Nathan Free, Natalie Bound

I skipped out onto the street, looking around for Elica. I had asked her to meet me exactly here! There was no earl in sight, nor her retinue, nor any mountain of packages I had been expecting to have to ferry along in multiple trips. I stood with my hands on my hips, staring up and down the way, either of the roads at this intersection. To the north, west, south, and east, there was no sign of my roommate or her hirelings.
