Snippet #1491003

Rin looked up as names were being read as to which girl was which prince's guardian. She listened for her name and growled when her last name was mispronounced. She shook her head, trying to figure out which one was Kai. She hadn't been paying much attention and just leaned further into the corner, intent on staying in the room until it was empty so she could retrieve her knife.

She sighed, not wanting to be without her knife for long. She shook her head, turning around again and staring up at the knife. If she used momentum to run slightly up the wall, using friction to keep her there, she would probably be able to reach it. She shook her head at the idea, knowing it would attract too much unwanted attention. With a deep breath, she suddenly jumped up, higher than before. A true smile lit up her face as her hand wrapped around the handle of her knife, pulling it out of the wall. She landed with soft feet, making no sound as she inspected her knife for damage. Satisfied, she turned around and leaned against the wall again, sliding the knife into it's sheath.

She closed her eyes, sliding down the wall. She really didn't want to be here, stuck in a room with a bunch of princes, one of which she would have to protect. Opening her eyes, she finally remembered the face that went with the name Kai. She stood, pushing herself off the wall and walking towards him. She stopped a few feet away from him, staring into his eyes without a hint of intimidation. "You know who I am." She stated, knowing he would, meaning she wouldn't have to talk much more.
