Ember hold her tongue, as much as she wanted to mock him for his loyalty, she knew that now she was his prisoner, for now she would need to play by his rules. Regardless, she followed him, doing as little as she could to cause anymore anger from her captor "..."
Besides, her mind was elsewhere at the moment, she couldn't stop worrying about Aby, they had been inseparable since they met a few years ago, and while she always wanted him to be more independent...This wasn't how she wanted it to go...
She also noticed how warm his skin was, he had to be a bravery soul, right? While other traits could theoretically learn other elements, the way he handled those flames seemed too natural for that. Still she never knew any bravery soul that was anywhere near the royal level back home, so...where were they?
Walking into the ship felt like walking into a cold, empty, dark cage, even if there were plenty of people around her, she felt the most alone she ever had been before.
The ships were also strange, very much a different design than the ones back home, much much sharper and lacking on comfort features that were a staple of Alphys' ships.
She stared at the emblems as she walked, she was surprised that there was so much red there, wasn't that Frisk's house color? Where's all the orange? The flame emblem was very cool at least.
She also couldn't help but notice the guards, she made sure to take note of them in case she needed to fight later to escape, she didn't want to be caught unprepared, not here.
Meanwhile, Aby was making his way up the river, worry and regret painfully clear on his face, how could he leave her behind? Why did she ask him to run? Did she really believe he was that weak...?
All this slowed him down considerably, not to mention the fact that he wasn't exactly used to this much physical effort, it was quickly draining him.
He looked back for a moment, staring at the way he came from, by now the ship was long gone, he didn't know by how much, hell he didn't even know if it started moving or not. Still he pressed on, he couldn't give up, he wouldn't! He wouldn't lose his family again!
Suddenly those thoughts gave him a new boost of energy that he didn't even know he had, and with that he started dashing towards where he was heading before, eventually noticing some kinda village or structure in the horizon, something that only gave him more energy and more determination!
