[Log, Day 3] I drove seven hours all day to see you, the least you could do is be home

Rue awoke to the sound of crows tapping at her window, as she had for the past several nights. She had thought by now she would be able to sleep through it, but the longer she refused to respond to them, the louder and louder they seemed to rap at the window. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up, sparing a soft smile for the prone form of the prince next to her. At least someone here could sleep through it.

As she opened the window, letting the birds flutter in around her feet, she breathed in the cool morning air, her irritation fading a bit. Perhaps that other princess was right. They wouldn't be so bad after a little training. But first...

"Mytho," she said gently, crossing the room to sit and lay a hand on his shoulder. "It's time to wake up."

Sighing, Rue threw open the door, nudging a few crows out of the way as she stepped aside to let Fakir in.

"Those poor peasants just don't understand a thing," she said, sitting herself down on the edge of the bed next to Mytho. "They probably don't even realize that they're in danger as well."

Fakir regarded the crows with the same cautious distaste people reserve for particularly dirty stray dogs and stepped into the room.

"I'm sure they have some idea," Fakir said. He beckoned to Mytho. "Come on, time to go."
