Just letting you know you bought yourself a couple weeks.”

Alexis paused, turning back to him with a grin. “If it can’t keep up, I leave it behind.” She nudged to it. “Give it to your Prince. Parting gift.” She turned and waved. “Wish you well in the war.” Her hand dropped, that smile not wavering as she began her long trek back home.
‘You’ll need it.’
