Heading to meet Kannen, Adela's legs throbbed as she climbed the final hill separating her from the freeloft mews, but it was worth it, visiting him was a habit of hers whenever she felt like distancing herself from all the humans around her.

"I am not running away, I am leaving,"
He gave a loud scoff.
