"The Kaji-it are south at the ruins. I found their trail on my way here."
Pausing, Jak studies her before his jaw ticks, looks away, hand running over his hair "Why don't you come with me?" he mutters, barely audbile

"Why don't you come with me?"
Her shoulders rise a little as her eyes widen, but she doesn't face him. "I don't think I'd be welcome there, princeling," she murmurs, tucking her chin low as she draws the cloak closer. "I'm the Sheran's bastard, and I stand against the Sherai. The villagers were the ones who let her mother throw me out."

"I wouldn't let them touch you, not after what you did for me." Jakys murmurs, voice calm "You're as much of a princess as Iberia is, and I'll be damned if I let even one finger land on you. Besides. I could get lost, and in my state, it would be easy."

Slowly she looks at him, surprised as she studies him closely. After a moment, and the logicality of his last statement, she purses her lips and stands, putting out the fire. "I suppose I can't let you go alone and you end up falling off the trail and dying. It wouldn't do anyone any good."

"I suppose I can't let you go alone and you end up falling off the trail and dying. It wouldn't do anyone any good."
"Perhaps." Jakys murmurs, small smile crossing his face as he watches her for a few moments then looks away, glancing around the room

"Perhaps."
Esper watches the embers simmer out before moving and picking up her small pack, Onyx rising and shaking out his fur. She pauses and digs with one hand in the pack and pulls out some jerky, holding it out for him. "Here, a little something to hold you over until I can catch some game."

"Here, a little something to hold you over until I can catch some game."
"There's no need to offer me food you could be eating." Jakys murmurs, lips twisting down some in a frown "I can help you hunt, once we're on the move."

"There's no need to offer me food you could be eating. I can help you hunt, once we're on the move."
"Take it, princeling. I'll eat whenever I'm ready," she replies, still holding it out for him with an unwavering gaze.

Studying her for a moment longer, Jakys finally lets out a sigh of resignation, taking it from her, taking a small bite "Why do you insist on calling me that?"

"Why do you insist on calling me that?"
"It is what you are, is it not?" she asks, re-situating her pack and starting outside, Onyx on her heels.

"It is what you are, is it not?
"It is both true, and a farce." Jakys states quietly, eyes trained on her as he follows the two of them

"It is both true, and a farce."
"Then it is still a truth." She stops and looks around the camp, getting her bearings as she took a breath, steadying herself before she continues on. "And I will continue to call you that as I don't feel I have the right to address you as Frey." Her gaze slides to him. "Yes, I do know who you are, at least in the sense of which family you are from. It isn't that hard to see."

"Why do you feel you do not have the right to address me by my own name?" Jakys murmurs, gaze meeting hers as they walk before he looks away at the mention of his family, clearing his throat to gather his thoughts, jaw clenching "In any case, I don't even know what to address you as, as I have yet to learn your name."

"Why do you feel you do not have the right to address me by my own name?"
"I may have little respect for my sister," she starts. "But I still respect any royal within our kind. It wasn't the other tribes that have wronged me but my own."
"In any case, I don't even know what to address you as, as I have yet to learn your name."
"Esper," she answers and looks forward again.

"Nice to meet you." Jakys murmurs, small smile crossing his lips at her name before he shakes his head "You are royal, as well."
