Emerald dodges her questions, and instead asks how close they are to the castle.

"Oh! The castle and it's city is basically on top of this hill! Err… Well you can't see the hill because of the trees, but it's up there I swear! I'd say it's… Two, maybe three miles away? When Venator returns he can tell you for sure. I mean, after you answer his questions and all."

Emerald asks when she thinks he'll be returning.

"Soon I hope. He said we'd get to stay at an Inn while he-" Alacris shuts her mouth suddenly and looks nervously at Emerald, "-does… His thing."

"Thing?" Emerald, asks.
