"Are you going inside? Why don't we go together?" the woman with the red veil asks cheerily.
Selene can feel Kaden's grasp tightens in her arm. The tension emanating from his body is so potent that she can almost taste it. Since they left the village, Kaden had been on edge, and despite their disastrous first impressions, he's comfortingly overprotective of her. It must be too much of a burden to him. Selene gently removes his hand from her and looks at Kaden while putting a nonchalant expression on her face.
"Why don't you go now and do your business. I will wait for you to come back." Selene said calmly, silently telling him through her eyes that she would handle it and that he didn't need to worry. The woman may have acted weirdly, but she seems to be harmless. Selene can only feel her curiosity as the woman stares at her keenly. Though she's still emanating a powerful impression, she can't ignore it. Selene is curious to know who she is.
