Ah- hey, Princess.

[his vibes are not rancid, at least. there's a tense frustration there, the occasional little pang of sadness after waking up to that news, but it's something he's working on keeping in check right now. can't let it get outta hand.]

[The flare fades. She blows out a breath, just like told her to before. Rosamund nods grimly, firm in her cause.]

I understand. But if we don't try, we'll never know.

[She'll lead the way from there.]
