Right, to Serpent Keep it was, then. That's the impression she'd been getting. And yet she had so much anxiety about the thought of perhaps being the only one of ...

She felt like she was making progress with him. She’d gone from physically hiding behind Tomhas while Gaius all but interrogated her at the meeting, to now earning almost-smiles from ...
