Tara looked out the window at the driver's announcement, her fingers still dancing in her lap, never quite still.  She smiled at the site of the bridge.  She had to admit, this was the closest thing to a homecoming she ever got.  The home of her youth was long gone to her, and she wouldn't have ever wanted to return in any case.<br/><br/>Her eyes shifted back to the knight on the other side of the bunny girl, and she watched his hand settle on the pommel of his sword.  He had smiled back at her before the driver had spoken, and she had almost been sorry, though unsurprised, that there had been no real pleasantry behind the expression.  It was unfortunate.<br/><br/>Tara was happy to give her false story, smiling still, more at ease as they crossed the bridge.  Only an hour and she would be safely in the arms of her Pr-- sanctuary.<br/><br/>"I'm returning home after a long absense."  It hadn't truly been a long absence, it had only taken her nigh on six months to find trouble in a wealthy lordling's pants this time.<br/><br/>All the while, Tara watched Valerianna, a flicker of something hidden in her eyes.  The tension between the tiefling and the knight was tangible at times.
