I'm Gonna Take You Down To The Railway Line

Nausicaa was growing close to her adult height, but next to her brother Evan she still looked only a moon old. Her delicate form lay in an odd position next to him on the forest floor. She lounged comfortably though, and just barely avoided snoring as the morning krept over the pair of them.

Though sleep carried away the horrible frightened feeling in her gut, she had been scared for her sister for a long time. She didn’t come out of the den anymore, and didn’t seem to see her siblings in the rare moments she wasn't asleep. When the decision was made to sneak off and find someone who could help their sickly sister Nau hadn’t hesitated.

”It’s morning.”

Nausicaa sighed softly as he woke her gently. She might have been able to sleep the rest of the morning, but she knew they had a lot of ground to cover. Blinking back the sleep she pushed herself upright with a yawn.

”Good morning,” She told hims softly as she stretched and finished waking up. ”Which way are we going today?” Nau was half surprised their mother or brother hadn’t been sent after the two of them by now. She hated causing Philly to worry, but they had to do this for their sister.
