Rey watched as Fridgar's attack was brushed aside like nothing, colliding on a surface she hadn't seen until now. What the hell was this woman? It didn't matter, just because Fridgar had been stopped didn't mean Rey would be. One of two things would happen, in Rey's eyes - she'd land the blow or be a distraction. She knew that the risk of death was there, but it didn't matter. She was ready for that if it happened, ready to give herself for someone else to live - if that someone was Fridgar. Besides, she had to make Lisirra proud. She had no choice.
The swarm of insects stopped Rey in her tracks, making her halt. As she was about to question, the voice answered everything - Lisirra. Rey grinned, before nodding. "Yes mother, as you wish" she said, before turning to Fridgar and running. She grabbed his arm and tugged, looking him dead in the eyes. Just the look alone was enough, they needed to go. As she did, she spotted her dagger. Quickly, she grabbed it, before turning away. With or without him, she ran. She knew that her mother could do this, and if the evil woman decided to fight Lisirra she would soon learn the same.
After two bits of running, she turned towards where they had run. Despite being saved by Lisirra, her anger was still rising. That woman had disrespected her mother, and the brute that came before had dared to attack her and her Fridgar. She clutched her dagger close, the cold starting to impact her. She wasn't far from home now, so the cold wouldn't stay a problem, but it was a bitter reminder of what had happened.
"I'm sorry, mother, I let you down" Rey whispered to herself, eyes closed in prayer. She then looked to see if Fridgar had come with her. If he did, she would hug in to him, before taking his hand and starting to walk back to their cabin.
"I think that's enough for one day. That was one hell of a walk."
