Anyway, off they go and they'll stick to the main streets. Partly because it's the main way to get to the store and also it keeps him open and in public eye, making it more difficult for anyone to try and attack. But people are clearly tense and are quick to start at any odd sound when passing an alley. Eustace even feels an occasional stare, but while he notes it, he doesn't try to draw attention to it. Mostly because he doesn't want Maribelle suddenly running off to try and deal justice.
But...is that the sound of someone following them? Or just someone walking in the same direction?]
