A Question of Leaks

"Sorry, Princess, but I'm here on King Fred's orders. Besides, I did hear that you somehow did manage to escape from here before." [41002]

"Oh yes, so I did. So much weirdness has happened since that I'd almost forgotten. You've brought down two cots, so I take it that Belboz will be joining us once more?"

"Yes, he should be here soon. He said that he needed to take a leak first. I should have left him to carry his own cot. You can fold them up so they're not too bulky, but they're heavy when you try to shift two at once."

Astra wished that Wendel hadn't mentioned Belboz wanting to take a leak, as it made her conscious that her own bladder was starting to feel a little uncomfortable. Was it that she was unduly suggestible, or instead a result of the dungeons being noticeably chillier than her previous accomodation?

Another ten minutes passed.

1. Belboz arrives. "Sorry I was so long," he says.
2. Astra decides that she can wait no longer. "Would you mind turning your back?" she asks Wendel. "I... er... need to take a leak myself."
3. Meanwhile Belboz has been lighting candles in a hidden room in the dungeons, putting the finishing touches to a powerful spell.
4. Meanwhile how is Edward getting on?
5. Meanwhile Fred is still interviewing nobles proclaiming their loyalty.
