With still enough time between me and the palace to allow a short moment of quiet thought, I permiss myself to spill over a few more happenings, trying to work out the events of the day in my head. After all, when I get back to the palace- and back to him, my thoughts will not be allowed to be my own anymore.
Sure I have the pendant to ensure my protection, but one cannot be too careful. Especially when dealing in the business of souls.
