Blearily, you stare at the Guards. Waiting for whatever is to come.
"I ... I see. Of course. Ah, if you would follow me, I'll take you to the Watch-Serjant. He'll arrange to get you back to your father."
Arrange. You knew this was coming, and yet you still feel unprepared for this blow. Realistically, there was never any way that you were going to leave this Gatehouse alone. You could convince Nasturtium and Sulphreme - barely, mind - but Guards? Who would be held to account if anything happened to you? Who are on some sort of city-wide alert? Who believe that you have been ... mistreated to some extent? No, you are going to be leaving here under armed guard - one way or another. Unless you try to run for it ... which you don't fancy doing, not in this dress. If they leave you unattended, out of reach long enough, you might be able to make a break for it. But you will be known to the Guard ... and if whatever they are expecting with this alert happens, then you will probably be blamed and hunted for that as well ...
But as you make measured steps towards Gate and Guard, as his 'other half' stands aside, you have to wonder how if your prospects are for talking your way out are much better.

> You will commit to talking your way out of this, baring threats to your person or ... discovery. You will keep an eye out and an ear cocked for escape routes and opportunities, but that will be the extent of it.
> You will commit to running your way out of this, as soon as the opportunity arises - unless, of course, you manage to talk yourself into being let out onto the Mount before you get an opening to make a break for it.
> You will commit to running your way out of this, as soon as the opportunity arises - unless, of course, you manage to talk yourself into being let out onto the Mount alone before you get an opening to make a break for it.
