Chapter 515

They met Oren in the upper corridors, a sour expression on his face. "I assume they're finished with us, since we have to pay if we want to stay."

"Sounds like it," Jorick agreed. "You seem disappointed."

"Why would I be? We're checking out today."

Katelina wished they could say the same. If it wasn't for Jorick's stupid report-

"Where will you go?" Jorick asked.

Oren's frown deepened. "I'd thought to use Micah's den until we found a new one, but he and Loren are staying here."

Katelina jolted in surprise. "Why?"

Oren shrugged and went on, "We'll find a suitable place until something more permanent can be procured. I assume you'll be here?"

"Only for a day or two," Jorick replied.

Oren nodded. "I'll call with the new location."

They stood in uncomfortable silence. Finally Jorick said, "Safe travels. If you'll excuse us? Breakfast."
