Thanksgiving isn't a holiday in Tortall, but Alanna decides it would be a perfect excuse to follow through on her plans with Mel. Too often, these offers fall by the wayside; she's determined that this not happen here, if only to see Mike investigate the castle's kitchen.
It's late when they make their way from the ruins, taking turns pushing Raph's wheelchair over slick grass and crackling leaves. Moving under the cover of darkness helps limit the curious stares at both the chair and its occupant’s scowl. The air smells like apples and hearth fires, and both Alanna and Adam brightened visibly when the castle yard comes into sight.
Myles is there to welcome their guests and quickly helps them settle in; there will be time enough for conversation over the next few days.
