As Finn was lost in his own delusional comparison in his head, Althea noticed a major point with the Preceptor giving them the tracking beetles.
"Does this mean you mean to allow us roam around on our own?"
Her question brought Finn's attention back to the conversation.
That's true… He realized. For the kind of firm conviction the Preceptor showed — prepared to battle the Queen of Aethelos to the last end — simply to protect the knowledge they held, he was being awfully casual since they left Aethelos.
In fact, he hadn't so much as asked them a single question regarding what they saw, or what caused the anomaly, almost as if he didn't care, or he already knew the answer. And now, within a new city where spies and other major powers who had gotten information about what went down in Aethelos were surely plentiful, he was willingly allowing them the freedom to roam the city on their own?
It just didn't make sense.
