"That old thing? Yeah, my father used to read it to me every night when I was young."

He rifled through the pages, raising his eyebrows. "You know, some of the stuff in here... there are nobles who consider some of the prophecies to be legitimate. That they're going to come true eventually."

"Well, they always say... 'Within every legend is a grain of truth.' Although, I admit it's rather ridiculous. I mean, look at these-- they're prophesizing wars, alchemists, a wizarding mage for Camelot. Ridiculous."

"Wars might not be outside the range of possibility, but a wizarding mage? It is quite ridiculous."

"As if magic were even legal in Camelot," he snorted. "If any mage were to even approach the castle, my father would have them executed."

Eliza nodded. "I have heard of people trying alchemy, though. It's technically a science, so legally, they can't be executed but many people see it as magic anyway."

He sighed, expression darkening. "I've been to my father's councils. He often discusses outlawing alchemy. Creating gold could create serious economic problems in Camelot."

"That's true. And with people trying to find the Philosopher's Stone, or make the Elixir of Life... Immortality just seems wrong."

He shivered. "I will never understand alchemists."

"Neither will I," she sighed. "Anyway, I'm getting tired. It's probably close to midnight by now. Come on." Eliza grabbed a couple thick blankets, heading back out into the main room of the house.

Alain followed silently, still vaguely wondering about the prophecies. There was one, about a future king... it always made him feel sick to his stomach. But it was ridiculous to think that it was a real prophecy. Right?

Eliza shook out the blankets to clear the dust from them. She laid the thicker one down on the floor near her own straw mattress, handing Alain the second one. "I know it's not exactly luxurious, but I guess it'll have to do for a few days, or...until you can go back to the castle."

"Alright, good." She put a gentle hand on his shoulder, returning the smile. "Goodnight, Alain."

The falconer retired to her own straw mattress, pulling the blanket up to her chin. "We'll be getting up early for the market to avoid the crowds," she told him, blowing out the candle.

By then, he was already asleep, breathing slowly.

Eliza smiled at him, laying her head down and falling asleep quickly. (Timeskip to the next morning?)

(Sure)
Alain opened his eyes, just enough to reveal a crack of pale green iris. Suddenly, they snapped open. Where am I?! This isn't the castle! What-- but then he saw Eliza, and relaxed. Oh, right. I remember now...
