Elsie slowly sat up from the bed, a brief yawn escaping her lips as she did so.
"So–Sorry, did I wake you up?" Raph asked, curiosity laced in his tone as he watched her carefully.
Her legs were still wrapped around his waist, so her figure was currently positioned at an angle of Raph's, or perhaps beside him.
She rubbed her eyes silently, while Raph's gaze remained fixed on her.
'....how cute'. He thought.
"No, you didn't. I woke up amid your conversation with Ziza. You want to find this…man that the princess asked you to?"
Raph nodded. "I do…though I initially thought it would be best to get to the East first and search my way from there".
Elsie raised a brow as her tired gaze landed on hi@.
"What do you mean 'search'?"
"Well…" Raph scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "The princess's instructions were vague at best, but I assumed a member of the royal family wouldn't be too difficult to find".
