"Nora, let's take a walk." Instead of sitting in his chair and mulling over what could have caused the bad feeling in his gut other than old milk, Zach decided to get up and maybe calm his nerves with the cold air of the winter paradise of the Labyrinth of Vidur.
Nora walked a third of a step behind him and the other maids followed further behind. Zach had only asked Nora to take a walk with him, but there was no way the others would leave his side. But they gave him and Nora some distance.
Zach stopped for a moment as he opened the door and the freezing wind pierced his barrier and whipped his bare face. He strengthened the barrier around him and Nora slightly as she grabbed his arm, stabilizing him.
"I really feel like an old man in moments like this," Zach commented.
"...I am sure your recovery won't take too long, Young master."
"I hope so. I don't mind being pampered like this, though."
