Bridget's arm landed on her shoulder, steering her out of the room before Tiff had time to squeak or protest. She hadn't even noticed the other woman coming over, too focused on gathering her things and deliberately not thinking about the King's presence behind her. As she was led out of the room, Tiff couldn't help but cast one last glance over her shoulder at the King, wondering if he was watching.
He was, indeed, watching.
"Um," she started, forcibly wrenching her attention back to Bridget. "I don't think I have that many questions, actually?" Mostly what was going through her mind were potential pleas for forgiveness, or if she could sneak away and possibly make it back to Crithe before the King remembered he was supposed to eat her.
Well, maybe she had a few questions. Mostly involving potential escape routes.
It was a little easier once the throne room was out of sight; the more distance between her and the King, the better. She could feel herself relaxing by degrees as they walked, and now that she wasn't terrified out of her wits, her stomach was starting to remind her of exactly how long it had been since she'd eaten.
"A little?" She repeated, incredulous. Was she just so used to the King's... terrifyingness that it didn't register anymore? Was that why she spent so much time in the dungeons, because she didn't fear him like she should? "Of course I'm freaking out! He had teeth the size of me! He had teeth the size of YOU!" That was important to elaborate on; the bigger the teeth were, the more likely it was that they would eat things that were the size of said teeth. Probably. That was definitely how it worked.
"Why wouldn't I be terrified of him?! He doesn't know me, there's no attachment there, he could, would, and probably will-" She started to go off, then paused as Bridget's words actually sank in. "...What does that mean, he's 'into it'?" That. There was no way Bridget meant what she thought she meant. No. Tiff refused to consider that possibility.
The King probably did many things, and most likely thoroughly enjoyed most of said things in various ways, but not in... that way. Right?
