Since Zaos's magic crossbows were no good, he brought an ordinary rapid-fire crossbow in the town. That way, he will leave traces behind. While he will have to waste some time enhancing the bolts, they still could be as fast as the magic ones.
Zaos waited for a while, but Kat showed up while driving a wagon around three in the morning. That was really helpful… Now Zaos will have the chance to let Milliendra sleep in a place that can mimic a bed while he fights.
"Are you really going to bring her?" Kat asked.
"I can't leave her alone while her mother is away, she will cry and that idea alone makes my heart grow cold," Zaos replied.
"What a doting parent…" Kat frowned. "Where is your wife? Is she the one tailing those three?"
"Yes…" Zaos replied.
"Quite the odd couple you two are," Kat said.
