"Eeek!"
Bang!
After a shrilly cry from Mariek, a loud door banged shut. Lucien's hand went still in the air while Yllana was facepalming. Mariek saw that Lucien was sliding off Yllana's robe to expose her shoulder. It was morning. And she saw that scene when she opened Yllana's door first thing in the morning.
"She did not knock," Lucien grumbled as he continued what he was doing. "Most of your wounds have healed. There are no more traces of the poison too. *sigh* I will ex-"
Yllana stopped Lucien from continuing. "Let her be. I want to see how she will react when she sees us later." A playful smile displayed in Yllana's face. This is something you do not see everyday.
When Yllana and Lucien stepped into the kitchen for breakfast, they saw Mariek's beet-red face glancing at both of them. The others kept looking at the little girl with a questioning gaze.
"Mariek," she called out.
"Y-yes!"
