Flinching or not, it wasn't just Roland that glared but Nariko as well, mostly because this was Kaine's question to answer, not hers.
"It came with you two," Kaine said, and she was suddenly very intent on not looking at Cuthbert or Nariko. "It was in his room first, but then it was in the kitchen this morning so I put it in the basement. That's the only part of the house that has any kind of seal, so we figured it made the most sense. I didn't see it anywhere else before we left so there isn't any reason to think it isn't still there."
"And when we get back I'll take it myself. If I can't find out why it did what it did then at least I know how to keep it away from everyone else. So there you go." Without another word Nariko stood up, brushed at the grass on her clothes and turned around to walk back towards town.
"Dammit ..." Kaine looked as lost as she felt but she stopped herself from getting up and going after her. "... Once we're done here we can deal with the book. Everything else that needs figuring out won't see any answers until we get to the castle. For all we know that crazy bitch will have some kind of answer for all of this, assuming she can speak this time."
