Della provided Chara with a name in Scione of someone who could help them secure passage and Chara set off immediately. She took one of the boys with her as they travelled with the ox and cart. Once she had set something in place, she would leave him there while she returned for the others.

It was an uneventful journey if not for the constant encounters with the Spartan supply lines which fortunately paid her little heed. Chara has no idea how long the campaign would last. Ideally she would be gone by the time Nicias returned; although the campaign could take months like it had in Pylos. Unfortunately she didn't know enough about their business to say. She should have asked Nicias before he left, but it hadn't occurred to her at the time. She recognized that she needed to consider things more carefully. She couldn't just think of the immediate plan, but also of the things that could go wrong so she could react when things needed to change.

There were obvious signs of unrest in Scione as well. No one seemed immune to this war between Sparta and Athens. She felt anger in the people. Everybody had to pick a side and Scione was no exception, no matter how much they wanted to stay out of it. They were particularly unlucky being controlled by Athens but bordering their powerful neighbor, Sparta.

Chara had no doubt that there would be Spartan spies everywhere, but hopefully they would pay little attention to someone like her. She decided that the best course of action was to delude herself into thinking that everything was just normal and she should just get on with her business. If she started thinking about it, she would start looking for suspicious characters, probably giving herself a more suspicious appearance in the process.
