One of several conclusions that Nora came to almost immediately: this new life of hers was freedom.
Freedom to go where they like, freedom to do what they like, freedom, the sort that as a human she had never truly known. It wasn't just the new rules that accompanied her new state (though those have taken some learning) but the ones that came with her new station. She wasn't a proper girl, proper lady, unless she chose to be, and that was something she hadn't even realized she wanted but that she took such joy in.
As tonight: they'd gone northwards, nearer to the land her new brother once called home though not in it, there was nothing to worry about but feeding and finding someplace to rest when day broke, and while their father went in search of such a place, it fell to the children to find their own dinners, find their own amusement. They hadn't landed in a city or even a town as they so often did, so instead Nora and Eric were hunting between the cottages and the nearby forest -- or anyway, that's what she was doing. In her impetuous baby way, she'd run off by herself, determined that she wouldn't need any help, and if he came across her now, he'd find her sitting beneath a tree with legs sprawled out in the most unladylike way, happily and rather messily drinking from some hapless village fellow.
