Ahir trailed off and looked away. None of this made sense. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep in the cellar, and eccentric though Ilban could be, he was fairly sure the man would at least tell Ahir if he were going away with a guest. And judging by the state of himself and this stranger beside him--

Ahir spotted some likely-looking clothing on the ledge beside the recessed bed. Holding the blanket around his waist, he carefully sat up to snag it, and began dressing beneath the blankets. At the very least, he could sense the stranger's discomfort with this situation, and Ahir didn't need the man seeing any more of the lashing scars on his back than he'd already glimpsed.
"Do you know where we are?" Ahir asked while he dressed. "I don't remember you. Or being here. Did Ilban give me to you?"
