"Here? I'm allowed to?" Aine asked, befuddled. They wouldn't want a Graceling here, no matter what her Grace was; people feared Gracelings, they avoided them. Aine couldn't rid the fear that, somehow, her father would find her, and the punishment would be all the worst. Look at what had happened when she had arrived home late; that was standard punishment. She couldn't imagine what would happen if he caught her running off. In the back of Aine's mind, she sensed the boy's unease when he mentioned, "after...", and it spiked her curiousity.
