Sneaking Out
Pressing a finger to her lips, Sylvia leaned back around the corner to see if the guard was paying attention. “Okay, let’s go!” She whispered, pulling up her hood before she dashed behind the castle guard’s back, out the open gate onto the road. There wasn’t really a need to make such a display of sneaking out, since they weren’t prisoners, but dressed in her least ornate gown and with a plain cloak draped around her shoulders, Sylvia felt like playing things up. After all, if you were going to wear a disguise, you might as well go all out, she figured. She glanced over her shoulder to see if Astrid was still with her, smiling widely. @astrid-grey
