The door opened again, much more soon that Cecily expected it to. She could still hear steel smashing against each other in the distance, so who would be looking into the bedrooms? She kept quiet, hoping not to be noticed as the man entered, making his way to the window. He closed and latched the frame shut.

"More importantly, is there plan to flee this town?" Cecily inquired. As she asked, an image from earlier crossed her mind. "And who is that inquisitor?"
