[ A breath, the briefest consideration of whether or not she should just lie and soothe her, but that isn't really Ilde's way. Instead she is honest, and she lets her thoughts touch with Angel's, close and comfortable just like their skin. Familiar now that they have done this several times. ]
(I am too.)
[ They can hide from it here, for a little while, but the fear will always be waiting on the other side of the doorway. Ilde knows that all too well. Death, fear, and pain. A diseased pack of hound that stalks her every moment, sickness frothing at their mouths, waiting to catch her, catch those around her, and bite deep. ]
(You cannot let fear paralyze you, when you stand still... you assure your fate.)
[ She had called Angel a witch, but perhaps that was the power they needed to survive. That determination to reach even where it is ugly and dark. Prince would not approve. (Her King would not forgive.) She doesn't know if that matters. If his means have failed all who came before... what would he do for them now.
Determination wells inside of her. She won't relent. She won't let her brood be taken from her, nor Angel. She will die first. ]
