Chapter 21: The Price of Going Home
The runner was still breathing hard when he reached the scriptorium threshold.
'My lord,' he said. 'Word from the north road.'
Adrian turned from the table.
Idris set down his cup before the man could speak again.
'Ah,' he said. 'The vampire hospitality tour continues. I had begun to think they kept you in a box.'
Noah almost smiled.
'They keep me in a prince,' he said.
'That is worse.' Idris turned his blind face toward Adrian's voice. 'You brought him here. That is the first decent thing I have heard about you.'
Adrian said nothing.
The scriptorium was warm and crowded with paper.
Bundles of it, stacked to the shelf line, smelling of dust and lamp oil.
Noah had not stood in a room like this since the night he was taken.
He put his hand flat on the nearest shelf and let the old paper warm under his palm.
Idris found his hand and held it.
'Your gentleness was never the weakness they told you it was,' Idris said. 'I taught you for six winters. I would know.'
Noah's throat closed.
Adrian laid a folded page on the table between them.
'My father's offer,' he said. 'Written and sealed. It came this morning.'
Noah looked at the paper.
'Read it,' he said.
Adrian read it.
