After the news of Gunther's survival
and the assumption that this was in fact the same Gunther they had
known years before, the bushy haired man turned the discussion back
to their deal. After some discussion about what was expected of her,
Les agreed to think about it. She hardly believed her own ears,
perhaps it was exhaustion and the need to return home. But they
agreed to let her think about it. Preparations were made for her
return home. She returned to her chamber to change back into her own
clothes, which had been washed and mended, then she was led back out
to the closed carriage she'd ridden in on. In the light of day, Les
could see that the courtyard was in fact enclosed by enormously tall
dark walls. Grant and Gilroy walked her out to the carriage. The tall
woman and Talon were waiting for her inside as she bade farewell to
Grant and stepped inside. Then they were off at that same agonizingly
slow speed.
