Aurum's eyes grow wide and she slumps against the wall, her hand over her mouth. She blinks twice, and wipes her eyes. She collects herself, but when she speaks, her voice is trembling.

"You have to find Father.  Please.  You have to tell him.  I don't know of he's at the conclave, but if he isn't, the Regent will know where he is.  I'll tell mother later, after you're gone.  She won't take it well.  But please, be careful, Lording."

"Um, er...Rose.  My name is Rose, ma'am.  Yep." She looks embarrassed, almost ashamed, and looks  at Hound for help.
