"Speaking of sisters, Aeshe will be here soon. She's been coming by daily around this time. She'll be glad to see you." "You're going? Right now?" "I was only waiting for you." Aldus settles the bad over his shoulder and ties the straps together. "Go and see Father Gethyl when you're ready." "I - I will. Thank you. I, um, I'll miss you..." "I'll be back, in time," Aldus says, now desperate to escape.
