He didn't quite look at Rath as they started walking. "What would you like to do? We could grab a bite to eat at a pub or rent a room for the night and eat in."

Rath tamped down on his racing nerves. If he could yell at the Master of the Treasury on stage in front of everyone then he could suffer through a party for a few hours. "Well, we're going to need to rent a room anyway, because I'm not changing my clothes here on the street."
