There was another pause. Well, maybe we can hide him somewhere. You get to him, Nona, and get on him when he moves the despot off, and get out of there. He will accept you because he knows you. Another pause, during which Nona felt Seqiro"s confirmation. Um, you do know how to ride a horse?

Brother! Well, rendezvous with him anyway, and float with him or something, and meanwhile we"ll get away from here, and then we"ll see.
Nona was not sanguine about this plan, but did not know what else to do, so she agreed. She made an apology to the teacher, explaining that something extremely pressing had come up, and hurried away. Because she was a good worker, and trustworthy, the teacher agreed.
