"I told you Lilly. You're the runt of the pack, and they don't care about the runt." Royal said solemnly, not giving a shit about the cloak

She continued to sob into Royals arms as she spoke. "She...she said that she was going to keep me here...because...because I was too close to alex...she said that I was a threat to the family...."
-
"Shh, you're safe now. It's okay." Royal whispered, keeping his arms around her
-
"Y-you were right royal." She admitted to him. "Y-you were so right and I-I didn't listen to you...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" She apologized to him as her voice was choked up.
-
"It's okay, Lilly. I forgive you. That's why I'm here" Royal's own voice was choking up, tears Welling in his eyes
-
The two stayed there for some amount of time. Eventually, Lilly brought her head up, and wiped the tears out of her eyes. "Royal..." she started. "What...what do I do now?" She asked him. "I...I think I can find Cain. Maybe I can convince him...maybe I can convince him like you convinced me."
-
"Do you truly think so, are you up for it? It may not be wise..." Royal looked at Lilly, hopeful yet also worriedly
-
"No...no I can do it. Cain is my brother...he's my friend. He was upset with what happened to Alex as well. And...he's all alone on the plains." Lilly stood up, a look of purpose on her face. "I...I can do it. Cain will see the truth, I know he will!"
-
"Then.... We have to hurry. He could be fighting right now!" Royal yelled, getting to his feet
-
"No...no if he sees you that won't go well. He's only been able to be really open with me." Lilly told Royal. It seemed more like a demand if anything. Something told Royal he wouldn't budge her on this one. "...I do need help getting out of this forest...though...."
-
"I'll take you the way I came. I got some of the brush, I'm sure I can' find my way through."
-
"Then...I'll follow you!" She said. Lilly smiled at Royal as the two left the cabin, and went out into the woods to be rid of the place for good. Lilly was safe. Royal made sure of that. And the Coldbourne's, well, as soon as their military found out Lilly abandoned them, that would definitely cause some havoc. And Tywin, to grow angry. [spoiler]The end![/spoiler]
