The little pause between her words and his is irritating, to say the least. He grabs at every bit of power he possibly can. He's such a cad. When finally she finds herself released from his presence, Naiobe turns and walks away at a stately pace that's very fast. She all but grinds her teeth, moving out of Corwin's sight and down the hall a ways. There are always a lot of people in the Baron's castle, but it's difficult for one as remarkable as Naiobe to lose herself even in that. She waits until she's out of sight of Corwin and her father, then immediately wheels to seek out her eldest brother, questioning the servants as to Brom's whereabouts and storming off to go see him. In her ire, she all but drags the poor dryad behind her, having almost entirely forgotten about the forest spirit on her pretty leash.
