Anastasia allowed the man to take Melor from her, "Careful... He doesn't like people to touch his stomach."

She watched at the man took her dog outside, surely to prepare for the ride to the capital. When the man turned to her, telling her that she needn't worry about her parents, both of whom would be allowed to see her as she wished. She smiled and let out a sigh of relief, she had been worried that her parents would not be able to come see her and she would be too busy to see them. She turned around and hugged them, "Goodbye..." she whispered to them both. 

They each gave her a kiss on the cheek and smiled, "We'll see you soon," Fletcher said as he released her. Anastasia smiled softly and grabbed her bag from where she left it on the ground. She walked over to the man and nodded at him, "I guess we should go," she began to walk out the door as she looked over her shoulder at him, "You know, you haven't said your name... And I think I should learn the name of the man who the Queen chose to come and take me to the palace."
