Whilst Adam and Allen left to make the necessary arrangements for the next day's departure, Bartholomew, Lexi, and Ann made their way to the council chambers.
"Don't you ever find all this tedious?" Lexi asked with a sigh.
"What do you mean?"
"The same scenery day in and day out… I think I might go mad if we don't get a break soon, you know." She whined, "I have no idea how you've done it for so long Barty-boy."
Bartholomew chuckled good-naturedly.
"I can assure you that things are not usually this busy nor intense under normal circumstances."
"You hear that, Queenie? We've brought abnormal circumstances along with us." Lexi grinned as she nudged Ann in the side. "Who'd have thought, eh?"
Ann chuckled as they linked arms.
"Are we actually allowed out then? Or do we have to confine ourselves to these dusty halls forever?" Lexi pressed with a grin.
