Watching as Kallen boarded the train, and then as the train departed the station until even the smoke it spewed had dissipated, Perfikot finally rose from his seat and turned to look at the station master who was standing respectfully and hardly daring to breathe.
"Remember the faces of these people, especially that woman. If they appear again, do not alert them, but immediately send someone to inform me, understood?" Perfikot gave orders with the authority of the Lord of the North without any further explanation.
The station master, feeling as if granted a reprieve, nodded quickly and assured repeatedly, "Rest assured, my Lord Count! I will keep a close watch on these people, and should there be any news, I will inform you at once! Oh, no! I will report to you! Please forgive my improper wording!"
