Lilli walked through the gardens while doing everything she could to maintain a steady pace. She wanted to grow wings and fly, or turn into a bolt of lightning just so she would be able to meet up with Esmé faster, but *apparently* that was frowned upon in the Capital. It had only been around two weeks since she had first arrived, but already she was sick of the place and wanted to escape back to her more comfortable life. Everything about being in the Capital was stressful and every passing moment felt more draining than the last.
The chapter was delayed because I was sick, sorrryyyyy. It was the first time I had covid though and I recovered pretty quickly, which was nice. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the new chapter and the chance to see Lilli and Esme again! Next chapter will be a continuation of this interlude and then we'll be back to our main group.
If you have any questions, be it lore, character based, or just plain curiosity, please feel free to go the discord where I'll be happy to answer whatever I can! You can find it here: https://discord.gg/AUsmhvUMQ8
And as always, I hope you're having a wonderful day~
