The Crimson Vault (The Traveler's Gate Trilogy)
“After his final showdown with the Damascan Travelers, he had Traveled to Valinhall for healing, but he’d been forced to take three of Alin’s huge Elysian bears with him. Valinhall, he had learned, was not equipped to support bears. They had torn up three couches and one of the strange oxen from the garden before the Nye had enough.
Simon had walked the bears from the canyon at the edge of the Badari Desert all the way back to Enosh, and had then managed to sneak them into Alin’s room. That had ...taken most of a day, but the look on Alin’s face when he saw the bears was worth every second. Simon had spied on Alin’s reaction from outside his window, but after seeing the bears, it had taken Alin all of ten seconds to summon a tracker that located Simon.
After that, Alin had insisted that Simon be given rooms in the Grandmasters’ palace and the little buzzing-acorn alarm that would alert him in an emergency. Alin hadn’t put it that way, of course. He said something like, ‘Now I can call you whenever I need you.’ But since it would allow Simon to help in case of an attack, he let Alin’s poor phrasing slide.MoreLess
