"How did you know? She didn't leave a letter, but she did leave this…" she held up a token that had the mark of the Eberbach family engraved on it.

"From the way she acted, I guessed that she wouldn't simply steal our horses without leaving anything. I did know a person who acted very similarly to her after all."
