Gideon went to see Norah at Floryn Tavern. He had some explaining things to do. The Siren Ensemble would be leaving the capital the day after tomorrow.

Norah pursed her lips, eyeing Gideon with intrigue. "I didn't expect that you were close to the third princess of Averion. It is so unlikely of you to associate yourself with a member of the royal family. How did you meet the princess?"

"I saved her life once," Gideon responded. "I didn't mean to cause trouble for your group. Did they reprimand you last night?"
