[color=f49ac2]“I will try to get you back today, but we have a lot of ground to cover.”[/color] Iris sighed softly doubtful she could, [color=f49ac2]“but it’s unlikely we will get there today. Not with your wounds. You will need rest or there won’t be much of a Prince to take back.”[/color] Glad he was happy to have the subject changed and not focus on how grim life was outside of the Capital, it was something she hoped he would see. Hoping he would look into it when he got home, if she didn’t make it at least she knew she had tried to make things better for them. That’s what the cause was meant to be about, not killing. 

Feeling them go deeper into the city this time she continued at a slow place, not rushing as it would look unusual amongst the others who were just casually walking around. The people had worn down clothes, some didn’t even have a pair of shoes to wear but she didn’t look at them. Not making eye contact with a sea of people that could react differently was the best in this case. [color=f49ac2]“Ah… well. A friend. My best friend actually. Something I managed to remember yesterday.”[/color] Feeling herself smile slightly as it meant she wasn’t fully alone, she had someone that wanted the best for her and was willing to help. [color=f49ac2]“That bag I collected, they gathered the items and hid it there for me to collect. So, I could get you out. They are probably the only other person here that wants to help.”[/color] 

Rounding a corner, she stopped holding her arm out for Cas as she caught sight of someone she hadn’t expected to see. The one person she hoped she would never see again and her heart stopped at the sight of him, [color=f49ac2]“We can’t go this way.”[/color] Hissing her words as she casually turned away hoping Cas would follow, it was none other than Ethan standing at one of the gates talking with a few people, the gates to move onto another district. It seemed as if he was waiting for them to turn up. 

[color=f49ac2]“Shit.”[/color] Grimacing to herself as she led Cas towards some run down housing estate, a park was located in the middle but there was no working slide, no workings swings or anything for the children and it just had an eerie feel to it. [color=f49ac2]“That’s the only way to the next district, we need a plan.”[/color] Biting her lip as she started to think to herself on what she could do, he wouldn’t stay there forever. He would have to move on wanting to see if they had made it further into other districts. [color=f49ac2]“We may have to wait, keep scouting until he leaves? They have weapons… we don’t.”[/color] So, going in for a full-frontal attack would be a suicide mission, it was going to have to be the waiting game for them. 

Fiddling with the sleeves of her hoodie she felt tense, she had never had to do something like this before and it was an entirely new situation to her. [color=f49ac2]“I’m sorry I didn’t think of a full-on plan. I should have prepared for this.”[/color]
