A knock on her bedroom door paused the conversation they were having, and Anya swallowed a bite of egg before moving towards the door. The guard on the other side bowed deeply, expressing his apologies. 

"We've captured someone sneaking around the castle grounds, he's in the main hall. I was told I could find Lord Cromwell here with you." He said, glancing past her to see the Head knight enjoying his breakfast for dinner. 

"He's eating, I'll accompany you for now." She glanced over her shoulder to Robert. 

"Join us when you're finished?" She prompted, and took the short nod as a yes before heading down to where the sleuth was being held.

Arin looked rough. His lip was swollen and blood trickled out of his nose from where the yard had slammed into him, and his vision was beginning to darken. The iron clanked around his wrists tightened and chafed and every movement was beginning to be torture as he stood chained in the main hall. A guard went to fetch some Robert Cromwell and Arin was held at spear point against the wall. 

"Think I'm not going anywhere, now would you mind... Not stabbing me to death. I rather enjoy my life, thank you." Arin said, calmly facing the guards. 

"Shut your filthy mouth." A guard said, shoving the point ever closer to his neck. Arin pressed himself flat against the wall as the woman from before walked into the room, and he almost fainted. 

"What the hell?" He said softly.

The Queen saw the small ring of guards first, one holding a spear to the man's neck though she couldn't see the victim. Her tongue clicked, and the trio turned to look at her. 

"Geez, that's a bit barbaric isn't it? For someone who wandered onto the property?" She asked, intentionally trying to make the stupid decision to fashion a spear for the event known. The trio stood at attention, and stepped aside to give Anya a clear view of the man claimed to her wall. 

"Well that's interesting. Twice in one day, Arin?"

"I apologize. I didn't realize what this place was. I couldn't stand the cell. It was too small for someone with my standards." Arin said, his lips beginning to form a smile. His tongue began pushing the small wire piece farther behind his teeth.

"So where am I, exactly? I took a few wrong turns getting here." Arin remarked, rolling his wrist to try to get relief.

Her silver eyes flickered to the way he rolled his wrists, and she had a feeling he would escape the cuffs soon enough. 

"Zahrada, the capitol of Astoria. Specifically, the main dining hall of Queen Durkhan's palace." She tilted her head. "Where were you _trying_ to go?"

"Anywhere. I enjoy walking but usually I have landmarks to guide me. I have never been here before though. Bad luck or good timing I really am not sure yet." Arin said, his nimble fingers beginning their work figuring out the locking mechanism on the handcuffs. When the queen's dazzling eyes flickered over his hands he frowned and stopped, holding up his hands.

 "I'm not doing anything. I won't escape." He said, hanging his head.
