked the woods, carefully looking out for branches that were upturned or the underbush preventing them to walk any faster then a slow pace. She had to push branches and twigs out of the way, purposely releasing them with quite the sweep backwards towards the Ramen. All with all, she was a defiant little one, and nothing from her acting showed the gratitude a normal person would give towards their saviour. All she could think about was wondering what had happened, and why the monsters she had seen in the sky had done such a thing to her village. She would go to the Kaiser, and explain what happened, hoping he would provide her answers. Nevertheless, she had no idea where the emperor of the world lived, nor how to get there. She knew these woods well, but had never travelled outside of the hills.<br/><br/>When they finally arrived the cave, she sat down, her depressing thought further pressing on her mood, until she finally snapped. The absence of adrenaline in her blood, and the matter of hiding were now useless, making place for the overwhelming feeling of loss and hopelessness. She couldn't help but cry, letting the tears stream down her cheeks, and snivel silently as she watched the Ramen find the entrance of the cave as well, the darkness of it all encompassing them both. Were the Ramen able to see, he could not find her in the dark, pressed in between two stones with her back against the cold hard wall of the natural cavern. She liked it, that he could not see her in the dark, unbeknownst that darkness did not matter for this being, and he would nevertheless 'see' her and what she was doing.<br/><br/>''Will you abandon me after this night?''<br/><br/>Her words were carefully chosen, drenched with fear of being alone and with an absence of her normally uppity tone. It was evident that she was afraid, and had nowhere to turn to, now her village and her life had literally burned to the ground.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
