Inric pauses on an out of the way platform, out of sight of Orien's home, and faces his unwilling companion. "What did Orien tell you?" "She said tha had wyrbeasts as needed looking after." Tiero keeps his gaze fixed on the floor, even when asking a question. "In the Great Library. That's on Ancient Eld?" "That is correct." Inric eyes the boy thoughtfully. "Is this something you truly wish to do?" "Will I... will I be able to come home?" He is still staring fixedly at the floor. "If you wish to return to Lisgaros and I am able to bring you, I will do so." Inric holds out a hand and Tiero lifts his own to meet it. "Then yes. I will go with thee." The air shimmers, but nobody sees them disappear.
