the-self-proclaimed-princeâ:
Orla didnât think she could sleep if she tried, but she accepted the offer none the less. It would be rude not to, it being so late. She nodded. âThank you.âÂ
âI shouldnât have shown up so late. Sorry for waking you up. I just didnât know where else to go? I mean, I could go to Ceres and live with my grandparents, but I donât know how to get there and it would cause a lot of problems if anyone knew I was there. I know, because I asked my imna about it and she said she wished things were different too, but that she couldnât do anything either. And like, Avinâs already disappointed in Imna for how I turned out, so I know heâd just be mad at her if I asked. Does the law about sanctuaryâŠâ She hesitated to ask, worried of what the answer might be. But she had to know. If there was any chance she might be made to go home in the morning she needed to know now. ââŠdoes it apply to eldinas too? Or is that just a slave thing?â
âIt does, in specific cases,â Enya replied. This wasnât one of them. Simply not wishing to be married did not warrant sanctuary. Still-- she would see what Turlough had to say about it.
