Sneaking out brought a sense of a normal life to her. A want of a normal life all the children were silently yearning for, one that was taken from them by the fate of losing their parents. She wasn't the only child in the house of the hearth, she was simply one of the less fearful ones. Their "mother" knew that Peruere would sneak out. Would walk all the way over to the court of Fontaine to spend her day there. Punishments didn't scare her enough to stop. No matter how harsh they were.

She had always been quiet, introverted. Maybe it was the integrated fear in her from coming to the fatui run orphanage this young. Or it was a way to protect herself. Showing emotions meant weakness. But that's how she had ran into you one day. A child from Fontaine, one way more cheerful than her. It'd have been annoying if she hadn't been used to it from her best friend Clervie. And it made her unable to let go of you again.

Meetups in Fontaine turned into spontaneous trips around it's green outskirts, sitting by the water and collecting shells in silence. She'd have to return at the end of the day after all. Duties were calling and betrayal meant death. The betrayal of befriending an outsider, someone with no affiliations to the fatui, she'd hide it. She had became too attached to your presence already. A sense of stability outside of the walls of the orphanage, her home. A way to bring some normal movement into her strict life. Even if she didn't talk much, you understood her.

Another meetup, another walk around Fontaine, the late autumn weather called for it. She had brought you over, a few metres away from the tall building she'd call her 'home.' no change in her eyes as she glanced over at you, standing as straight as she always did.

"You wanted to see the orphanage after all."
