Fionn walked with Connal towards the door Danw had used to make her hasty exit. He noticed Connal's gait was quicker than usual, a sign he was a little worried about the young woman.<br/><br/>"Apparently," he said quietly, "Our dear princess has decided that the best way to make allies amongst the others is by... meeting with them... alone." His fist clenched again as the thoughts of those...hands touching her hit him again. "I don't like this one bit, but what choice do we have? I have seen the way the Slaugh and Goblins operate many times in my life; they cannot be trusted." The more thoughts about what was to come filled his head, the faster his pace became. Once the pair hit the stairway, Fionn was practically sprinting. Within mere moments, he had reached the top of the stairs, and paused for a moment, to regain his composure.
