you’re not sure what it is about this place, but they seem to have confused you for one of their nobles. which is... awkward, considering you don’t know any of these people and your ‘father’ is nowhere to be seen, despite all their mentions of him. ( would he even be your father anyways? or just another stranger filling a role? ) they refuse to listen to you when you protest otherwise, too, simply laughing at your ‘active imagination’. thankfully, a childhood with wolt and lilina has taught you well-- finding a large enough crack in the mansion’s courtyard wall to slip through had been easy, and you found yourself free once more.
unfortunately, it seems your absence has been very much noted. the moment you’d stepped into eriol’s marketplace, you’d caught sight of knights bearing that estate’s crest. even more unfortunately for you, your hurry to escape their line of sight -- you really hate your family’s red hair right about now -- has caused you to smack into someone.
“sorry, sorry--” you briefly glance back over your shoulder, hoping they haven’t noticed you yet. “are you alright?”
@lostdragonprince hopefully has the wingspan to make a good hiding spot. ♡
