After Maevis and Skye finished making the privacy walls, she and Shasta got to work. They chatted while stretching, allowing Skye to quickly go over dinner with Magnus. Hearing tiny bits of their discussion, Maevis fluttered down to them, and helped explain her and Skye's discussion after she'd returned from dinner with the king.
"Does Magnus know about everything? Or did you omit certain things?" Shasta inquired.
Skye fidgeted in place with a guilty expression; "I didn't tell him about me dreams or the voice, but he probably knew I was holdin' out on him.. I hate lyin'. It does nothin' but cause issues."
Shasta chuckled; "Only if you suck at it."
"Why would I want to be good at it?! I don't like it!"
Maevis interrupted the two; "Because you're a princess. Avoiding revealing truths about yourself for your own protection isn't lying, it's more like self-preservation."
