He repeated how no one could go in or out in a question and she shook her head, but she was too focused in her thoughts to completely register his second one. In her state, she could either have many thoughts or listen. She couldn't do both at the moment. She nodded her head in thanks at his invitation to come in. "Thank you," she said, smiling faintly. "It's fine. I don't mind a mess." She sat down carefully on the couch even though she felt like collapsing. But she was there on business and was a princess. She had to keep her posture.

Ezra looked back up to see him staring at her with a slight smile which caught her off guard. What caught her more off guard was when he introduced himself as a professional procrastinator. That was something she wasn't expecting. She smiled back, ignoring it. "Thank you Zugos," she replied. She straightened her hair a little more even though she did that a lot before knocking on the door. It was embarrassing.

She thought back for a second and realized that Zugos had asked her what happened if someone tried to leave or enter the castle. "Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't answer your question earlier," she said, apologizing. "If anyone tries to leave or enter the castle, they die. We lost a few guards who tried to leave and enter." She was sure she also almost lost her parents who probably tried to leave before seeing the guards die first, but she shook the thought away. Don't think about it. It was irrelevant now. She had to focus on getting back.
