The capital was busy at this time of the day. Cass was a little surprised, but also, he tended to live away from the rest of society and had others who would do things for him if he asked. He had forgotten how loud people could be after spending time away from others.
That was a surprising detail, another thing he noticed that was different even from last week.
When the carriage pulled over outside of the tavern, Byron was the one who stepped out first. He even held a hand out to Gideon, to Gideon's surprise. He was acting not even like Lucian, but as something even more other. He was acting as a dragon who was a servant to another.
Cass was sure that if any other dragon saw him they would be horrified, not knowing Cass' connection with Byron and how seriously Byron took it. Cass almost smirked to himself before he considered that he might have to soothe Gideon. He turned to offer some comfort, but Edgar was already doing it.
