“Yes you are, don’t try to hide from me,” she said. She put her hand on his arm.
“I’m sorry, this has got to be hard on you. But I promise, we won’t stop looking for your mother until we’ve found some answers.”
“Yes you are, don’t try to hide from me,” she said. She put her hand on his arm.

(Hey btw what timeline r u on bc im on eastern i live in ga)
(nervous laughter. Well uh, 1. I don't know what that stands for and 2. I'm in ACDT)
"But what if-" Farron swallowed, "What if we decipher the note and go and find her and… and she's not there?" He asked quietly, "I just… I-I don't want to get my hopes up…"
(lol I live in georgia in the usa, and where's your time zone, Australia?)
"Well, at least you've got more to hope for than you used to. Just think, Farron. As little as two months ago, your mother was alive. We know that for certain. And we also have a clue to how to find her, although we haven't deciphered it yet. We're almost there." She smiled her biggest smile. Now, she would help Farron make his dream come true.
(Yeah, I’m in South Aus)
Farron sighed, “I-It could just be a trick. She could by lying and sending us on a useless trip… I don’t believe it…”
"Farron, you've gotta let yourself believe something. . ." she trailed off. She was slowly drifting off to sleep. "We'll. . . find her. . ."
“Maybe…” Farron smiles at her and gently layed her under the covers of the bed, “Goodnight.”
When Azura woke up in the morning, she headed straight for her hood where she had left the note. She felt around a little bit, and her fingers curled around the old peice of Manilla. ive got to decipher the code, we don’t have much time, she thought. She put all her focus into that ting scrap of paper, and sell nothing. When her eyes started watering, she gave in and left the note in the hood. She leaned against the window and let out a heavy sigh.
Farron was still sleeping while this was happening, although he wasn’t sleeping peacefully. His dreams were filled with nightmares and visions of his mother leaving him yet again. He let out a small whimper in his sleep.
Azura heard the whimper and looked over at Farron. Poor guy, she thought. She tiptoed over to him and got only a few inches from his face, and smiled.
“Farron,” she whispered. “Wake up.”
When he didn’t respond, she pinched his nose, and waited.
Farron woke a few moments later, swatting at whatever was on his nose and glared when he found out it was Azura, “What was that for?”
She giggled.
“To wake you up, silly.” She ruffled his hair, then stood up.
“Come on, we’ve got work to do. I’ve been thinking about this whole situation, and I think I’ve come up with a plan. It seems to me,” she said, deep in thought, “based off of the little I know about your mother, that she would’ve probably explored the town while she was here. So maybe, we can get some information from the townspeople? Then, after we’ve gotten as much as we can, hopefully we’ll have deciphered the note and we’ll know where to go.”
Farron looked towards the ground and crossed his legs, "Sure. Yeah. Good plan."
Azura huffed. there he goes again, she thought. he can never make up his mind. she shook her head. “What do you want to do?”
"I don't know!" Farron very nearly shouted as he stood, "If I did I would tell you but I don't know!" He walked into the bathroom before he had a mental break down.
Azura just sat there, shocked. And hurt. She walked to the bathroom door in an attempt to knock on it, but then she turned to the door of the room and walked out.
What did I do?
Farron collapsed against the door, bringing his knees to his chest. He rested his head against the door and closed his eyes, cursing at himself for getting angry. But he wasn't angry at her, he was angry at himself and didn't know how to deal with it. You absolute idiot, And other phrases swarming his mind.
She decided to just look around town and see what she could find, to try to get her head off of Farron. She was too stressed to think clearly. A few minutes into her walk, she bumped into a young woman who was running by.
"Sorry," they both said at the same time. They smiled. The girl was short and thin, with chin length brown hair that was evenly cut. She introduced herself as Lynn O'riley, the librarian's daughter, and said she had never seen Azura before. Eventually, they got to talking, and they went into the library together after Azura professed her love of books. They were the only two in there since it was early. Lynn introduced Azura to a few of her favorites, and they spent a long time gathering novels for Azura to read.
Farron eventually came out of the bathroom once he had calmed down slightly. His hair was mussed but he could care less at this point. He felt like his entire world had been split in two and, even though some part of him wanted his mother to be alive, majority of him knew it could be fake and they could be doing this for nothing.
He changed into some different clothes and headed down to the bar, grabbing a glass of water.
Azura had sprawled herself out on the second floor of the library, and was currently three chapters into a novel, holding it up in the air and waving her feet in circles.
"Wow, I had no idea there were this many books in the world." she reached for her tea that Lynn had made for her.
"Yeah," Lynn said, and sat down near Azura. "I have to ask, though, since your story is so interesting- why are you guys here? I mean, I understand wanting adventure, but this town isn't what I would call exciting."
Azura lowered her book and looked over at Lynn. So far, she hadn't told her all the details, just that she and Farron decided to get away from her kingdom for a while. Lynn didn't even know she was a princess.
"Well, uh, we just decided to stop by for a bit," she said. "No real reason."
After draining his glass of water and making some small talk with the bartender, Farron headed out of the inn. He winced slightly at the blinding light of the sun, wandering aimlessly through the towns streets with no intent of stopping yet. Eventually, he made his way to the library and became to slowly walk the rows and rows of books.
"Are you sure that's it?" Lynn said. She had only known Azura for a few hours, but she could tell something was up.
"Yep, positive," she said, this time not even looking up from her book.
(hey btw which major city do you live near in australia bc im trying to add your timezone to my phone)
(I’m in Adelaide)
Farron stopped when he heard Azura speak and guilt washed over him again. He released a shaky breath and turned away, hoping he wasn’t seen.
Azura heard the library door open, and she looked down over the side of the stairs at Farron. She decided not say anything, though, and she let him walk out. Once the door closed, she flopped back down on the ground.
"You know that guy?" Lynn inquired. Azura just nodded in reply.
"Why didn't you stop him, I want to meet him!" Lynn put down her cup and raced down the stairs and out the door.
Farron sighed and slipped a hand into his pocket. When he heard someone calling after him, he turned around and stopped in his tracks.
"Hey, you, come in the library for a second," Lynn said, and waved him inside.
"I'm Lynn, and that girl up there said she knew you, so I wanted to meet you!"
Azura blushed and made a tiny wave at Farron through the bars.
Farron looked to Azura with a small smile then back to Lynn, “Did she? Yeah, I know her. I’m Farron.”
(Again, you guys are awesome. And how would you feel about me making this into a book, full credit to you?)
(Like, non-published obviously, I just really like where this is going, and I thought it would be fun.)
