Trace: This entrance is huge!

Alice: As I said, dragon-sized. It’s been a fad among nobles to be able to host such guests, no matter how unlikelythat is. …Though in your case, I suppose it’s more legitimate.

Reni: (thoughts) It’s one fad I actually do appreciate. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve hit myhead on a doorframe.

Reni: (thoughts) …Seven.

Keith: Well, should be plenty of guest rooms. After today, I’m exhausted.

Alice: Woah, hey now! That wasn’t part of the deal. The arrangement was: we allow you to stay here, if you andyour wolf friend stay in the dungeons. Remember?

Trace: No one is going in the dungeons. This is my house (apparently) and therefore they are my guests.

Alice: But Captain Keiren said–!

Reni: (thoughts) Ms. Reed, it’s okay. I know for a fact now they have no connection to the city attacks. And I cankeep my eyes on everyone regardless of where they are.

Reni: (thoughts) Though you are mistaken, Trace. The dungeons here will still see use.

CLICK!

PLOP!

Group member: The wolf from before! It’s alive?

Reni: (thoughts) Yes, I made sure of it. Once he is secured, I hope to learn more about what’s behind thisattack.
