Being no longer trapped behind a panel of glass, Sac was able to freely move around the museum, sharing a close friendship with Dexter and much closer friendship with Teddy, who would give her rides on Texas every night- or near enough every night. She could not stop feeling irritated every so often at Lewis and Clark, who ignored her and stuck so closely to their roles as their human counterparts that they had isolated themselves from the rest of the museum. To think she had been trapped behind the glass with just those two for company before Larry smashed the glass into a million pieces, luckily she was not penetrated by the shrapnel but she did not mind any more. Because she was free. Not only that but the replacement glass was one that could be easily removed in the inside as well as the outside, so not only did redecorators have easy access in, she had easy access out.
"My dear, how are you tonight?" Teddy asked as he passed by her exhibit at the break of sunset.
"I am fine, thank you. How are you?" She replied, smiling at her visitor.
"Couldn't be better! Well, would you like a ride?" Teddy offered, extending his arm from on top of Texas. She accepted it, nodding with a smile. Clark and Lewis never even noticed her leaving.
"Hey guys, how you doing?" Larry asked, approaching the both of them as they rode through the reception.
"Just splendid my boy. Tonight seems to be one of the most peaceful since your first day here Lawrence." Teddy commented, looking to Sac and back at Larry.
"It has been a week." Sac added.
"I guess we are just lucky. See you guys later, I'm going to check on the Neanderthal exhibit." Larry declared.
Sac noticed Larry always heading to the Neanderthal exhibits more often than any other room. Maybe it was because they could cause trouble at any time within the space of two seconds, or he knew that Teddy and her enjoy spending time together alone a lot of the time. Which ever it was, she could not be any happier than she was when the glass shattered. Larry made this happen after all.
After splitting up with Teddy for a while, she came across Dexter, Jed and Octavius. Jed and Octavius were riding on Dexter's shoulders.
"Sun rise is nigh, pay attention to time." She warned kindly, she took care of all the exhibits like they were her children, even if some were not human like she was (or rather to have the appearance and personality of a human).
"You got it! Let's go Dex!" Jed yelled, ripping his hat of his head and looking up at Sac, before Dexter ran towards the diorama room to drop off the miniatures (hopefully not literally 'drop').
She waved at Attila from the other end of the corridor, they were good friends even with the language barrier between them, from the first time the tablet brought the statues to life, Sac was probably the only one whom Attila did not have an urge to rip.
"Sacajawea, can I ask a favour?" Ahk said as he jogged up to her from behind, crown on his head and every accessory being worn since he first emerged from his sarcophagus- did he not mind the embellishments?
"Of course." She replied smiling.
"I am unfamiliar with the museum and I admit to getting lost more often than I would like-" Ahk rambled a bit.
"I would be happy to give you a tour of the museum tonight." Sacajawea interrupted.
"Really? I can not thank you enough!" He exclaimed with a wave of excitement.
They said their goodbyes, as Ahk headed back to his tomb before sunrise. Sac watched him make his way back and realized that for a Pharoah, he was gentle and kind, and for someone who was crowned a Pharoah whilst a teenager, he tries his best to hide his occasional childishness with the discipline training he had since birth, but in the end, had no time for childhood. He could live that childhood in the museum, because Larry set him free. Sac thought every now and again of how grateful she is of the freedom Larry gave her.
She took her place on her exhibit, and froze. When Larry did his usual rounds of the museum before opening, he swore she was smiling a little more than usual.
