"Is something wrong?" Anath asked, gazing at the approaching figure on a horse. "Is that not your friend?"
"More like a stalker," Rael replied with a shrug. "No clue how he knows where I am, though. I made sure to be discreet while dealing with the nobles."
"Dealing with the nobles...?"
He nodded. "Nothing to worry about. Just know that the man up ahead isn't going to be a very fun person to be around, so when he finally arrives, I want you to get as far away from here as you can."
"Um... but can't we just run away? If you're so fast, then you can definitely outrun that horse," Anath commented.
"What's the fun in that?" Rael replied with a chuckle. "We run here, he's just going to chase us to another location. We deal with him now, and he's never going to chase us again. Pretty simple logic, if I'm being honest."
"...Very well, I'll stay at a distance then," Anath agreed reluctantly. "But are you truly going to take me to my father once this is all done?"
