He waited just a little longer

"See? This line is going pretty fast."

Unlike the previous line, this line was visibly moving forward, though still at a rather glacial pace. A hamster with no legs could outrun it, but progress was progress. What worried Esau the most (after having to wait the line a second time) was that while demons seemed to go into the King's chamber, none of them seemed to come out again.

"Have you noticed that nobody seems to leave after they're done talking to your king?"

"I'm sure they're leaving some other way. Like a window maybe."

"I'd prefer to not leave via window, especially since this keep is very, very tall."

"You're worrying too much."

"Am I though? I doubt the King of all sin is all that much of a nice guy."

"That's... true, but he is fair, most of the time," Bell grimaced, "sometimes."

An hour or so later they were before the chamber door, and they were let through.
