"Where are we going?" Arlette asked as her and Caius's arms were locked together. The large double doors had been opened and now they walked through a Hall as they headed even deeper inside the main building.
Arlette's question didn't come from a place of nervousness. She was really just making conversation as it really set in that she was here, in Caius's home, as his guest.
"I thought it prudent to greet the man of the house first," Caius said lightly.
"Oh," Arlette said and nodded, "Right."
Caius leaned his head closer to hers and whispered.
"Relax."
They didn't walk for long. At least Arlette didn't think they walked for long because whatever distance they needed to cover to get to their destination would never be enough. If it were up to her, they might as well walk forever. That didn't sound too bad with Caius's arm locked with hers as it was.
Caius knocked on the door and Lucian's voice came from behind it.
"Come in."
