Paige was getting a bit wary of the attention she was getting. Everyone wanted to know what she found in Pherae. The problem was that they weren't the only ones in the room. Other guests were looking on, wondering what all the commotion was about. One left the inn, perhaps to go about his day, perhaps to tell the nearest keeper of what was occurring. Either way, it wasn't safe to divulge such info in the inn.
"It's good to meet you two," she said to Lennox and Carla. "But I think we're disturbing the other guests with all this noise. Perhaps we can all meet somewhere in private. Outside of the inn." Paige was hinting that the matters they were referring to were quite private and should be treated as such. If there truly was a keeper upstairs, it may already be too late to keep their identities hidden.
In all the commotion, she wasn't able to keep track of Roland, who seemed ready to pick a fight with Satsume. As if they weren't in enough trouble already. Some things weren't going to change though. She nodded to the others to follow her out of the inn. Before she left, she spoke with Satsume and Roland, just as the latter questioned Paige's popularity.
"If you really want to know, follow me," Paige said to Roland. She then looked to Satsume, motioning towards the Hyperions and Eli that their meeting was going mobile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paige led the others to an alley way not far from the inn. It wasn't an ideal setting, but it was private enough. Paige then began to share the details of her findings.
"I'm not sure how much Shad has told you," Paige said to the Hyperions, "so I'll start from the beginning. This started in Castle Pherae. Someone was burning copies of Ostia's bloodline as I was attempting research on the topic. Whoever it was was hiding the origins of the Emperor. From the burned pages, I found his name: Emperor Coran. I was hoping to use that to derive a place of origin, but someone must have found out I was digging too deep. I had to resign my post and pursue leads elsewhere."
"We went to Santaruz, to find the author who originally copied down the Ostian lineage. ...We weren't able to save him from Imperial forces, but he was able to share something of Coran's bloodline. He has an heir, hidden from the public. He doesn't know he is the heir, perhaps he's living as a commoner. Any other information is in Ostia's library, which I can't exactly visit on a whim."
"That's why I came to Tania. We were following a former keeper by the name of Yuri. I was hoping to sway him to our side. Perhaps he can get me into Ostia to learn the truth of this heir."
Paige stayed silent for the others to absorb the information.
