My patience was very near the brink of snapping. I couldn't just rush Bones out of the area - not without possibly sparking off another manic episode in the Emperor, but I needed to talk with him as soon as possible.

Bones shook his head after we left and began to make a beeline for our quarters. I suppose I can wait that long.
