Lauralye looked at him as he asked about her father, "If you can so easily say that you could go with our crown for no reason other than it is convenient. You could just as easily do the same for a different crown if it proves more convenient."

When he mentioned his secret, Lauralye made no attempts to find out what it was. People deserved their secrets, they were theirs to keep and choose to tell. She stood when he finished talking and adjusted her shawl, "I should go before someone finds me down here... I will try and convince my father to release to... I cannot make any promises though."

She stood and brushed off any dirt that had clung to her when she fell. She nodded to Robert, "I hope to see you out of her soon."

With that she snuck back along the wall and out of the dungeon, to speak with her father.
