Nikhil pauses, half-hidden behind a nearby house, and points to the big building across from them. There's a wall around the area, with a gate, and two people standing by the gate. They are definitely not armed guards.
"That is where Hian is?" Inric asks.
"That's where they took her," Nikhil confirms. "Go on! I'll be behind you. I just need a few minutes."
Inric walks out to the pair of gatekeepers, already planning to ask for directions to the city gates. As he approaches, one smiles at him. "Can I help you, pilgrim?"
Before he can say anything, the other gasps in shock. "Wait! Are you - Are you from the Great Library?" Inric starts in surprise as the other presses closer. "You came! You came at last!"
