"And just where have you been??" asked one of the girls as Sonia strode into the Diamond Pony. She waved her hand to ward the girl off and started toward her room, deciding she would get her things together as quickly as she could. However, the Madame, seeing Sonia enter so late in the day came barreling forward and grabbed her by the arm. "You'd better have money for your day," said the woman.

"I didn't have any patrons, I just took time to reflect."

"You know that isn't how we do things here." The matron grabbed her by the arm and started to drag her to her room, "The Master will be so disappointed in you, since you are his favorite after all."

"I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Oh? Then why are you coming back empty handed?"

The argument ensued for about an hour before the Matron locked her in her room...

She immediately began to grab her belongings, and then the bedsheets which she knotted and threw out the window, tying it to one post of the bed. She went to the window then and peered out the window, waiting for Darius to arrive.
