Despite Willow's capability to change into most any shape, she was still not strong enough in her normal form to pick up and carry a full sized human girl. The tree spirit also figured it would be in her best interest to not show off her changing abilities quite yet, though it was common knowledge that dryads could shape shift to suit their needs. She did not want to cause any alarm; it would only cause the princess more stress. Then there was the fact that since she was not a full blooded dryad, she was running low on energy, each time she changed shape, it took a lot out of her. She had changed so many times from her dryad form to her human form since arriving that she was not even sure she would be able to shift into something strong enough to get Lia inside the inn and to their bedroom.

"Excuse me," she said, her voice loud and jarring. She was not one for shyness, and since she lacked social skills, she never really knew when she was being rude or not. "Is there anyone here with strength left to help my companion inside and to our room?" She put her arm on Lia's shoulder protectively, her eyes swimming with many emotions. 

Lia blushed, tried to straighten up and seemed to be managing quiet well, but the pain was still evident on her face. She crossed her arms over her stomach, as if trying to hide the small bulge that was starting to show. Would she be judged for being pregnant at such a young age, though she technically was over the age to be so. What if they asked where her husband was? She had the fake marriage licenses, but if she had to start explaining anything, she knew that she was horrible at lying.

"Please, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, Willow." She looked across the grassy yard, toward the inn. It did look a very long ways away. She swallowed, a little nervous. 'I can do it. We've been traveling for over a month, by horse and by feet.' She really hoped their horses had made it somewhere safe. She had really grown fond of them.
