The weather was fine as Hazel set out for the king's city and the lost prince. The sky was clear and blue, there was a light breeze, it was shaping up to be a good day. Her aunt and uncle saw her off after loading her down with food, water, and advice, and after Adymary knelt down to say goodbye especially to Toast. Hazel grinned to herself. She'd always known her aunt liked her dog.
Hay did not come by to say goodbye. He'd stayed the night but had left just after sunrise, to go back to his own house, change his clothes, get on with the rest of his day, and not have to watch Hazel leave. She'd promised to write to him and reassured him for what felt like the thousandth time that she wasn't going to be gone a year.
( Hazel turned around once to wave goodbye, but once she got going she kept looking forward. )
