What's next?
Regroup
The wagon continued moving forward, no clead destination in mind such as the passengers on board. No home to turn to, no location set. Janette had shifted to make room for Felix to sit beside her, directing the horses to make a turn here or there.
Nothing was said between the group, with a stowaway on board this time. Raz had found himself trapped within, his cuffs pinning him alongside Dimyri. When the wagon took off, he tried to jump off by instinct however was pulled back in by his prisoner. Or was he the prisoner now? She was quick to grab his sword and point at him, her expression read clear what her intention would be were he to do something unwelcome. He simply raised his hands and sat back, pressed against the cargo as the others kelt silent and to themselves.
KuliKuli and Syri had grouped together and held each other close, sobbing quietly at the loss of their mother. Both girls were upset and needed time to express themselves, preffering the solidarity of holding each other close in muted agreement of comfort. Janette had nothing to add, staying in the front reins. Her mind was elsewhere too, what was left for her to do now that she had lost her home? What could she do, nothing came to mind to answer her dilemma. Only left with an empty thought of worry and lost concern.
Felix seemed to be the only one with focus in mind, steering them away from the fire and under the safety of darkness. Emyri explained to him quickly that should the situation become dire, she wanted him to take her girls and run. He was opposed of course, as was Reta and Na'Vi but Emyri was not hearing it.
'Just trust me on this, please! Everything I have done has failed or made things worse, let this be the only action I know can help.'
Those were her words, effective enough to draw silence from them when she continued to include a sudden revelation.
'I want you to take this and give it to Leone when he finds you, he'll know what to do next. He should be going after you when tonight ends, when he does please talk to him. I know I owe you an explanation but I can't tonight, not like this. Just, please Felix. Please save my girls.'
Save my girls, that was it before Reta hid into the grass and they made their move. That was the instruction she left him with, and as they pulled over into the famililar setting he was charged with looking after, he opened his palm to take another look at the charm Emyri left him with.
A Monster Hunter charm.
