When Draceana came back to Locust she quickly realized she probably shouldn’t have stayed out as long as she did and while not furious it was pretty obvious she wasn’t happy with her arriving so late. However it didn’t take long for Locust to seem calmer and unbothered despite her earlier response, “you were supposed to be here earlier to help,” she said.

It took a moment for Draceana to remember what she was helping out with, she had been far more focused on Amarillo and waffles and the possibility of staying here instead that she had completely forgotten. “I was busy,” was all she responded with sitting down slowly realizing this was going to be longer than a few minutes of discussion.

“With what,” Locust asked slowly.

Draceana thought for a moment taking a while to form any sort of lie, “I was trying to study the town, find anything we could deal with before we left.”

Locust frowned for a moment not seeming to believe her but she let it slide for now, “what exactly did you find?”

Draceana stared at her struggling for moment to avoid anything relating to Amarillo, “some murderers and thieves, I heard someone might have been murdered a few days ago.” She looked trying to keep the obvious signs of her regret for mentioning it hidden.

“We’ll look into it later,” she finally said. “We’ll be leaving after that though.” Then she let Draceana go back to her room.

During the early morning Draceana left to go meet Amarillo unaware that Locust was following her.
