Julan had precious little time to get his own story completely straight in his mind. He had no choice but to change it at least slightly from what he originally intended. He had heard Aurana tell his father that she had come after them, so saying that they happened upon each other by chance would be an obvious lie. And since Aurana was not allowed to leave the house, there would have had to have been a reason to make her leave it. They would have at least had to have passed near the house for her to have seen them. He just hoped there was not something else he was not thinking about. If so, he would have to think on his feet. 

"We did go down to the canal to have a bath, yeah. Aurana was the one that came to us, like she said earlier. I didn't ask why; I guess she saw us out the window or something when we were near the house? But it was easy to tell we were related, since her name is Aurana Aetius. That's your family." He explained.  

Julan desperately wanted to get them onto a different topic. He was interested in hearing what Aurana had to say about her family, and how they felt about the past. Janius' parents did seem to care quite a bit more about him than he thought they did. Even the opinions of Julan's grandfather were not as nice as he was expecting, he still definitely cared. But, Janius also did not seem to be enthusiastic to talk about the past, and Aurana was probably as just as curious about them. "I know she probably has a lot of questions about you, and all of us. I'm curious about her too. Why is it that your parents won't let you do anything, Aurana?" He asked.
