Walking over, she addressed the two of us.
"It is late. As mentioned, we will be leaving early to make it to my tribe by noon. Cassie, you are prone to oversleep. Go to bed."
"Awwh, okay..."
Surprisingly giving no argument or resistance, the dog girl nodded her head, yawned, and trotted back over to the carriage, disappearing inside.
Watching the place where she left for a single prolonged moment, Ryoko slid her gaze to me, moving over to stand just by where I was sitting.
"This will be your last chance, you know."
Thereafter, she opened her mouth, saying something strange in a low voice. Meeting her eyes, I paused for a moment before responding.
"For what exactly?"
She responded instantly.
"To declare your identity. Who it is you truly are. Tomorrow, you will not be able to hide it from my tribe."
"I already told you who I am."
Thinking for a second, I gave a shrug, to which she simply shook her head.
