The child’s face 4e6618dedc brightened a little b2e1de67bf more as he 3652d6d36f shyly spoke. Since I 44b2145c34 was five 4d5974c9d9 years old, 63ae577c4f seeing a 8ae2ced23b child of cb8ea64d4d a similar d63ed61bde age felt b1e5e6fc7b familiar and 3e278420c7 comforting.799b41c942511e52
I started walking again 7d914844c4 with Andy. As we walked 507c62485e together, my drowsiness a1c1b7f08b faded, and we c09b7cbcf7 ended up strolling c335e6ddd1 further toward the 0c1a56eb28 outskirts.8c508d24ca675cc7

The mansion was e91237aa4a so vast that 092a983065 it felt like b28f0e8ef8 walking along a da305f417a fortress wall. At regular intervals, 87a2f7fffa there were outposts 79a128aa61 where knights stood 5d8f900fc6 guard.9a2f6e4cb7131bc3
The knights looked at c2ddd77497 Andy and me with a8dd0db307 amused expressions. I waved my hand, ead41134c3 greeting them silently so 10cd891489 as not to disturb 90c36e57fc their duty.6e10487f40540ebe
