They were already riding the timer too close for his liking, but it seemed that the day had yet more annoyances in store before they could even get to the castle to [i]prepare[/i] for the Coronation. Not even during the ceremony proper. They hadn't even had the chance to prepare for the damn thing. Were people just going to stop them every single step of the way now? He'd gotten somewhat accustomed to people just coming up and asking for favors from Arya because she was the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, but this was getting ridiculous.

On top of being one more annoyance in a day chock full of annoyances, Atkin really didn't like the way he was looking at Arya. The apprentice wasn't going to say anything, because he seemed to already be familiar with her and the old man, but Atkin decided he'd keep an eye on this guy. Make sure he didn't do anything unsavory.

[color=F2541F]"Another one?"[/color] he asked incredulously. Being stopped from making their way to the tower was aggravating enough, but it being another warning of grave danger drove him up a wall. Just how awful was this day going to get before the midway point? [color=F2541F]"Do you think this is another warning about the [b]Queste[/b] or whatever, or is this about something else entirely? I have no idea what the beskochaki kamentsi is,"[/color] he asked, turning towards his master, face now firmly embedded within his palm.
