I was surprised when Serina asked me for defensive arrays around Drago's place. She said that it's for Ash, but I knew that her mind was on the man that captured her heart.
Serina said that she will do most of the work, so I agreed. She needs to practice and I was eager to see her progress with mastery of runes.
Serina's expression was comical when I told her that I will join her to meet with Drago.
I waited for the last moment on purpose because I didn't want to give her time to alert him. I needed him unaware and unprepared.
Serina thought that I'm going to investigate him as her boyfriend, and she was not wrong, but my motives were driven by the information Lazarus gave me.
