Getting an entire grasp on Roland Deschain was likely impossible and Nariko was, as a rule, far more concerned with the idea of creating wars she could win, not a series of useless battles. So maybe she couldn't read every little sign but she did trust her instincts, the ones that said that even though he sometimes had the communicative range of an overly thoughtful old man, he might have been okay with hearing all that. She didn't need anything else, and so it made her happy.

The library looked utterly normal. There were a few residents lingering here and there but even from the first floor Nariko saw the turned sign on Matilda's door. To his wordless question she could only shrug, and look over at one of the guards. Still holding his hand (and by default, somewhat leading him with her) Nariko went over to one and simply asked. Bert and Kaine were easy to spot after all, one was a known resident and the other was … Cuthbert.

"Why would they go to the Farcade Gate?" She hadn't meant to ask the guard but he shrugged anyway, his armored helmet the very definition of apathetic. "Not that it matters. They wouldn't have a reason to go to Farcade early, and Kaine wouldn't go back to whatever is left of Aerie." And there were only two paths. Nariko stifled her concern but suddenly she was walking pretty damn fast herself.
