On the morning of departure, just after finishing breakfast, Anning found Vanni packing things up.
"What are you doing?" Anning asked in confusion.
"I'm setting off with the baggage train." Vanni turned to look at Anning, then said irritably, "I told you to find a batman, but you only found someone to take care of your horse, not someone to take care of you!"
Anning scratched his head: "I thought I could take care of myself."
After all, Anning had lived independently for so many years before crossing over and was confident in his ability to take care of himself.
But Vanni snorted: "Every time when I'm not there to look after you, you keep wearing the same military uniform over and over, just like Mr. Robespierre in Paris!"
Robespierre was dragged into this, which showed how deep an impression his perpetually unworn green coat had left on Vanni.
