"You can get onto the same carriage as me only right before departure. No... actually, only after we will pass the main gate to the estate. Go wait in front of it."
"HUH?!" *thump*
Miriette declared and pushed Grazio outside, causing him to fall on his butt and let out a flabbergasted gasp.
"If you want to know why the coachman isn't back yet... Well, Since he announced that you were the one to pick me up, I thought that he was a con-man and knocked him out. He should be back to his senses in half an hour or so... so be thankful that it's not raining."
*THUMP*

Grazio's first reflex was to raise his voice in protest but thankfully for himself, he managed to bite his tongue right in time.
