"I am willing to live wherever, Aimee. If Noah wants to stay at your house instead of the Inn, I'm okay with that."

"Yeah," she commented. "I was warned about it, but in my uncertainty, I just couldn't be sure..." It was something she kicked herself about and felt sad, something Noah would feel should he still be awake. She felt partly responsible for not urging the guards to be more alert that night, for not suggesting people stick together, for not having armed herself. It was clear to see on her face that it bothered her. All the people she consoled afterwards, it was as if she was apologizing to them, not just because she was sad, but because she felt responsible.

"I don't feel like we'd be a true burden. I think your family would love to have us there from what I've seen. I just don't want to put you out any food or anything. I especially don't want to kick Ryon out of his home. No...I think it's best we just stay at the inn, but I'll let Noah decide. I'm kind of open whichever way, like I said."
