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.
