Shard arrived at the doctor's early in the morning and did not plan to go to Midshire Fort in the morning, because he was sending Iluna off in the morning. Last night, after going home, Luviya, who was doing astrology on the third floor, told Shard that the Sun Church had officially decided to send Iluna to Midshire Fort on a Steam Hover Zeppelin this afternoon.
According to the wind direction this season and the weather along the way divined by the Prophet's Society, Iluna and her group should arrive in Mountain City by Monday during the day. Since she was leaving and it was uncertain when she would return, Luviya decided to see Iluna off at No. 6, Saint Delan Square.
That is why Shard had come so early to disturb the doctor; he needed to quickly head home soon.
