Bastien shut his mouth and stood up. He could not stand the discomfort Henrik gave him any longer. It seemed the feeling would only go away once he went crazy with Margaux or met the last tester.
"This is unfortunate," the President said quietly. "But today isn't the only day... I'll keep my promise and send someone with you as a guide. You can leave her wherever you like. And, as Henrik said, it would be better not to go to Yorbia or the coast."
"Then see you next time."
Ottavio came in and led Bastien out of the room. When he was gone, a sigh echoed through the small room.
"It seems he doesn't believe what we say."
"I guess you two really didn't get along, huh?"
"I don't know why he's so wary of me. I had a good time with Margaux and the last tester."
"There will be another chance."
