It was, yes, Blackwell's guidance that took the pair further from the pressing crowds.  So many people made it hard to talk, to communicate at all, really.  It was good when they reached the wall, and managed to keep out of the swarm of people altogether.<br/><br/><strong>"A mile's not too far,"</strong>Blackwell said, and then repeated Sora:<strong>"<em>Now that the cathedral is up</em>, I'll expect to see you around, too."</strong>She smiled a bit, and looked off to the crowd.  She was a bit relieved to be out of there; not that she had a problem with a crowds, really, but it wasn't really the place to be<em>now</em>.<br/><br/>And she moved the couple just a bit more -- following the wall of the building, and she led Sora into the alley space between it and another building -- not far from the square at all, just so that they were completely out of the way of the bustle of the crowd.  Blackwell leaned against the wall of the building in the alley, and kept Sora close.<strong>"You could just stay,"</strong>she suggested.<strong>"There's space in Sandpoint, and it's where I am,"</strong>she said, perfectly content to sell herself as the single most important quality of the growing town.  Not mentioned: the likelihood that Blackwell might catch sight of another pretty girl a week down the line and forget all about 'the girl she met at the fair'.
