The scruff of her back felt hot, itchy, but it had been better since she'd been bit by the mean man in chains. She thought she was healing nicely, spending her week sleeping and chatting with whoever would talk to her, being good and letting the others change her bandages when they needed changing, at least until her guard started getting antsy about her back smelling funny.
The first day, after that long walk in the tunnel, she'd felt fine.
But when she woke up that morning, the princess was uncomfortable, and wanted to sleep in more. Complaining about the sun not even being up when the man told the group it was time to move, dragging her feet...more.
She sat at the feet of Idalie once they stopped at the border, plopped over and trying to lean against the other girl to support herself. Puppy grumbling in response to being told not to talk first. Tyra wanted to say hello after all! If she had been feeling better, she would have disobeyed, and probably get an ear cuff.
