Éliane let out a light sigh, relieved that Kayliss followed the recommendation that she and Esben had given. Having him recalled would have been a loss, but she also had doubted that the deputy director would have disagreed too much in the end. 

[b]“I have no arguments there,” [/b]she agreed, deciding not to comment on Esben’s infamous inability to lie. “It would be nice to see Solitude again after all this time.” 

It hadn’t even been all that long since she had left—maybe some months now, but with all the fighting and the revelations that she’d received on this journey, it felt far longer than it actually was. 

It would also be nice to see her family and the bakery again. Maybe she would even invite Esben and the others.
