( It might be easier for her to handle people knowing she's royalty if it didn't risk people looking at her differently, expecting her to be one way when she is just now finding the path she wants to walk. In the Hideaway Jill loathed bringing any unnecessary attention to herself, or risk have people treat her differently than the others. She might have been Clive's second-in-command, but when resources are thin, having people trying to give her special privilege because of a rank she hasn't had since she was six would weigh uncomfortably heavy on her shoulders.
She is a dominant, a princess, a monster, but she never asked to be any of those things, and the one she became because she was not strong enough eats at her even now, after Imreann lay run through with her sword. It's more important to be those things she can choose -- an outlaw, Clive's wife, Jill Warrick.
So there is a palpable relief that comes with Hilda's word to forget about it. )
Thank you.
We would love for all those we've come to know to be able to attend, so keeping the festivities to Thorne isn't particularly an option we wish to consider.
