They stood up and bowed to the ArchBishop and waited for their dismissal from his office. Following a few moments of intense glaring between themselves, Manguino gave them leave and they left.
Orren walked around to the front of the desk and made his way to the window and looked down to the interior of the quadrangles where many novices reclined, near the fountain.
"Can you believe their supposed travels?" Orren asked but more as a statement.
"You never know with the human animal, my loyal friend. Men have lied since their
dawning. There is no such thing as truth, only variations of an accepted lie!" commented Manguino.
"We should have asked how they survived their passage through the Dark Forest." said Orren, then he gave a little laugh. "Maybe the gremlins helped them through."
Whatever the case may be, Orren, I am not certain that they should be totally mistrusted. They do not appear to have a threatening quality about them."
"I still believe that we should keep them both under surveillance for a while."
"Alright. Do that, for your own benefit and arrange for me a social evening. I want to celebrate my safety."
Orren wanted to disapprove his request but he knew that Manguino would only get someone else to do it for him.
