As they walked along the seemingly never ending passage out of the forest (or so Aurora hoped) she couldn't help but notice that the girl was getting really chatty. Like, REALLY chatty. She bit her lip. Part of her wanted to keep going along with it - after all, this girl would have to be obliviated at some point, right? So would it really hurt to let her in more on their secrets? Probably. She really shouldn't. Yet she was now talking about getting her mom involved in this. Aurora wasn't even sure this girl HAD a mom, or if she was even real - was any of this real?? REALLY? Oh man. She did NOT want to fall down that rabbit hole.

Still, she had to do SOMETHING. She smiled when the girl related her name to a princess. Aurora didn't know much about No-Maj culture, but she SURE knew about that princess. DUH. Of COURSE she knew about the princess with her name. She giggled. "Kate can be a princess name if you really want it to be," she assured her. "You could grow up to be a princess. You never know! In fact, can you keep a secret? I AM a princess. That's why I have this stick that can protect you," she explained. There. That should suffice and also explain why her mom wasn't wielding magic sticks too. Because obviously, this girl's mom was NOT a witch. She was still nervous that at some point, SHE was going to have to obliviate this girl. She knew the spell of course, but would she be able to pull it off? It was starting to make her nervous, and she liked this little girl - it would be a shame to have to totally wipe her memory.

Nothing was happening. Like, NOTHING. Were they going the right away? Surely they should have found an exit by now? Aurora stopped, looking down at the young girl. "I know you said you can't really remember how you got here...but are you SURE?" she asked. "Were you with your mom before you came here?" she asked as a follow up. Now that she was talking more, Aurora hoped she could get more information out of her. Maybe the more she kept the little girl talking, the more she would be able to jog her memory and figure out how to get out of here.

"I just want to be sure we're not going the wrong way. This seems to be taking a while," she explained, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze again. Come on, little No-Maj girl, you could do it! YOU COULD REMEMBER! She waited for her response, facing forward, ready to start moving again if she couldn't remember. If she couldn't...well, forward was the best guess she had. If not...where else were they supposed to go?

If only she knew which DIRECTION she was supposed to go! She could use her wand as a compass. Booo. That would do her pretty much no good, having no idea which direction she was supposed to be headed.
