Rin pulled her hand to her chest, moving further from the fire as she shook her head, muttering to herself. She didn't mean it, she doesn't know, she wasn't going to-

"They died in a fire," Dabria muttered in realization. Shit.

"Y-yeah. And I-" Rin took slow breaths, trying to calm herself somewhat. Nice. You've know her a total of not even ten minutes, and you're already on the verge of a panic attack.

"I, um," Dabria pulled her boots back on and left the cave in search of Kai. When she found him, she explained. "So you know how we just met that cute thief girl? I was just being my normal self, and I was a bit too myself, and I kinda accidentally gave her a bit of a panic attack?"

Cassidy walked back into the cavern carrying a bucket of and found that Dabria had left, leaving just Rin, sitting far away from the fire. She frowned. "Hey, where'd Dabria go?" she asked, setting down the heavy bucket and stretching out her back.

Rin looked up, forcing a smile and hoping her panic wasn't as evident as she knew it actually was. "O-out. Not sure where…"

“Dab really? We literally met her like 10 minutes ago!” He exclaimed with a small sigh. “Your people skills really suck sometimes you know that?”

"I know! I'm sorry!" Dabria exclaimed, crossing her arms. "I didn't mean to," She muttered, like a small child might when they hit their sibling too hard and they start crying.

Hello?))

((I'm here! I'm always here….

Greetings))

(Whassup?)
Cassidy gave her a strange look, but sat down near the fire, emptying the contents of the sackcloth bag onto the cave floor so that she could see what was still usable. "Hmmm…" she said, holding up an old crumbling roll of parchment for Rin to see. "You think this is usable?" She asked sarcastically.

Rin snorted, the wave of panic slowly washing away. "I don't know, it might be. You got any ink to try?"

"Anyway, we should get back. Can you collect the knights?" Dabria asked. She assumed Kai would say yes, so she started back to the cave. She returned to her spot on top of her jacket. "Sorry for leaving suddenly," She said when she noticed Cassidy was back. "I was getting Princey to collect the knights, wherever they may be. What are you two doing?"

Cassidy gestured to the pile of supplies. "Trying to sort out what's not completely useless."

Oki))

((r i p.
Rin smiled, less bright than before, and nodded. "Feel free to use anything in that bag of stuff I had."

Dabria gave Rin the most apologetic look she could muster, attempting to say, I didn't know and I apologize, or something along those lines. The princess was never very good at communicating emotions unless she was acting on them, so she attempted to speak with a single look before she returned to the items in front of her. "Well the paper will probably be fine, but the ink has probably dried up. We have a lot more supplies with the horses."

Cassidy looked at Rin, and then at Dabria, and back at Rin. "Right, um, thanks. In fact," she said, standing suddenly. "I'd better go get the saddlebags from the horses. Something tells me the others will forget them. " She gave a pretend sigh of annoyance. "Oh well though. You guys should sort through this… "stuff" while I grab the other supplies." Cassidy chose her words purposely and shamelessly. She gave them a crooked smile and walked down the tunnels towards where the arrogant pretentious prince was with the horses and the knight named… Carrot? She sighed and slowed down a little. She really didn't feel like talking to the prince right now, but she knew the other girls needed to talk. She shook her head at herself. "why do I get myself into these situations?" she muttered to herself.

Rin watched Cassidy go for the second time, and eyebrow raised. She's odd, and fun. Her and I are gonna get along. She glanced over at Dabria. "I-I'm sorry."

Dabria raised her eyebrows. "Why? Also, did you get to bandaging up your hand?"

"No, I didn't." Rin admitted, looking away. "And I'm sorry for…freaking out."

Dabria shrugged. "Anyone would freak out if you shoved their hand above an open fire, and seeing as you have bad experiences with it, your reaction was completely acceptable." She passed the piece of cloth she had been about to use as a bandage on Rin over to the thief. "But we don't need you bodily fluids everywhere."

Cassidy sighed and walked out of the tunnel and into the dappled moonlight where the two men were waiting beside the horses. She lifted her head and walked over to them. "We need to bring down the supplies your highness," she said curtly, barely making eye-contact, and instead stroking one of the horses. She glanced over at the knight, Carrot, and smiled half-heartedly.

Rin looked down at the cloth, smiling softly, and wrapped it around her hand, using her teeth to finish tying it off. "I still shouldn't let fear control me like that. A few bad experiences are just that, things of the past." Her fingers brushed over the small burns on her arms subconsciously.

"You really hate showing personal weakness, huh?" Dabria asked. She pulled a few more items out of one of the bags and set them in front of her.

"Oh, we're doing that part of this conversation." Rin pulled a face. "Of course I do. I had to grow up an orphan, and personal weakness is like, the plague."

She snorted. "I get it." Dabria left it at that and continued examining each object before her.
