An unexpected reunion

"What took you long?" Agu folded his arms, with a frown levelled solely on Rain.

"I had to return to my room, should in case he sent anyone to tail me." Rain glanced back, to be certain he hasn't been followed.

"No one followed you." Agu turned and started walking back the way he came. "You would have noticed if you were followed."

"How?"

"Most of the guards are clumsy. And if you are the one they are tailing, they won't be able to keep their excitement from showing."

"How?" Rain glanced back despite Agu's words.

He still doesn't under Agu, at all.

"They admire you."

Agu turned the corner.

"We are leaving the Palace?" Rain inquired when he noticed they were heading towards the back door.

"Not really." Agu turned another corner. "We would have gone through the one in the palace, but I don't trust your uncle not to have guards stationed there." Agu stopped in front of a wall and started feeling it.

"Wait a minute. Aren't you the only one who knows about this?"
