In the Coop

Princess Inara turned to the same guard that was about to inspect them a moment ago with a stern expression.

"Take them to my place. They will stay there until everyone gets settled."

"As you wish, my lady," the guard bowed from the waist and before Arnett had a chance to say anything Princess Inara along with her escort had gone past the barricades towards the city gate.

Arnett stared in her direction in silence with quite a mixed bag of feelings. On one hand he was glad it all worked but on the other...they had let the snake into the coop themselves.

The guard let out a breath of relief and quickly brought the children into the heart of the city, most of which was locked out for any refugees because of security concerns.

They were stopped a few times but with the guard to lead them, it didn't take long before they arrived at their destination.
