Augusta had not planned on returning again to Baska, certainly not in such a short amount of time since when she had last been there. By all rights, it was far too soon, too early for her to have dared showed her face again within the area of Baska, though at this point, after everything that had happened, that as she had ventured from Crocus, the rumors spreading about the plague that was rumored to have originated on behalf of the doctor, the man who in all truth had been assisting Augusta with the survival and refuge of the place. That the tides and fortunes of the two had changed in such a dramatic and overwhelming manner, and that Augusta had managed to escape through the entire process without having been exposed or otherwise struck by the recognition of the people who were still there within Baska and trying to make amends to what was going on, it was a welcome change. It granted her a level of luxury and promise that she might not have had otherwise, a risk that she might have had to regard for herself but now at this point being in a position where she could have just gone about and not worried about things of that nature. Instead, she was able to simply engage herself and operate as though nothing was different, like there were no changes nor anything that in the past at least she might have had to worry about. Instead, she were just like everyone else, a simple woman who had ventured back into a city for the first time, unworried or concerned as to what she might have encountered or had to deal with.
The fact that she had gotten a request to be seen as easily and as quickly as she ultimately did while within Baska was something that she did not expect, even though she knew that there might have been at least some who may have been more engaged and otherwise aware of what had happened, of the role that Augusta played in the earlier affairs and instances in which affected not just the people who were here, but also those that might have had vested interests throughout Baska, that were affected. It was very likely that throughout all of those parties that might have in some manner or another been affected by Augusta, whether for the betterment or for the worst, it was very clear that someone had come to August in the hopes of capitalizing on what she had managed to do prior, having completely destabilized the area at least with respects to those that had sought – or at least as she had believed that she might have been the case – who were plotting to stand against God. As it turned out, it was not the case, and it angered her, making her believe that there was no reason to return to Baska, but now as fate would have it, she were back there again.
