It was late by the time we arrived back at the city. Sawtooth accompanied me back to my temporary quarters, where the lack of a light indicated my mistress had already retired for the night.
For a moment, I thought that he had something further to say, but he turned away, giving me a curt nod before trotting off. I stood there for a moment, reflecting on my time and experiences here, a place that I had never imagined even existing.
When I went inside, I found my mistress sleeping, and before long, I had joined her.
