Freedom from the Fold never felt so good. Well... it felt good each time they were embraced by the light of the sky. But this time felt better. So much better.

Leo finally let herself breath, release the deepest breath as the Skiff skidded to a holt on the otter edge of the Fold.

The group took refuge round a fire to keep warm, Leo was sat by the Squaller with Jesper to her side as they huddled together for warmth.

She looked out towards the Fold to watch Kaz as he walked towards them, Jesper getting up to talk to him. Leo decided to stay put.

"Iv never met a saint before" Inej's voice broke peaceful silence, it brought Leo's attention back the the living saint sat opposite her with Inej and Mal at her sides.

Leo couldn't help but feel happy for the girl she had caught such emotions for. She was living a dream sitting next to Alina, speaking to her.

Alina have Inej an exasperated look "Iv never been a saint before" Inej smiled at that and she held the saints hand,

"Wherever you are, whatever you need...my hand is yours" Inej swore her promise,

"I like that hand with a dagger in it" Aline mused, and Leo couldn't help but mentally agree. She definitely liked that hand with a dagger in it. "I couldn't hold onto yours, so take mine as a replacement" the Saint handed her a elegantly made dagger,

Inej smiled wide at the gift, holding it as if it was glass and could shatter at any moment. The smallest smile crept onto Leo's lips seeing the girl so happy.

"Thank saints for that-" pausing when she realised she was in presents of an actual saint and gestured to Alina as she took the clothes from Jesper. "That's not offensive is it, y'know, considering you're a saint an all?" Alina giggled but shook her head no and Leo nodded "anyways, I'm covered in black bloody Volcra slop and I smell sooo- I'll be back" she turned at shielded her body by some tall grass, not that she cared what people saw. She practically walked the streets of Ketterdam naked as a child with no home or money.

She quickly changed and when she came back her clothes were tossed in the fire "no more Volcra slop" she looked towards Kaz, spotting a fancy necklace in his hands "wow" she said shocked, he quickly pocketed and and she help her hands up.

Zoya stood, walking towards Alina and Mal that stood now in a change of clothes and staring out to the Fold.

"I have to go" she stated, Leo's eyes widened,
