Ky furrowed her brow, glancing between them, then followed him out the door. She let it close behind them before she asked, voice lowered, “what was that?”

Tomhas was silent for a moment, shoulders hunched as he walked. "She's...not very happy with me. For, you know. Coming here. Risking my men. She said I should have granted your request and sent you home with a larger group of people than what I had..."

"It's fine." He brightened quickly, putting more of a spring in his step. "It'll be fine." He glanced at her. "So you didn't know about the tunnels before?"

“No.” She shook her head. “Emery — oh, I guess there was that — we were playing the Question Game. And I asked… I don’t even remember. Maybe what his favorite part of the Keep is. So he showed me.”

"Oh, fun!" His brow furrowed. "Hm, he never told me the tunnels were his favorite."

“I may have phrased it differently, I’m not sure. Maybe I just asked him the most interesting thing here. I don’t know.”

"Well they certainly are. And he's been down there a couple times for sure, but not as much as me and Gaius have."

“Yeah, that’s what he said. That I should ask you for a proper tour of them.”

Ky smiled playfully. “I’ll make you go first.”

"I am quite tall," he said proudly. "But I'm not very wide. I'll do my best." He looked around. "We're near one of the entrances, but not the one to the mirrors."

She contemplated making a fat joke, but then decided they would just draw attention to her weight loss and thought better of it. “Where does this one go?”

"I think..." He paused a few paces down the hall and pushed on a stone. A tiny door opened in the wall. "Yes, this one connects to several. The nursery, a couple bunkers, Aunt Evelyn's room."

“They connected the nursery to bunkers?” Ky scoffed, aghast.
