Roman stood in the middle of the cemetery, amid the graves of the dead, and soon he noticed one of the staff of Veteris headed towards where he stood. It was Mr. Borell, and he walked with his back straightened and his chin slightly lifted up.
"Moltenore," said Mr. Borrell on seeing Roman standing a few steps away from Piper Martin's grave. "I didn't see you after you had left the forest with Maximus and Piper."
"I thought to spend some time away from people," replied Roman, and he noticed the bottle in the vampire's hand. "Is that for Piper?"
Mr. Borrell nodded his head, "Yes. Dante wanted to rebury Piper in a few hours from now."
