Adrian is more weary than he has been in years. So much has happened tonight, so little of it good…. The dawn is fast approaching, and soon he will need to go to ground and rest. The way he feels, he could sleep for a month…
He smiles sadly when he thinks of Laila and Ramji. Though Laila is yet young, much of her childhood was stolen from her. She has so many things to learn, to experience. He would heartily approve of Ramji, if his approval was required.
He signals to Thea and she is there immediately. "Would you care to remain here, to spend time with your sister?"
"No, my Lord. You have planned to remain for several days. There will be time."
"Gods grant that it be so, my friend. May I impose upon you, then, to get me back to the hotel? I believe that tomorrow we will be taking rooms at this establishment, if they have such available; but now there is no time."
"Let me say goodnight to Laila, and then we will be on our way."
