in the Market for a friend

“Come on, Tsubaki, we’re leaving.” She snapped. She pushed Beru with her shoulder and together, they fled the guard room. Leaving Basilisk behind, and she was relieved when the taller brute made no move to stop them. Shaking her head, and almost vibrating with rage, they dodged through the venues and she shoved her blindfold down as they neared the cave exit. She let out a few sharp breaths, and then she could taste the difference in air. They were out.

“The nerve of him!” She growled, before shaking her head again and a small smile peeked through. Sunlight over the storm clouds. ‘You were brilliant, though. Tsubaki? genius.” She complimented him. She wouldn’t have thought of that, and hopefully it would help her dad chase his tail later!
