Arya and Esla spent the rest of the day trying (and failing) to design the new pentagon construct. Though they didn't make much headway, Esla had discovered an interesting section in the book that vaguely described how the runes interacted with each other. Sadly, it was a bit of a stretch to say that having such information would make their project easier by any considerable means, though it never hurt any to know more.
The family began preparing for their journey that night, though this time packing for their trip didn't require much from them. Being the Count's personal guests, and also being related to his prized Junior Court Mage, they got the same treatment as his children, in fact, Armin was even receiving better treatment than Lance himself. The maids packed a few of the clothes that Percival had ordered custom-made for the family since most of the wares they had brought along were... unsuitable for a place as esteemed as Belgravia, to say the least.
