“Maybe it would be better if you stayed inside, for the time being,” Anaxantis said. “I didn't like the look of some of the captains last evening.”

“So, he has noticed too,” Ehandar thought.

“Couldn't I go with you? I would be safe as long as you're with me.”

“I thought we agreed that the point of all this was to prevent awkward rumors from spreading. It would defeat the purpose if you were to tag along all the time. No, I'm afraid it's out of the question.”

Ehandar felt his spirits sink.

“So, what you're saying is that I'm a prisoner here?”

Anaxantis looked at him and embraced him.

“No, of course not. I just want you to be safe. I don't want to have to worry all day long that something might happen to you. Here I can protect you. I'll tell the guards to let nobody in, except for the servants.”

Ehandar looked around and realized that his world had suddenly become very, very small.

“Help yourself to my books,” Anaxantis said while he girded on his sword. “I wish I could stay with you, but I have things to do.”

“Things to do. No further explanation. No use any longer keeping me in the loop, is there?”

When he had put on his mantle, Anaxantis kissed him.

“You were so brave, yesterday,” he said softly. “Oh, and I will think of a new name for you.”

“A new name?”

“Well, you renounced not only your lineage, but also your name. So, you have no name for the moment. In fact, you have nothing to call your own anymore. We should have a name to refer to you in official documents and such.”

“Is this really necessary?” Ehandar asked unhappily.

“I'm afraid so,” Anaxantis replied resolutely.

When he was at the door of the apartment, he turned.

“Listen, when I said to not leave the room, that was only a suggestion. Of course you can do as you like. But I wish you would stay inside. Nevertheless, any time you want, you can leave.”

“Except, you can't,” he thought.

“No, that's all right. I'll stay here, for the time being,” Ehandar said demoralized.

“All right, then. Sorry, but I have to go.”

Ehandar followed him with his eyes until he closed the door behind him.
