Nadia (and her silent, not quite visible cat-boy companion with a camcorder) found her way down to the beach that night. "Excuse me," she called. "Do you know where I can find an inn around here?"

"Naaaaadia," Tyler said, grinning crookedly. "There's that Arms place in town, you tried it?"

"Arms? Nonono, I need an inn. A place to sleep?"

"That's what the Arms is," Tyler said solemnly. "Hotel. They rent rooms?"

"Oh. Sorry, of course. I don't know this part of Fandom that well. I'm from the castle."

"Castle," Tyler repeated. "You mean campus? I've never been to the Arms, I just know where it is."

Panic suddenly crossed his face. "D'you think I got kicked out or anything?"

"Kicked out of where? And I mean the castle. Up there." Nadia pointed towards the school.

Tyler glanced past her finger. "Right, the school. Jus' looks like a castle."

He took another glug of booze. "I went AWOL," he said. "I don't wanna have to repeat this semester, or anything."

Tyler laughed mirthlessly. "That's me, Father Tyler. Got any sins you want to confess?"

That was the second person to mention Walter, and the second time that it went right over Nadia's head. "Oh? Do you have a quest you need to go on, too?"

"Thought I did," Tyler said, turning the bottle in his hands. "I screwed up. They didn't need me. I ended up back here. Drunk. And possibly flunked out of tenth grade."

"You failed your quest? That's the saddest thing I ever heard."
