The adults all seemed to think Lowe was an annoyance, and a tiny burden on the group. At least that’s what Soldier Girl and Mr. Is Totally Not a Thief’s looks seemed to say to Lowe. He didn’t care about that, what he did care about was avoiding Kafaara at all costs. There’s no way he could go back now. Not when he had some stuff to figure out, like the maps and the mysterious knights who killed Maruna. He wanted to keep the maps a secret, but he knew doing so would mean risking going to Kafaara. [i]The very first place they’ll look is the church, and some old Minister is bound to recognize me.[/i] 

[color=FF6347]“We can’t go to Kafarra, at least not yet anyway’s.”[/color] He told the group. [color=FF6347]“It’s sort of blocked off from everyone, at least I think it is.[/color] [color=ff6347]Minister Florentus never really went into details about the city’s walls and gates, but I do know an alternative solution!”[/color] He’d hope they’d believe that lie. Lowe actually had no idea about whether or not the city was open to people. After all, he never left the church’s walls, what would he know about the city’s foot traffic? He pulled the Cartography set out of his bag, and set it on the ground for them to see. 

[color=ff6347]“There’s maps in here that lead to weird places.[/color] [color=ff6347]I can only read them a little though, I’m still learning.”[/color] He laughed nervously. [color=ff6347]“What if one of these leads to where we need to go?[/color] [color=ff6347]Or better yet, food!”[/color] He was still hungry, and in dire need of a cake, a nap, and a warm hearth soon. All this standing around and receiving  snide glances from peeved adults was making him sleepy. Lowe knew the looks from earlier were totally disingenuous. [i]I’m a treasure, and they all know it.[/i]
