"Sinow?" I say, my voice still a whisper.

"Ven? What are you doing here?" Sinow asks as he stands up and brushes himself off.

"That's my question. What are you doing here?" I switched on my flashlight again, pointing it at Sinow to double-check.

"Exploring," Sinow explains with a hint of annoyance.

Dude, seriously? I told Prince Yule to keep him occupied. What the hell was he doing? Wait…is that why there was a security guard here? Did Prince Yule have him followed. Uh, I guess if I want things done right, I have to do them myself.

"Now, answer my question: why are you here?" Sinow asks again.

"Haaa…exploring." I lie.

Sinow doesn't believe me but doesn't press the matter further.

"I see your friend is here again." Sinow points to Dr. Trevon.
