The mooring of the Raven Cloud is quick and efficient. An official comes to ask questions, but Arvid shows him a somewhat tattered document and he departs, satisfied. Inric and Mathea disembark, and Arvid turns to them.
"So you're going to the Seminary, are you?" he asks.
"We are," Mathea says.
"To demand Ylva be handed over? Good luck! You're going to need it." He is smiling crookedly. Inric agrees with his assessment, but this is not his quarrel. Mathea bristles.
"I need nothing from you," she declares, stalking away down the boardwalk. Inric follows.
Neither Inric nor Mathea notice Arvid shadowing them as they climb the stairs to the walkway to enter Ardrigor's main gate.
