"Am I trotting away or are we galloping?" Frey asked.

"Neither. He'll just follow, and I want to get out of here quickly."

Frey gave an affirmative thought and stepped forward, taking them immediately to the lounge room of the apartment Emma had been using since she had begun to be the Kraken. Emma leant forward, resting her head on Frey’s neck.

"I gather it was an interesting night, Emma. Were you found out?"

"No, but perhaps you should have toned down the magical beauty. I had men hanging off me for the entire night."

"I didn't think to add or subtract from your looks, Emma. I only caused you to be unrecognisable. Anything else was due to your existing looks."
