The snake too is spared any question. Exceptionally convenient circumstances for Richard Dickerson, escaping scrutiny on account of greater disaster bearing down on them.
Her expression turns only briefly questioning. Despite coming here, banging on his door hard enough that she might have shattered something or woken the rest of the hall, she hadn't exactly considered that she might gain entry.
But the uncertainty passes. She crosses the threshold. Derrica has come in bare feet as well. She is wrapped in slouching layers of wool and linen, and they flutter after her as she disregards all potential seats to pace the length of his room and turn back, hands twisting the braided cord around her waist.
What can she say? Realizing she has to explain herself doesn't make the words come.
