Who: Grace & Jamal
What: Grace should be in the Hospital wing but she keeps finding ways to sneak away
Where: HQ: Hallway
When: 11/2; evening
Warnings: Possible talks about injury.

Grace knew that she should stay in the Hospital until she's fully healed but she didn't like it there. It made her feel bad with everyone fussing about her and everything there was foreign to her. The lights in the Hospital darkened at the same time they do each night and just like the evening before Grace slipped from her bed and silently moved down the hall and away from the Hospital. She had a nightgown on which wasn't too different from her usual dresses and her red-ish hood. They'd let her keep it during her stay in the hospital and she now used to it to cover the bandage on her right forearm.

Like father like daughter.

Her bare feet ghost against the hard floor as she turned the corner and crashed into someone walking the other way. Being half the size of a regular adult Grace fell to the floor releasing a whelp of pain as her injured arm reached out to catch her.

Jamal thought about that answer. It was a strange one. Even though he had been born into poverty by the time he was a teenager his father had made it big and there was a lot that he didn't remember from his childhood -- mostly things like food, which he was sure had been lacking.

"You didn't live in a city, then."

Grace shook her head. "I lived just outside of town with Papa in the forest. It was a small cottage with a few others that circled the town. I got to go see the castle when there were markets but Papa would only sometimes take me with him." When he felt bad leaving her home alone.

"This is the first time I've seen a city but I haven't left this place very much. It's easy to get lost and I don't think anymore wants me to go alone."

It didn't sound quite real. Then again, being here didn't feel quite real sometimes. "A castle... like a real one?"

Jamal gave a small nod. "you definitely shouldn't go alone."

Grace nodded her head. "Yes. I only got to see the outside and I don't know who lives there." She knew that it was someone important who spoke to her father that dad, someone who told him to leave. She always wondered what that conversation had been about.

"I know. I'm sure someone will take me one day." She had hope and she didn't mind waiting. Grace was very good at waiting.
