She watched Satsume enter one of the shops and nestled down on the street to make herself comfortable. Although the thought of waiting for her retainer crossed her mind, the consequences of it was muddled in her fatigue. Perhaps it would have been better to have rented a carriage so that she did not have to walk so much. Her soles already ached, but Cecily didn't dare suggest slowing down. She could tolerate the discomfort for now. The noble was slowly drifting off to sleep when she heard Satsume's voice again.
Cecily gave a heavy sigh in response to Satsume's question. "Of course I am. But you must not let me keep you from doing as I requested. Do what you need to do: I will not stray far."
She tugged on her hood to ensure that it covered her face, as well as to remind Satsume of her relative safety. There is no indication that the assassins have caught onto her whereabouts, but she also needs to avoid making it any easier for them.
