Hey, Dukki! =D
Defal: No, I understood that 
4I: Of course.
I found it =D
Benedict smiled bitterly. How ironic, if he were to lose Autumn now, after they had survived so much. He knew Kachallion had known about Jheran's rebellion. Was his final betrayal a warning to Rambarath and Charne? Benedict thought so. That made it indirectly Jheran's fault, which explained the tenative impression that Autumn had recieved. But ultimately the fault was Kachallion's.
Benedict had no doubt that Kachallion's actions had pushed Jheran and Tephro into open rebellion, if just for Autumn's sake. Autumn hadn't even been fully healed ... in the end, he had agreed that they should leave; he had been frightened of what Kachallion might do next. But by then it had been too late, far too late. Kachallion's treachery had been complete.
Now what?
The obvious answer tho that question: get out, and get Autumn. Of course the next question was how. He couldn't exactly wait for someone to spring him - that could take weeks if not more - and he had a bad feeling about what would happen if he didn't get out before his captors returned.
No way out ...
The words mocked him as he stood.
He would find a way.
More tomorrow.
