Princess stood, stretching her arms above her head as she blinked against the morning sun. She’d shifted upon waking up and put on her white and red dress, which was now damp with dew from where it had been sitting over night. Since her meeting with Colibri, Princess now considered the woman a friend of sorts, and she had grown to be more comfortable with shifting. She had even figured out she had been wearing her dress incorrectly, much to her embarrassment, but once she had fixed it, it had fit more snugly, and was far more comfortable. Lowering her arms to her sides, she walked towards the borders, just a few more steps. She wanted so badly to go back into the area not inhabited by Dahlia’s members, and she desperately wanted to explore the area around the pack. However, she had promised Alexey she would not. Princess had broken that rule once, and it wasn’t necessary to do so again. At least, not so soon after the first time.
The borders were marked, but she supposed that they were not exactly set it stone, so she kept walking until she knew she had crossed them a bit ago, and then stopped. If you wanted to look at it technically, Princess was still disobeying Alexey by leaving the pack lands, but she could still see the pack lands, and she could smell the border. That was surely good enough; it had to be. All she wanted was to explore, and look for her brother in secret. Enough time had passed since her reunion with her mother that she was beginning to feel incredibly guilty over pretending to forget her brother in front of Tokyo. Since then, she had only mentioned Buttface by name once, and that was to Alexey. She was trying to keep her word to her mother, but it was difficult to pretend you know nothing about someone that you cared so much about.
She supposed she would feel better if she knew her brother was alive and well. Unfortunately, she didn’t know of any way to ensure that. They had parted ways on bad terms, and as she stood there with her arms hung limply at her sides, Princess regretted allowing him to walk away from her. She could have refused to let him go, and could have tried to force him to find Tokyo with her. She could have made him come with her. Threats might not have worked, but perhaps she could have bribed him. Even if it had been a bribe of harm to their mother, it might have worked, and she would still have her brother with her. She sighed; she didn’t know why she spent time trying to find him in secret. He hated her now, most likely.
