She has seen all sorts of things on this journey — an exodus to another world. Roche is more keen on adventure than she is on the idea of missing the only home she has ever known; father says there is so much more out there, and she hungers for the adventure of it all, and the freedom that comes with it. She is up before the sun, her family nestled in the hollows beneath the trees and scattered across the forest floor. Father is nowhere to be seen, and she imagines he is scouting ahead for potential dangers along their path.

Unfortunately for her siblings, it means Roche is without the consequence of punishment. She creep-crawls on her belly towards the sleeping form of Romulus, reaching out and attempting to land a sharp nip on his ear. Her body thrums with excitement, hoping she can convince him to make a grand escape with her and see what they can find in these vast woods to entertain themselves.
