"I don't mean any trouble!" The Tin Woman kept protesting amid the three-way argument unfolding before her. She didn't fight to keep her place when she was pulled by the Princess, as she was far too confused by all of this at the time. But her fingers were still resting along the seam of her hollow chest when she was yanked, and the little latched compartment swung open, sending something inside tumbling to the ground.
The feeling of need for Drusilla left her, and she bent to pick up the object. She wondered to herself what it might be, and as she touched it, the feeling returned in a smaller increment. She didn't know the little booklet of paper pages for what it was--passports weren't a feature of that world, and there were no wardenly 'items' there either--but both the booklet, and the photo of a rather large man poking out from between its pages, set off alarm bells in her mind.
"We must leave here," she said to Drusilla, not noticing that she'd said it loudly enough for the Queen and Sheriff to hear as well. She didn't know why they had to leave, or what would be at the place where she was being drawn to, but she suddenly felt as if they needed to get to some certain location.
