"Uh . . It's. . "
"Yes?" I heard him say.
"It's snowing here." I pointed out with embarrassment and pity, "It snows here too." Where was I to go?
I said slight laughter behind me and I could tell that I was using him to a great degree.
"My dear I told you that North has snow all year around. Of course there is snow outside the palace."
" Bu . .but. . " Even though I wanted to refuse to give up on my escape attempt, I knew that I was not going far from here. The doubts that previously served in my mind about how I was going to survive outside the unrest and a new possibility came in that if there was no capital what was I going to do in the first place.
No capital meant that there was no one to help me out of the kingdom and if there was no one to help me out of the kingdom then I was just going to travel miles and miles of snow.
