Once out of the room, I found that the Duke had left a slave that I did not recognize to fetch Nanashi, as he had already retired for the night. I allowed him to lead Nanashi away and began to return to my own abode, exhausted from my earlier exploits. Once home, I barely had the energy to change, and probably would have fallen into bed naked if Heero hadn't been there. The boy probably thought I was drunk and delirious when, as he crawled into bed next to me, I grabbed his wrist and suddenly ordered that he pick up wire-cutters the next time he was out. Surprised as he was, he instantly nodded and I had no doubt that he would get them, I just hoped that I remembered I had asked for them.
