The one on the left looked up at him and pointed out the door. Dale swallowed and nodded. Why isn't Lyra here yet? It had to be getting pretty late, although the drawings Twilight had shown him yesterday hadn't given a timeframe for him to depart. It was slightly worrisome that his guard contingent had been beefed up: assuming that the door to their hospital room was still guarded, that meant that there were at least three new guards now, and a guess at how the military mind worked made it pretty certain to Dale that there were in fact more than three new guards; there were probably over a dozen.
