Chapter 44: Sneaky
Sosora sighed and looked out the window, the only hole that belonged in her wall. She could probably sneak out at night. Even if the elders had assigned someone to watch her, they wouldn't be able to stop her should they notice her escape.
But then what?
Shirking her responsibilities wouldn't lead anywhere. But she couldn't exactly own up to what she did and apologize to the Lowat tribe, either. She didn't regret what she did, after all.
However, she detested sitting still.
Sosora knew her actions had sparked a heated discussion among the tribes of Tiabe. But she didn't know how far they had come or what they were discussing.
The first thing she needed was information.
Fortunately, she knew just the person to ask for help in that area.
Sosora waited until it was dark before getting up.
Her floor creaked with each step she took.
"Sosora, you're not sneaking out, are you?" The guard posted outside her room asked when he heard the telltale sounds of someone walking slowly on a floor that was due for some upgrades.
"O-of course not. I'm just having trouble sleeping."
